So it seems it's only certain servers. I continued to change servers (even with the ridiculous 10-minute wait) and found one so far that it's not like this. So maybe it's server side issues.

It was the exact same server at the same time and we had two entirely different views.

Also Maxe, my brother has Dayz and we checked on his, completely different. His looks like night should, while mine is entirely black. That SS is with max Gamma and Brightness as well.

Was wondering when someone would notice that. There is a side door though. So not too much of a nuisance.

Take some screenshots maybe?

Being one hundred percent serious. Zombies are hardly a problem aside from their lagging attacks and glitching through walls. Cleaning up that will be more than enough to ensure that the spawn rate will only be a matter of how you handle yourself. Though the spawns that are right on top of you could be tweaked as well.

When you shoot you "attract" more zombies, thus if you fire you'll get swarmed, at least that is what I've been lead to believe. Just use an ax to kill singles or two while circling around (Which I've found to be easiest and safest).

Will the others not have the same problem then? You could also bob and weave between the zombles for cover too, think outside the box mang.
