Hello DayZ team,
I run a console community server (PS4/PS5, Nitrado, Badlands/Nasdara, 1.30) and I need to flag several serious issues that are hurting the player experience and driving players away. We would really appreciate a fix or at least an official statement as soon as possible.
1. Vehicles lose fuel and coolant after every restart
After each server restart, ALL vehicles lose their fuel and radiator water. This affects every vehicle on the map and makes cars unusable after every restart (we restart every 2 hours). The server log also shows "No Shutdown message present" at start, so the previous session seems not to be closed cleanly.
2. Base building with the new "rebuild" houses
Building on the new rebuild houses is unreliable. Placement is possible only in some spots, entire fences cannot be built, and some parts can only be built in some places. Players lose materials and time.
3. Frequent game crashes and fresh spawns
Players report frequent game crashes. Several players were also respawned as a fresh character ("freshie") after reconnecting, losing their gear.
4. Server settings files get reset
Several times, some of our server configuration files were reset to defaults without any action on our side. This breaks economy and gameplay settings and costs us a lot of time to re-check.
5. Other issues
There are many smaller problems as well (log warnings about missing configs/geometry on Badlands objects, vehicle event respawn failures, etc.). I can provide logs and details on request.
These problems make the server hard to run and players are leaving because of them. Please prioritise a patch, and let us know if you need logs (RPT), config files or reproduction steps. We are happy to help with testing.
Thank you,
admin of LAST STAND DayZ
