Both me and my friends are finding the official DayZ PS4 server 2092 at this point unbearable to play on albeit we are resistant to move servers quiet yet as we’ve built an incredible base and hope that you can address the issue.
The issue is the stability of the server or more accurately the instability of it. None of us have had any issues on other DayZ servers - we are even very capable at driving and found first person view prevented almost all of the desync issues that other players complain about.
On 2092 however we have found the below issues:
“No messages received for __ seconds” being displayed on average between 30-40 times per day resulting in all players in the lobby being kicked. I’m sure this number is actually far greater as we obviously don’t play constantly and so I would imagine this figure in reality being closer to 60 times per day. When you rejoin, it pulls you back approximately 1 minute earlier although we have noticed damage to tools for that minute reset period remain on the tools. Occasionally items also appear to be super somehow. If you have been fighting another player who tried ambushing you, this is also incredibly frustrating as you may have ruined their armour and seriously hurt them only for all of that damage to be lost.
Significant lag almost constantly. This can be seen by other players seemingly teleporting about as well from interaction with items taking a great deal of time. Depending on the severity of the lag, we also notice that sometimes hits on zombies don’t register at all despite their hits registering on the player. This has resulted in countless near death instances.
Impossible to drive a car. On other servers, we have found driving in first person view fixes almost all issues with driving we just needed to be careful around cities like Nadbor. On 2092 however, it is impossible to drive any great distance without significant desync. From the players perspective the car can do anything from randomly swerve in any direction (more often than not at a sharp 90 degree angle) to randomly taking flight and doing twirls in the air whilst maxing our the revs in the car engine. The usual desync most players complain about is also experienced here where the game/car freezes for 10+ seconds.
We have noticed these issues usually get worse as the day progresses and cannot see any significant link between the issues experienced and the number of players online. Neither I or my friends experience any issues on any other DayZ server and so we are starting to wonder if 2092 is run off a toaster.
If you could please investigate and address the server issues it would be greatly appreciated. We have noticed 2092 being the only server down over the last couple of days for around an hour and so hope this is being addressed.
