Heyy Funtimeshint. and austinrayttt344921. I have both those issues. The scope being black does not have a fix atm. Ny advice would be to try to only lay down to find the enemy position and then pop up to ur knees when ready to shoot. As far as the amining glitch you have to aim in third person and then look straight up. Doing that will reset your scope.

Also I noticed that when I switch to another game, sit at the home screen too long , or turn my xbox off without quitting dayz completely I get a lock in database the next time I open dayz. Idk if this is the reason but this is the only thing I could have done that locked me in database.

Yeah man I feel your pain. The last 4 days i've gotten locked out for at least 50 minutes each day. from my experience your best bet is to wait until the server that you first got locked out of goes through a reset. The original server reset takes your character out of the locked state. I got locked in database a minute after the server reset and I had to wait over 1.5 hours yesterday! Keep hanging in there I hope they will get it figured out soon!

My gamer tag is: sf chainsaw I am very new to the game. I recently found a few new players to help teach me the game and show me around the game. It is getting really frustrating because of this lock in database B.S. I keep running into. I have been playing on server number SG 4455. This is the only server I am playing on. I hop off a few times a day because I need them to show me around and help me get me familiar with the map and I get locked in database for at least an hour. My biggest problem is I'm not doing anything that even warrants a locked in database. I'm not duplicating items or server hoping, I'm actually playing the game how it is meant to be played and I'm getting punished. I don't know what to do other than waist time, that I barely have, waiting for my character to get unlocked because it has happened the last 4 days in a row now and its getting hard to stay loyal to a fun game when I cant play the game when I want to play it.
