Hello,

In case the problem persists, is the character on a private or public server?

Regards,
JStewart

persistent servers with the teddy bears that have not been looted is a good example of this issue. The old loot persists and new loot spawn in, so they stack in nice little circles... I assume this is less of a bug and more of a feature of the old loot spawn system that has not been revised for persistent loot servers yet. These types of super loot spawns are typical of all persistent servers since persistence has been working.

Hey Paper26 and thank you for your report!
We are aware of such occurrences as they have been reported before - the loot spawning system might get tweaked on a bigger scale soon, which should hopefully take care of these issues. Please be patient.
Regards,
Andy

I've seen this several times over the last couple of days.

Every now and then I'll come across a group of buildings that have ridiculous amounts of items in them. It's usually in places where weapons are more common to be found. I've come in to a prison building to see 10 or so makarov pistols strewn about as well as 5 or more different items in the same exact spot, inside each other.

It's always more than one building in the general area that I've seen. I've noticed that the vehicles outside the affected building that typically only spawn 1 or 2 items also have about 10 items scattered around or on top of each other as well.

With no players on the server, sometimes when I crouch in the more populated areas of loot and drink a canned drink, my legs will break.

I have also been randomly knocked unconscious only to die in rooms like this. I can't rule out player intervention in those cases.

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.

JStewart

also happens in the main menu, look at this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3CEKkPsJSg

Hi,

Good to hear that you managed to get out.

In case you experience any other problems in the future, please feel free to submit another ticket.

KILLED SELF, NO LONGER NEEDED. CHEERS

Almost all the items are spawning again :D

However, there a re a few which still aren't:

AK Bayonet
Chainsaw
Quivers for Arrows and Bolts

It's worth also looking at this post: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=20945
This has a few more items which aren't spawning.

In unrelated matter, the mosin could definitely use some kind of a bipod. If not an atlas then maybe some WW2 era one, they do exist. Kinda stupid to take that out without having any valid replacement.

Thanks Andy! Much appreciated :)

Thanks for keeping us updated, snipertrifle and others!
We have found some issues with the spawning of a lot of the items mentioned here and they have been scheduled for a fix.
Regards,
Andy

Why they fix Sunglasses Spawn so fast and the Other stuff that not spawn is not fixed since 0.48 or longer

:(

New ticket: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=20945
This one appears to have died.

Has anything changed in 0.53? Haven't seen the missing 0.52 items yet.

^ this. Thanks for the extra info. Russian helis should spawn a lot more than they do but Andy recently said he wouldn't change that. But devs, please add those items back in game, I really miss the bipod :(

Is this issue still being looked at? If not, I will open a new ticket.

PM73 RAK does in fact spawn in the MI crash sites, I have seen one in the update. No luck with the mag however. Definitely could use a few more spawn points, same for the smersh vest. In fact I think the helicopters should be loaded with loot given their rarity. Something like at least 1 guaranteed western primary spawn, at least 1 guaranteed western secondary spawn, and mags for the guns. Finding a chopper should be like Christmas, not a disappointment because the site decided to spawn an officer's cap and two makarovs. Maybe the lower bound for loot should be increased? Pretty much every single spot in the chopper would spawn something?

Maybe add some NATO camps out in the woods that'll have chance of carrying western loot? Making loot difficult to find makes the game tedious, not hard, and only encourages more server hopping.

That's about it.

The following do not spawn, or at least I have no reason to believe that they do:
Meat cleaver
Hunting knife
Pistol suppressor
Atlas bipod (disappeared in .48 or .49, I had a few after the grand wipe, there's definitely a few in some hands, kinda useless since the mosin no longer accepts them)
Mp5 buttstock
Mp5 compensator
Mp5 rail handguard
Chainsaw
Quiver for bolts
Quiver for arrows (never seen one anyways, do they even exist in the game?)
Chenarus prison pants/shirt
Chenarus prison hat

There are also numerous items that have been scrapped from the game, like the tactical vest and the Zluta sodas. Both of which I'd like to see make a reappearance eventually. The tactical vest mostly because it is an armor item like the press vest, survived 3 mosin shots before thanks to one. All other vests in fact do not offer any protection higher than general clothing.

@Calibre:
Weapon flashlights are all over the place. I saw one in a garage yesterday.

Has anyone found the atlas bipod since 0.48? If not I think this is bugged andy

yeah, pistol flashlights are spawning for sure, I ain't seen any weapon ones yet in .52

I can confirm that pistol flashlights are spawning.

Thanks for this Andy! However, since NO ONE has found the ATLAS bipod since 0.48, the MP5 attachments from exp 0.52 in stable or the handgun supressor I am willing to bet a lot that they aren't spawning either. It's odd how half the new items are spawning (hockey stick, bomber jackets) but the cleaver and hunting knives aren't.

pretty sure weapon flash lights have stopped spawning in .52 i've been looking for one pretty much since it was released

Hey snipertrifle and huge thanks for taking the time to do this!
Rest assured we have been monitoring the ticket.
We have now confirmed that PM73Rak and Arrow quivers are indeed not spawning - it has been scheduled for a fix. The other items seem to be fine but we'll double check to be sure.
Thanks,
Andy

Any info would be appreciated devs

Your post isn't about the items that are non existent. we found those already long ago.

TY for confirming the Nato, East silencers and the sword prior though

guys,

the first 0.52 experimental was really cool, you found everything everywhere or on one point ;)

i got all stuff in one building.

i made two small videos for some stuff but you will see how much stuff was there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFgKWeE21A&list=PL_6l2ke0iWCer02amtd3vWPiOUrdkW-G0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV6GVfD0Da0&index=2&list=PL_6l2ke0iWCer02amtd3vWPiOUrdkW-G0

at that time we found all prison items and all nato-items and many more.

but now, it is hard and rare, let us hope it is a bug that some items are not in again.

Military sites include Police station, firehouse, barracks, prison, tents, towers.

I recommend if you do try to search an item out do look at Dayz Wiki and the other sites to cross reference the locations of these items.

Odd times they do change locations like the 22 clip for the amp. from heli to police. I am not sure of anything below 52 patch as I am rather new to dayz.

Sorry guys, no longer with the firm clan, We started our own called ClanZgaming.com and we have our own server (cant change the name). I can restart it any time and we have looked high and dry for these items. None is spawning.

The 22 clip is in the police station as I got 3 the other day on public persistent on.

@heirfuhrer Ok thanks very much we didn't try to figure that item out as it was below the m5 and pistol silencers.

@snipertrifle I have never seen a chainsaw or anyone else. Meat Cleaver or any of the items listed.

I am guessing top end 1000+ teddybears, and about 300+ heli spawns, and about 500 Military spawns or more.

I do not believe the forums of a person finding a prison top (unless it was a one time thing)

The spawn loot would be approx. .001% out of 1000 spawns or more to drop one of these items.

ClanZ guys have all of the gear in the game, up to the newest items not found.
PVE server until we open the public PVP one.

@kyndjiall those mags are very common, to common mostly in the barracks. Chances are people are camping those spawn locations and looting all so you don't get them. Even if they drop them in the forest so you don't get it. But they are there.

@FIRMSneakydude
you cant find stone knives. you have to make them. Search the ground for a small stone. hen you get it put it in your hand and look at where you found the stone. There will be an option to make stone knife.

Confirmed!

Thanks for the information guys, I've updated the issue now. Thanks FIRM for the list but what do you mean about military sites?

I can find an ak101 akm and ak74 but never any magazines in the barracks, I'm imagining it is due to server hopping mostly, but there need to be other spawn points for their mags at least because there only being 3 places in the map to find them (all taken already) is making it virtually pointless to get an ak model in the first place. And I don't mean just in police stations because that's a band-aid on a massive flesh wound of an issue. There are how many DayZ players? And how many of these mags spawn?

If we find more items ill post here so we don't clutter up the threads.

Also if you review some of the wiki sites they do say police stations are included in military sites. Just saying...

the .22 mag spawns in police stations, I had 3 in one session on public and a few on our private server.

Stone Knife

   Torch
   Chainsaw
   Meat cleaver
   Prison uniform
   Handgun Silencer (mainly looking for)
  MP5 Compensator (mainly looking for)
   Prison Jacket
   Prison Pants
   Prison Cap
   Hunting Knife

I asked in troubleshooting. Not one of these has spawned. Our team has our own private server and have spent each 100+ hrs trying to spread out and locate these items where a bouts. Nothing.

I do not think they where introduced, or was not turned on to spawn.

We are no longer looking for these items, as it makes us look stupid trying to hunt down a .00000000001% chance it spawns a dev to turn on the button for the loot to actually spawn.

Confirmed correctly spawn points for items
Rak
Rak mag 15rnd
Amphibia mag10rnd
Longswords

yes, at the last experimental that is the same version as stable 0.52

Has Anyone found a Pistol suppressor?

I know it's still in but the mags don't spawn at the heli crash but in police stations if anyone didn't understand :)

i have found amphibia mags but never the gun

i found a amphibia on a heli crashsite, its still in.

I found the quiver on stable 0.52, 4 days ago in a garden shed(!). Of course it is possible it was dropped by a player, but I can't confirm or deny that.

I have found amphibia mags in various military places - tents, jail buildings, etc.

Thanks for reminding me, I've added the quiver to the list but the longsword is confirmed to be in so I'll take it out

at first 0.52 experimental i nearly found everything. the red-dot for fnx45 the pmrak and the quiver for bolts :)

confirm... i thought they put it out of the game

I've added the PM73 RAK.

I've found the red dot sight, it's still in :) I've added amphibia mags to the list. If anyone has any more items not spawning or spawning incorrectly please post a comment.

You didn't mention Red Dot Sight for FNX

Red Dot Sight for FNX spawn only on american crash site

on the first 0.52 experimental patch i found every of your listen items, now they are rare as they are before.

^ yeah, my point is the items were in experimental but I don't think the items have spawn points configured in stable.

I've updated the list with mp5 attachments because they don't seem to be spawning anywhere, but please let me know if you find any of these items and upvote so the devs can see this and add the items back in :)

I find Longsword is spawning but very rare

Hey ColonelBurton,
the FT is most definitely not dead and we keep track of every ticket.
The reason for no response here was simply the fact that we are aware of this problem and it has been scheduled for an eventual rework - which might take some time, as the whole situation is quite closely linked to the server restart and persistence systems in general.
Rest assured we are looking into ways of preventing this, but as I said, due to the complex nature of the problem, it might take time - please be patient.
I am going to close this ticket, as the issue has been reported before. I'll also make it private to prevent anyone who might not know about this from abusing it.
Thank you for your feedback and dedication.
Regards,
Andy

@Franzuu
Yes, that sounds feesible.

I actually have reproduced it a few times by now, even if unwillingly. It has to do with a discrepancy between when the character is saved and the server loot is saved.

Problem is, you have to know precisely what second (+/- 2 seconds) the server will restart.

Meaning admins can exploit this to their advantage. It has nothing to do with server crashes, but restarts. Brain!

damn, i hate admins doing such things with a server.

if a server has normal restart timers, no crashes and no bad admins.
can you reproduce it, too?

there is a popular duping method involving restarting the server.

Player 1, Player 2

1 drop backpack
2 pick up backpack and log out
1 restart server

or something like that

player 2 logged out and had his stuff saved
player 1 restarted the server before the server synced with the hive and kept his backpack.

There are/were ways to do this on any server involving handcuffs and killing.

Actually you found a bug with an item. I too unstablized the server once. Cant do it again. Seemed to be the spray paint can I used. Did it 3 more times and ended up with 6 of the same bags.

Persistence errors they are working on. So until persistence is fixed, I agree anything reported with persistence doesn't mean much at this point. Dayz knows about persistence.

Even my server provider does, by the messages TuRN off persistence if no loot is spawning. Tents don't work correctly, teddy bears respawn at horrible rates.

The persistence is a mess.

Not BI, there are no comments from other players anymore.

So you downvoted a sensible bug report that can be used for duping because you were upset about my note, did you? Sad case, you are?!

can you reproduce it? i think not. they will fix the server crashes. no crash no "no message receive" no duplication bug

what the hell do you mean with "The feedback tracker is dead"? look at yesterday how many stuff was closed.

BI was on holiday, give them a break!

Wow. The feedback tracker is dead.
Guess nobody cares anymore, not even players.

Hi,

Good to hear that you managed to get out :)

In case you experience any other problems in the future, please feel free to submit another ticket.

JStewart

Managed to get unstuck while running into a wall, changing weapons, and then logging out before animation completed.

thanks. first i thought you were joking but it actually worked. haven't tried to use it tho, it also works with crafting an improvised knife. when i tried to gut a boar i just got a message that i started to gut a boar but i didn't get any meat and i didn't get any options not even to cancel current action, big THANKS to you man.
