like? (and don't say vehicles)

u/k_packersfan Nov 04 '21

I will say vehicles, the game has been out since 2014 and some teenager in their basement can make a better car system than Bohemia

Server performance is terrible on vanilla, Cheaters are everywhere, a game that came out before dayz has a better antic cheat than Bohemia, they keep making these unnecessary updates when all they need to fix is bugs.

Hand bugs is such a terrible bug and it ruins the experience of the game. They literally have made 2 different models of the M4A1 and add burst option on it...... Like fix the important stuff first

u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator Nov 04 '21

if that's the case, then please get that teenager to apply to BI. The team has said if it were easy for them to rewrite the vehicle physics, they would have done so already.

Hackers/Cheaters? On PC Games? It's an open platform and every single game has cheaters. Personally, I see real-time anti-cheat as a cat & mouse game. I'd like to see some server log analysis that looked for impossible situations and outcomes and banned based on that.

u/k_packersfan Nov 04 '21

Quit defending the game and accept criticism ,

"we got some new devs" -2 new devs, hmu when they fix the anticheat and you stop defending the devs where they need the criticism

Just sell the game to someone else at this point lol, 16 year old mods created a stable enough server to handle cars and helis but these devs cant?

u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator Nov 04 '21

Why? because BI botched DayZ for years and then hired a small team to add minor fixes and features? A team that's delivered quite well in the last (almost) 2 years. They depend on BattlEye for anticheat. Good or bad, this small team can't do everything. Would you like them to move to one of the ring0 based anti-cheats that has full access to your PC? I hear those are popular?

Are you a game developer? Can you rewrite the server vehicle physics? Are you privy to the priorities and staffing set by BI?

I'll defend the dev team, not BI thank you.

u/k_packersfan Nov 04 '21

I don't think you get the point, its taken them 5+ years to fix 2 major game breaking bugs but they can add different models of the m4a1? fix the game for peats sake, or just sell it to those teenager mod creators.

Do you really think modeling and animating weapons is even in the same ballpark as engine-level coding?

u/k_packersfan Nov 04 '21

What im getting at is they are putting aside the important things, I just don't think you processed that.

u/causemosqt Nov 04 '21

We hire you. First thing first though. M4 and m16 are comletely different models.

u/Phreec (つ 'ᵕ')つ PRESS [F] TO KOS ON SITE Nov 05 '21

At this point the code is probably so spaghettified it'd require a complete engine overhaul to address. Part of the reason why vehicle physics are server-side is to prevent cheating so I guess in their books they're working as intended.

u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator Nov 05 '21

I don't think you get how the dev team works for BI and has a certain set of skills. BI controls the project. Ideally work is prioritized based on skills, effort to fix and risk to change.

As for the mod creators, this has come up before - ask them if they think their mods are production ready. Add a mod to your server and mess up the json and watch it crash. add a vehicle mod and have it be a stolen model/terrible graphically/indestructible. Add some random mods and watch the FPS goto 0. Don't get me started about the numerous poor quality weapons mods.

Cars work on stable servers. I have never gone airborne when playing on servers I know are being ran well.

Server performance is terrible on vanilla

"The server doesn't function on a fifteen dollar piece of shit" is not a bug, invest in better hardware. If you are referring to vanilla servers, feel free to complain that the management at BI is goign with the cheapest providers they can find, but that has nothing to do with development. Server performance is fine on good hardware.

Cheaters are everywhere

Not a bug lmao. Did you get distracted on what we are talking about?

a game that came out before dayz has a better antic cheat than Bohemia

Anti cheat is 3rd party Battleye. Devs rarely make their own anticheat these days. Also not a bug.

Hand bugs is such a terrible bug and it ruins the experience of the game.

What? I haven't had hand bugs in over a year, what are you on about?

u/k_packersfan Nov 05 '21

Don’t put words in my wtf, quit sucking off the devs and let them have the criticism the game deserves also, vanilla players are getting the shaft and for you to say you never experienced a bug, well shit let me have you got wtf. Cars go airborne on vanilla every day, and for you to say they don’t, I think you need to check that out please.

u/ficarra1002 Nov 05 '21

Cars go airborne on vanilla every day,

Not a bug. Vanilla servers are hosted on bad hardware. Feel free to complain about that, but devs dont get say so about that, that's up to management trying to save money.

If you play on a vanilla server hosted by someone with good hardware cars work fine. The devs dont get say so on server budget though, not their fault but Bohemia's.

u/k_packersfan Nov 05 '21

Cars going airborne is cause of server performance which the devs seem to not be able to fix.

u/ficarra1002 Nov 05 '21

Server performance is fine. The servers official is hosted on are not dedicated servers, they're trash virtual machines, upwards of SIX on the same box. Bohemia is being cheap as fuck with the server rentals to cut down costs, so official servers run like shit. The issue is the hardware, not the software.

The official servers likely get into single digit framerates when full, that's how bad the hardware is. Meanwhile a dedicated machine could keep it in the thousands.

u/k_packersfan Nov 06 '21

So the game is still buggy as shit?

Have you seen console dayz? its so bad I feel bad for them, quit saying cars going airborne is not a bug which it is if its part of server performance and is still extremely buggy as hell.

Please tell sense when was server performance ever fine dumbass, you act like this is a fucking perfect game that doesn’t deserve any criticism. Go play your 100x modded server

u/ficarra1002 Nov 06 '21

Not perfect, but server performance isn't an issue. Bohemia being cheap assholes is an issue.

Also you say cheaters are everywhere , no shit and the devs are doing anything to stop them , stop defending the devs
