The point of having it get dark is to make it a pros versus cons situation

You're lighting the fire for warmth / cooking / light and to keep away the boogeymen, but you're unable to see outside of the reaches of the light, and anyone far away is able to see your fire and knows you're there.

It makes lighting a fire at night more of a risk. Maybe you need to have guards posted outside the light so they can protect the people near the fire, etc.

I've had this too, don't know why I had it though.

You didn't watch my video, did you. The fireplace in my video wasn't even lit.

Please watch it before you comment.

Yes I know your point, but still in real life you can see a little bit, it doesn't darken all black. You guys have your own opinions but I think that in game we should see even a little bit.

It is not completly black for me.

Okay. But I think it shouldn't dark it to black. It's ok that it darks but why all the way black? Not good like that is my opinion.

No, It's better the way it is. For example, take real life. You stay in one dark room for 1 hour. Your eyes get focused on dark, your retina ( IDK name of it, but it's part of eye, not native english speaker ) gets bigger, collecting more light sources, and makes you get focused in dark, meaning you can see a bit better. Now, take flashlight and flash it in eyes for 3 seconds, then quickly turn off lamp and look in room. You see nothing! YEAH, SCIENCE!

i hope the new renderer with new light effects correct this. i dont know if this was intended or a bug but sometimes i think its a bug.

imho this is correct how it works. Try to dark black your room. Try to turn on a flashlight, maybe of your handy. Keep it down in your hand = Room brightening up you can see better.

Now try to get your light near to your eyes = You wont see anything, 'cause everything will look black again even when the light is turned on

Hi,

Thanks for sending in your feedback on this issue. There are no plans of turning DayZ into 1st person view exclusively. We do however hope that you'll have great experiences with the game on the servers that are locked in 1st person view.

I am supporting this, because it would just be awesome. No more disadvantage etc. The only problem with it is that a lot of people will stop playing (a lot of KOS'ers which is good).

3rd person exists because the mod had it, the mod had it because ArmA2 had it. People like seeing their character. There are plenty of hardcore servers around.

An alternative solution would be to move the 3rd person camera in closer to the player, so it's more over-the-shoulder, limiting the corner look advantage.

play hardcore or on server where only 1st person is enabled and you will be fine

Im not supporting this, It seems great, but if you preffer first person, go play on hardcore, sorry.

Hi,

Thanks for sending in your information. Your problem should now be solved. In case you encounter any further problems, please feel free to open up a new ticket in the Feedback Tracker.

I am also getting this bug. Only happens when it is raining, it is a dark ring of shadow around my character. It is fixed when in first person mode. I am running an Gigabyte Windforce AMD Radeon R9 290 GPU.

Hey droidekafan and sorry to hear about your trouble.
Could you please attach your DxDiag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DxDiag) report to the ticket? More specifically, I'd be interested in knowing which graphics card you use (AMD by any chance?).
Thanks,
Andy

Yep, The graphics card I use is an Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X.

We need some BASIC Server-Logs to find hackers !

I found the server IP:

8.2.121.44.2302

Thanks for the report, jerryz16.
We are already aware of this (#20105) and it has been scheduled for a fix.

Happens an my AK101 and AKM, with all types of handguard, painted and unpainted.

Hello,

Thank you for sending us your feedback regarding this issue. Unfortunately, this problem (as mentioned) is a known issue that has previously been reported. The devs are aware of the problem related to character save loss and they'll be working on fixing it.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. You character being stuck shouldn't have an impact on the connection issues you experience. To begin with though; is your character still stuck or did you manage to get out?

In case the character was still stuck last time you played, please send in a link for your Steam account and I'll have a look at your account in the database. Example: "http://steamcommunity.com/id/xxxxxxxxxx/"

wait a bit longer, if the servertime is normal and not 24h, wait until it is XX:01.

If you see "Wait for Host" disconnect asap. If you see at the left bottom corner

123

test

you got a new char, disconnect asap, try a different server and go back. with some luck you got your old one back.

Why is this a continuing to be a known issue? Y'all are getting a really bad rap in the gaming community due to this, alpha or not. Do you know that? I'm certainly not going to purchase any BI game again aaaany time soon.

Fix this or enjoy going out of business before you can even launch the friggen game.

you waited for people to be in the server to join? that was a big mistake, wait for the server to connect with the hive or you got a new char. you can join a server right after serverstart but you will be in the lobby not on the server. this issue is already hundred time in the feedback tracker and a known issue.

and how can i know when the server is connected with the hive?

I died, this is not needed anymore.

I'll close your ticket then, bit in case you encounter any further problems, please feel free to open up a new ticket in the Feedback Tracker.

push =)

You should only be able to store clothes inside other clothes (same goes for backpacks and vests) if they are empty with no objects inside them.

Hello Paper26 and thank you for the report.
Unfortunately we were not able to reproduce the issue you have described.Currently characters cannot put any piece of clothing containing items into inventory.Please retest once next patch goes onto Steam and report back if the issue persists.
Regards,
Geez

I wouldn't say this is cheating. You're able to pick up cloths and store them in your bag, why not store them in your shirt since its fits. People just have learn to store items in the stored cloths.

I've found that changing the rendering of All Trees + Grass to another one fixes the issue but at the expense of the environment.

Can confirm for all ghillie variants including the gun wrap. (R9 290X latest drivers)

Hi everyone and thank you for your feedback.
I've decided to use the #20179 ticket for this, please feel free to monitor it for further updates.
Regards,
Andy

You are cold, and you do need a campfire (or two or three next to each other!!)

I know it doesn't say you are cold, but you are!

You need to spend ages by the campfires.

Believe me! Get yourself a thermometer and measure your temperature. It will be at 35°C (lowest possible display) and stay there for ages when you are by the fire.

It's important it says "I am slowly warming up" every once in a while.

Try it out, please, let me know if it worked (did for me and a friend though he didn't believe me!!)

EDIT: Sorry about the hacker, dude. Just read that. That's been happening to us a lot, lately, too.....

it helped but 10 minutes after i got robed by a hacker bambi while i was looking at map

oh nice.. i got shot by a hacker but for me the problem got fixed (i hope not temporarily :D )

*also the campfire did not help me.. after 20mins spent close to it with empty hands it reduced the shaking a bit for a while but it rapidly went to the old state

confirmed took like 10 minutes of dancing around the fire...tried moving away and back towards it to the the "I'm warming up message" and finally i quit shaking when looking down sites.

^ and did it help? :D

^ yep hes right yesterday i spent 80 minutes siting by 3 camp fires

Same problem here:
http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=20286

You need to put down a fire or two and sit there for awhile. You have a cold bug - not seeing messages your frozen cold. Heat up for 10+ minutes and make sure items not in hands. lay down and volla all fixed.

I know been testing this for a very long time.

Same here.

Confirmed, same happening to me all the time.

Hey haroldstoneworthy and thank you for your report.
We decided to use the #20093 ticket for this - there should be some tweaks to this eventually, please be patient.
Thank you,
Andy

Yup, these only spawn at helicopter crash sites now and can be pretty rare. We might be reworking this eventually, but the current state is considered intended.
Thank you for your feedback,
Andy

ammo box should spawn at heli crashes (if you find one.. i have seen only one already looted since june :D )

do you mean the same shaking happening to me? http://youtu.be/_nxIkAcn6cY i needed 56 bullets to hit a friend standing on the roof (with correct zeroing ofc) without optics it's not that bad but using a scope it's simply "f*** you" situation
