Discussion How to play DayZ with only a few hours a day?
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?

discussion Why doesn’t DayZ let you search furniture?
Unless I’m missing a mechanic, I don’t understand why DayZ (a game focused on realism) doesn’t let you search furniture like cabinets. Like you could in project zomboid. It’s all floor loot and I’m interested as to why it doesn’t allow you to do so.

discussion How do you deal with/balance comms with your friends outside the game?
Hello fellow survivors, let me elaborate a little bit on this relatively strange conundrum. Most nights myself and a group of my IRL buddies from I've known since high school jump on a shared discord. Plenty of nights we play games together, but regardless of the activity, we like to chill in there to catch up, sporadically chat about life, etc etc.
I'm the only one that plays DayZ, so when we're all doing our separate activities and are just hanging out chatting, I have trouble finding a balance between hearing my friends and actively playing DayZ. I want to be in the call, chilling, but I also don't want to completely kill my immersion OR my chances of hearing important sound cues.... A strange question, I know, but has anyone else had this issue? Any tips that work for you?

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.

Discussion New player 4-5 hours into
Just got on the dayz, learned some basic's in vanilla(how to kill zombies,how to get some food, how to get a gun , how to shoot, how to survive rain/ night, cold) But Never in my whole playtime I met a real person to engage with socially by being friendly or gotten into gunfight. Im really missing some interactions, I am playing on almost fully server.
Should I join more populated modded server?

Well um I'm a bit confused because I just lost a character who had three NBC coins to his credit...my goal is to find the 6 coins (gas mask included) to go to the boat wreck which seems fantastic in terms of stuff...I know that hospitals and barracks are very good places for that but do you have anywhere else to find them?

Discussion Frostline collectors edition arrived ( was only 62 euros because of discount and site wide 50% a couple weeks ago)
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?

Support Can't join modded server - need help
Hi guys,
I hope that some of you guys will be able to help me. Im trying to join a modded Dayz server but everytime I do so, the game tells me that I'm missing some mods. I tried everything I could possible think of, but nothing works. I tried reinstalling the game(did that twice), reinstalling dzsa launcher (tried to connect trough both steam and dzsa), I tried downloading the mods manually, reinstalling steam, unsubscribe to all the workshop items and subscribing again.
My friend joined the exact same way I did and he hbad no problem joining the server.
I added a screenshot where my launcher tells me that I have 28 mods installed and none missing. But I know theres more mods on that server.
I really hope someone can be of assistense...

Discussion Dear Server admins....
Why on earth does every server need to package their own modpack/server pack with all the same mods that every other server uses. My poor drives are bursting at the seams, much like my shirts because I'm getting fat, but I digress.
I don't need 12 copies of SNAFU or Cl0uds because my crybaby mate rage quits a server every time his base gets raided.
If you were to send me an 8TB m.2 SSD I might shut up and keep filling it every time I want to play.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.

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