none the less its still laggy no matter what server. Official in Svet its horrible driving through Novo is a joke. I really can't see how DayZ is so poorly optimised but anyway I'll continue playing but its a big problem. Not to mention the white walling issue where you can literally close the application and relaunch so you can see through a whole ass town to location any base, its ridiculous. I get if GTA had that problem but you can't lose your loot in GTA. A friend in my group is a pro stash finder he is quite aware about lag that occurs when a stash is nearby we've found tents, cars, bases all because of a certain type of lag that occurs. Mind you we play on Official. Why allow people to place their own custom objects which can cause lag when Official servers dont even run that well either. I sure hope they fix these issues. Especially with the ultra fast SSD of the PS5 which clearly isn't utilised on DayZ. I've ordered a PS5 Pro and I whole heartedly believe it'll probably run the exact same. I need some confirmation that they are working on it. Just a tad bit of communication regarding performance issues would be nice. As far as I know bohemia isn't a totalitarian regime incapabale of communicating wih its playerbase.

Was happening on LA 8901 the other week seems it might be the same guys

Server is back up and running! Thank you

Doesn't help when you don't explain the circumstances. I suspect this was on a community server with specific lifetime settings that caused this. Could you enlighten us with more detail? Thank you

Been experiencing this too on Chernarus, Livonia and Sakhal hopefully soon a PS5 version will come out. Just gotta be patient (it’s what I keep telling myself to cope lol)

Yeah I've noticed this too hopefully the patch that just came out will fix it

Happened to me on Sakhal near the volcano too. Definatley an issue.

You need to join the last server you joined. Then leave then join the server you want to join

It hasn't been fixed and is still an issue even on New Gen (PS5) because they don't allow the full use of the PS5 ultra fast loading times and improved graphics unfortunately. This could be a sony issue but plenty of games have had a 'PS5 Patch' without implementing a brand new PS5 version which significantly improved performance. if you scroll down to august you can see my post about PS5 and DayZ.

Servers with custom loadouts when you spawn in have some sort of bug which doesn't allow you to choose 'custom' and if you do it'll just give you one anyway.

If you really are adamant on backpack changes then some more detail would probably be needed to sway the developers minds on keeping the slots as you trying to build a base in a really tall building would not change their minds unfortunately. I play official and yes I build bases, yes it gets raided but thats the game. Official servers are what the developers have in mind when (you guessed it) developing the game! They don't want loot goblins. I do agree that base building does need to be upgraded and the current issues with placing fence kits in certain areas is annoying and it does ruin the game, but you as the player have a responsibility to comprehensively detail your concerns. Although the bags are devastating, it makes the game more challenging and thats what DayZ is about, it's not some game you can kick back and relax to on a friday night. It's a grind and the developers want you to actually think about your actions. Anyways thats just my thoughts, you probably won't agree and thats fine.

In my opinion, yes the backpack changes are devastating but can you fit two logs in a backpack in real life? no. You could make the argument that DayZ is a video game, but I say the developers strive for realism and in real life no one in an apocolypse setting is going to have a full arsenal of everything needed. The developers want you to choose what you need instead of partaking in being a "loot goblin". The developers could potentially push people to make stashes and bases and to that I say that base building needs to be changed for vanilla DayZ. Unfortunately its a double edged sword that slashes both ways for good and bad.

I don't think being a duper is solving anything. Letting the developers know on detailed instructions on how to dupe and the various methods is more helpful. I get your upset and I am too but this isn't the correct approach.
