happening to me aswell

Many new players including my friend who just got the game are having this problem with their first play experience. Its a terrible introduction to the game, they literally can not play it until this is fixed. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Still getting this issue in 34.115106. Although it does seem to occasionally resolve now, but only after a while.

Same problem here - Started on 8th Jan 2014. Major desync issue's on any server - especially if within close proximity of other players

confirmed

Yep, same here; easily reproducible

Started for me today, extremely annoying. Can't equip anything, can't open doors or climb ladders.

Me and my friends are having the same issues. Please fix this asap as this is a game breaking bug.

Happening here as well. Only on BE enabled servers.

I have tried multiple fixes:
Completely uninstalling AVG and Spybot
Eliminating EVERY non-essential system process
Updating any driver in any way shape or form related to networking

Nothing works except crossing my fingers that I can find the few servers that day that are unaffected for at least a few hours and of course all non BE Servers.

When I get this issue I don't get the chain icon. When I open the player list and select my name it reads ping: 0, bandwidth: 0, desync: 0. When it says desync 10000 its usually a good sign because it indicates that I am at least getting some communication from the server.

same here.. I can´t play it because of this. I have no problems playing DayzMod or other games.

same here!

same here .. i want to play again :(

@Inclemens
yea I don't think it's connection based.

Yes, will a dev even just acknowledge that this exists?

I would like to add that I have a fairly good internet connection (100 Mb/s up and 100 Mb/s down)

Sometimes, when i choose a server with ping 120-250, desync is not as often as servers with low (green) ping. From time to time, desync raise to 100000 , but for 1 or 2 minutes red chain disappears

Same issue for me. Desync is getting really bad and making the game unplayable :(

I would love an official response to this issue.

The devs really need to respond to this in some way, I haven't been able to play for a while because of this.

Same here easily reproducible

A question: Do you or any in your group stack backpacks?
my friend stacked 9 backpacks, which resulted in similar symptoms.

Really hope the devs pick up on this.

Yes, this is a big issue. Still waiting on a dev to even acknowledge this issue.

Same problem but i don't have a chain

I have this issue and I have read that some people able to play without this occurring. I noticed that if you play without logging out you will be able to play without the issue. It would appear to me that if you log out or the server resets that the issue begins. In my personal opinion this should be a top priority fix. I cannot play the game anymore with my friends because i when I get near them the issue begins as well. So, my choices are, play with my friends and not be able to see them or loot. Or, I can just not play until the issue is resolved. For the time being I am just going to not play. I hope this issue is fixed soon seeing as it is ruining my experience for the game. I don't know much about making games or anything of the sort, but everything seemed to be working perfectly fine until battle-eye was implemented.

All the issues I have had on the primary hive regarding this bug are not present on the "experimental" non-battleye hive.

My problem with that is desync, you were before this happened using two primary weapons? Because it happened to me and my cousin and I am trying to relate, since my brother uses my same network and has no problems!

Hi, I have found the problem to be battleeye, we disabled it on our server and majority (not all) desync disappeared, then this morning our provider turned battleeye back on and removed our right to edit the config. This was done under the instruction of Brian Hicks and I have explained that battleeye is killing the game. Turn it off and we can play without problem with it on I cannot even get out of the building I spawn in as I have permanent 100K desync.

Thorough Description regarding the issue is linked here:

http://my.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1v3r75/is_the_game_completely_unplayable_due_to_strange/ceoituz

And yes, The culprit is Battleye

Apparently it's caused by battle eye

Look's like it's an BattleEye issue, cause on server's without BattleEye all normal. I guess there's no anti-cheat worst than BattleEye

And i guess change the name to Desync, maybe more people will found it.

still an issue? can this be closed?

@Geez may be close this ticket as obsolete?
