This is not realistic, and really needs updating. I'm not sure why they made this change at all, when it was working fine before. What was removing this feature supposed to solve?

Looks like WoBo found my bug report and decided it was worthy enough to create a whole video about it ;-)

Hello everyone.
We are working on this issue, however we have not been able to reproduce it on our end yet.
Could this be related to some sort of desynchronisation happening at the time when the issue occurs?

On pc this isn't happening apparently. The fact this hasn't been fixed yet is kind boggling. Every guns accuracy is chalked.

Hello Deferto.
The vehicle body has its own separate health from engine, wheels, fuel tank etc. Therefore the vehicle can be ruined while the other parts are not.

Hello,
Seems like you have joined some sort of fake server which downloads mod for another server it redirects to.
We suggest deleting all the installed mods and try to join another server. We also suggest trying the official servers.

Hello.
Can you try to disable all programs running except for DayZ to see if the issue persists? Was the windows 11 a clean install? Are all your drivers up to date? are you running any sort of overclocking?
Are you using mods?
Does the issue occur on completely vanilla installation of the game?
Do you run any overlay programs or something such as RivaTuner that could be causing the issue?
Is there enough memory allocated?

Can you please try this on a server with lower ping if you have such servers available?

Thank you everyone.
We are looking into the issue.

Geez

Hello,
can you please provide further details? What happens when you try to connect to those servers?

hey thanks guys! it works now! hope you all have a great day :)

Do you have a date when this will be fixed? As it’s massively disturbs the flow and style of the game. Especially when the game requires the team play to actually enjoy it.

something or someone comes out of no where and wipes me out just killed me 5 mins ago

All right. Never mind. I successfully trapped the invisible zombie in a building.
However, please take care of this problem.

Yes pretty sure i tried to wait for one in a house, once it hit me in the house i ran for the door closed it and then no more hitting, i trapped it like a zombie, so i think zombies are bugged since the last update they did 17/07/2025. Same kind of problems apparently happened back in 2019. Players were reporting about that

Are you absolutely sure about that? The behaviour is like a player hitting another player not like a zombie, meaning classical fist attack.
We've last experienced this on:
20/07/2025 17:12 UTC +02:00 Chernarus+ coordinates 027/140

Come and see the amount of loot inside the base

Tell me if you need any more info of anytype

The same thing also happens when

1. constructing bases (using entrenching tool, you know, shovel)
2. attached to a ladder

Happened twice in 2 minutes{F6064189}

Hello Geez, sorry it took so long to get back to it!

Bump

To be clear, I tried :
Deleting dayz documents files three times with different conditions
updating gpu drivers and installing previous version
windows memory test
deleting nvidia app
changing video settings multiple times
making dayz documents not read only
disabling steam overlay
reinstalling the game and then battleeye
none of this helped, I dont really want to reinstall widnows and im not really sure if it will help.

So reviewed but no one trying to help ? meh

was talking to another guy who also got killed like this same time on Livonia today about 12pm gmt
