I was able to get food and retain it. Thanks for looking into the matter, for now it seems to be resolved. I hope it stays that way haha.

On the UK server my character did retain his hydration. I have no food to test hunger and it seems I am very close to death from starvation already. I Will try to get someone to bring me food.

Thanks for sending in that info. Please try logging on with your character now and see if the problem is still there.

I was able to drink some when I logged in today. Still starving and waiting for someone to bring food to my location. Also On the US-1 server for DayZ Colony I had the same issue about 30 minutes into a new spawn. Tried to eat human steaks and my hunger would not update, re-logged and was starving/thirsty.

Hi Fuggaak,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. If you send in a link to your Steam profile, I'll check your character data and see what the hunger/thirst status is in the database.

Also, please send in the ip + port numbers for the private server that your character is on.

Thanks,
JStewart

Hello Makaan.
Currently we do not plan any changes to the wood gathering system, however that may change in future stages of development. Also if your inventory is full, the wood is put on the ground at the tree root area.

Hello Geez,

well the tree fell with a loud "timber" but i would like ask for some changes in the chopping mechanic since getting just one piece of firewood of one entire tree is a bit silly. also the first one did not drop at all (might have something to do with my full inventoy)

i started with a pristine firefighter axe and after two trees the axe was badly damaged. thats ridiculous. at this rate i need a new axe after every two fires. of course the game is still work in progress but you maybe want to change the durability of an axe (i thought russian axes are stronk) or supply us with more stones (e.g. like finding them everywhere...) to sharpen the axe to worn again.

Hello Makaan.
You have to use the chop option multiple times until the tree falls down.
Please retest and report back whether that has worked.

Geez

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. It looks like you have some kind of permission problem on your user account since you get that error message from Windows. Please try to set both Steam and DayZ to run as admin before launching the game.

no matter what server i try to join this happens to me

Alright, in this case I would recommend that you refer to the network troubleshooting guide below since something is blocking/disrupting your connection to the servers:

1. Check all the physical devices on your network to ensure they are plugged in and powered on.
2. Perform a connection test on each device connected to the network. For reference, here is a list of platform-specific troubleshooting guides:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/network-connection-problem-help#network-problems=windows-7&v1h=win81tab1&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

NAT Types:

• Open
• Moderate
• Strict

Open NATs can connect to any of the three types. --> Probably the least common type
Moderate can only connect to open and moderate. --> Probably the most common type
Strict can ONLY connect to open.
Strict NATs are a difficult problem with peer-to-peer games. Since most people don't have open NATs, the player with a strict NAT won't be able to find many joinable games.

Also, if the player with a strict NAT does manage to join a game, if another player with a moderate NAT joins later, the player with the strict NAT gets kicked out.

Another problem is that sometimes the ISP (Internet Service Provider) is also behind a NAT, which often means even if you have a direct connection to the internet (without a router/firewall), the ISP still acts as a strict NAT.

Port Forwarding:
The following Ports need to be open on your router to connect to the online servers:
TCP 80, UDP 88, UDP 2302, UDP 2314, UDP 2326, 2338

If you need assistance with opening these ports, please refer to the following website for more information (you will need to know your router brand and model, as the website guides are based on specific routers)
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Here are some additional tips that have helped many players improve their connectivity:

1. Make sure your router's firmware is upgraded the latest version (very important).
2. Unplug your router for 10 minutes and plug it back in. Some older routers degrade in performance over time until it is rebooted, similar to a PC.
3. Disable any firewall or other network filtering for the game.
4. Enable uPnP (universal plug and play) on your router.
5. If you don't care about security, enable DMZ (de-militarized zone) on your router for your PC's address. This turns off all of your router's firewall features for that specific PC.
6. Run 'cmd' in administrative mode and use command ipconfig /flushdns
7. Contact your ISP and ask them what your DNS setting should be.

Direct Connection:
If you are still having issues connecting to the online servers after trying the above steps, try connecting your broadband modem directly to the console or PC you are playing the game on. This can help determine if the issue is related directly to the router or another source.

Alternatively, you can try out the following steps:

1. Start Steam and right click on DayZ in your game library (make sure that the game is not running).
2. Select the tab labeled "Local Files".
3. Click on the button labeled "Verify integrity of game cache...".
4. Restart your pc once the process is complete.

After this, do the following.

1. Hold down your Windows key and press R.
2. Type in "cmd" (without quotation marks) and hit Enter.
3. Type in "netsh winsock reset" (without quotation marks) in the command window and hit Enter.
4. Restart your pc as/if prompted by the cmd window.
5. Launch DayZ.

If this does not solve the problem, here's a suggestion that is a bit more drastic. Please be aware though; you might have to reinstall your other Steam games afterwards:

1. Move the entire "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps" folder to your desktop. Your "SteamApps" folder should now be at the following location: "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\SteamApps".
2. Move the "DayZ" folder out of the "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\SteamApps\common" folder and subsequently delete the "DayZ" folder.
3. Uninstall Steam while making sure the "SteamApps" folder is still on your desktop.
4. Restart your pc.
5. Install a new version of Steam.
6. Go to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps" folder.
7. Move everything inside the old "SteamApps" folder on your desktop to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps" folder.
8. Install DayZ again.

No my game does not start even after uninstalling drivers.
No i did not change anything of have lunchparameters.
UPDATE!
My game starts sometimes after 10+ tries.

Thanks for getting back on the issue guys.

@krcenov: Do you have the same behaviour as rgovender?

Also, do you have any launch parameters for DayZ in Steam, and have you been modifying any of your cfg files for better performance for example?

Interestingly enough, I uninstalled my video driver, which reverted me to the Microsoft default of Microsoft basic Display Driver and it now launches. DxDiag2.txt uploaded.

Exactly the same error message. Followed step recommended by JStewart to no avail. DxDiag1.txt uploaded.

Hi krcenov,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. To begin with, could you try updgrading to the Experimental version and subsequently downgrading to the Stable version of DayZ?

In order to switch version, please perform the following steps:

1. Open steam
2. Go to games library
3. Right click on DayZ
4. Select "Properties"
5. Select "BETAS" tab in the properties menu
6. Then select the desired version from the drop down box
7. Close the menu and the game should update/backdate to the requested version

If this does not solve your problem, please attach a dxdiag report to this ticket:

1. Open the Start menu
2. Write "dxdiag"
3. Press enter
4. A window will open
5. Click "Save all information"
6. You will get a text file - that's what we need

Thanks,
JStewart

Dxdiag file has been uploaded.
When i clicked on betas and i selected experimental and clicked close it did NOT start downloading like it should...
But is says now Dayz[experimental].
And now it starts the console says battle aye something
then lunching game the console closes and nothing...

I logged in to be right where a v3s was. This forced the v3s underground and then back up shooting me in the air killing me. Bye bye M4 and so much gear. that guy had been alive for about 3 weeks. Trying hard like you not to dwell on it but still annoyed.

FOV should be adjusted before adding SVD.

Those "arrows" are intended for 1100, 1200 and 1300 meters. Players cease to render at 1000 so they're not useful anyways. The stadiametric rangefinder, however...

No you don't stop render after 1000m. Depends on what you put in your config file in the lines viewDistance and preferredObjectViewDistance. Mine are @1500.
Network bubble are 2km for players I think, where doors is only 1km (that's why you don't see open doors past this range).
And yes, scope with range finder or mil-dot are useless until you find the correct FOV. Should be fixed when aim and solve in the same time snipping without scope.

I depends how your field of view is set in options menu!! theres only one correct setting- all other make the marks dont work

No one ever said 2D scope will ever be one day 3D. I'm not even talking about PiP scope.

Since this applies only to the 2D scopes like LRS and PSO, I'm pretty sure they will change this when they are remodelled into 3D ones like the PU

this tends to happen in buildings that require you to go up a few steps to get inside (the grocery store)
