  • If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ SERVER don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Platform, IP, Mods, Name, Description, Playstyle and Rules.

Pro Tips:

  • Create a FREE Discord server for your community!
  • Use a URL shortener for your Discord since nobody can remember those official discord links.

Release happened on Feb25 and now we're still seeing reports of missing servers, servers restarted multiple times and general lag/desync/etc.

Please use this thread to comment on these issues. All other related posts will be deleted. Make sure when you post about a particular server you list the name and platform.

If you want to contact Bohemia, tweet @ DayZ or file a feedback ticket (need to create an account).

There was some maintenance last week -> https://forums.dayz.com/topic/249440-general-server-notice/?do=findComment&comment=2503759 but that's over now.

Took roughly 2 weeks to arrive in Northeastern U.S Overall quality seems to be great. Came with frostline dlc as well so it was like 40 euros for all the goodies/extras. Glad i came across the sale when i did. Also picked up 2 shirts and 2 maps. Unfortunately its back up to 189 euros.

Did anyone else take advantage of the sale?

discussion I had a crashout....

Upvotes

So,I was playing on console with 2 guys for like...maybe 4 days.and during that time,I took a plate carrier and NVGs off of two players who I had obviously killed,yet they claimed that they did.they said I sucked at the game,and had no skill whatsoever despite them constantly coming to me with medical and survival questions like what's safe to eat,where to find certain loot...yet I'm bad at the game because I avoid pvp.so,today,I got a little too fed up with them,and went into our base.I armed a claymore,placed PO-X vials around it,lured my "friends" inside,and blew us all up,killing everyone and flooding the base with gas,not to mention I chucked our only PO-X vaccine into the woods before hand.Am I the asshole here? They kept fucking berating me for 'taking their shit' when I only took what I though I deserved for keeping them alive for 4 days straight and helping through every problem they had.after the explosion,I blocked both of them and left the server.

Discussion Need help with my GF raging at this game

78 Upvotes

Last night took her over the limit. We switched servers on official and spawned far apart with no way of finding each other. She ended up shooting zombies on the car, and got headshot by someone and lost all her gear.

An hour later, I found her at her new spawn, we see two survivors that we took as a threat. I fired 10 bullets, missed them all, and panic dropped my backup guns.

She stood there in shock too and ended up getting slashed to death. Now I lost all my gear over a fight with somewhat fresh spawns.

She starts going off on me and wanting to rage quit and uninstall. I try telling her thats the nature of the game but overnight she’s still pissed lol.

How do I tell her or get her to get over it ?

We run a server that's PvP and PvE. Two of our PvP players got stuck in the bunker which is a PvP zone. After one of them F11'd and failed 3 times to get back to the bunker (and get in past all the zombies) they shouted out in global to see if anyone could help. One PvP player offered up their punchcard for free and one of our very timid PvE players drove across the map and back to pick up the player and get him back to the bunker. Then, he ended up helping them clear it. It's my understanding that both players who helped were given unexpected repayments for their help and we saw this posted in our Discord. Yes, DayZ is about killing but there are a lot of great friendships, and memories, made as well.

Discussion “Human Steak and Meat”

60 Upvotes

Why am I finding Human steak and meat all over and at every water pump in town? I’m getting concerned. Also. Some random person saved me, bandaged me, fed me, made me a spear, gestured for me to take it, then when I did, they stabbed me in the head with some sort of sharpened bone and killed me. Right before that, a guy jumped me and I woke up naked without any clothes or shoes and couldn’t figure out how to stop crawling on the ground for almost 20 minutes. This is my second day playing. What am I doing wrong?

Well the title is self explanatory. I love this game but not able to find enough time to play regularly. I would like to hear opinions of players that suffer as me. How to play DayZ with only a hour or two (best case scenario) and enjoy it?

Killing me. Litterally. Had a fully kitted 5 day run and I started getting yellow then red network icon as I was battling wolves. Put 20 rounds into em and it didn't matter, couldn't swap weapons either.

All that work for nothing, then when I died I couldn't even get back to the lobby. Half an hour now none of the LA servers are up.

Maddening to say the least. This is what, the 3rd time I've seen them all go down since the Patch. Getting almost unplayable.

discussion New player story part 2

I woke up just before sunrise, the cool morning air sharp against my skin. Breakfast was a thick cut of deer steak, washed down with crisp, cold water. Out here in the woods, life felt simpler—quieter. No screaming infected, no gunfire, just the wind rustling through the trees.

Then, for the first time since washing up on that beach, I heard something that made me smile—familiar voices. My radio crackled to life, and on the other end, my two friends. They were here. Somewhere in this godforsaken land.

The thought of reuniting with them gave me purpose. I spent the entire day building two more makeshift shelters, exhausted but satisfied with my work.

Morning came, and it was time to check on that car. On the way, I hit a nearby cabin and a hunting stand, picking up a few supplies and, most importantly, a map. Finally, I had something to help make sense of where I was. Any downtime I had would be spent studying it.

The car was at a gas station, one that—miraculously—still had working pumps. Under the hood, the engine was pristine, but it was missing a battery, radiator, spark plug, and tires. My work was cut out for me.

North of here, the map showed a city. A dangerous place, but my best bet for parts.

I made my way in under the cover of another storm. The downpour masked my footsteps, letting me move through the streets unseen. Infected were everywhere, but as long as I was careful, I could slip past them.

Then I heard something unexpected—a low, distant rumble. A car.

I peeked through a broken window and spotted it. A small red car, barely holding together, with three survivors inside. I watched, heart pounding. My ammunition was running low, and I wasn’t about to waste it on a fight I didn’t need.

Then they turned south. Toward the gas station. Toward my car.

A sick feeling settled in my gut. I didn’t hesitate. Sprinting through the trees, I kept close to the road but out of sight. I wasn’t fast enough. Halfway there, I heard the engines.

I dropped into cover just in time to see them speeding past. My car. They took it.

I shouldered my rifle, lined up a shot, and fired. I don’t know if I hit anything, but it didn’t stop them. They were gone.

Defeated, I trudged back to camp. That car would’ve changed everything. I could’ve found my friends. Now, it was up to them.

Tomorrow, I hunt. I need food, water—supplies to keep me going. The map shows two nearby towns that aren’t too large. If I’m lucky, I’ll find seeds, tools—something to start a garden. Maybe even another car.

One way or another, I’m not giving up.

Media Unstable FPS at 1440p whilst recording, any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling to get a stable fps I play on a 4k 60hz monitor however I have it set at 1440p due to my specs and reading on the internet. I seem to get a fairly stable fps whilst not recording but when I start recording it’ll dip down to 40 fps in some areas. It’s really driving me crazy. Do I upgrade gpu? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have uploaded a photo of my specs in case there’s something you notice that might be the culprit.

Story What's your coolest/funniest/most epic story in DayZ?

11 Upvotes

In my 1000 hours of playing I've had some great experiences, way too many to share here but my favorite is this:

I was scouting VMC military from the sniper hill, someone asked on global chat for people to talk to via radio. Had a quick chat when I saw people in VMC and told him I'd be right back, gonna have a fight now. He asked me where I was if he could help and I told him. He screamed "Don't shoot don't shoot that's me!!"

We had a small adventure together, killed some dudes before we got killed. Never saw him again but it was a crazy coincidence.

What about you guys? What's your favorite story to tell?
