I have been playing DayZ on official servers (both 1PP and 3PP) on PS5 for a long time, with over 1,000 hours of gameplay.
Since the introduction of the new weapons, before the release of the Nasdara map, I have been experiencing a serious issue where bullets sometimes fail to register damage against enemy players and infected.
When firing weapons such as pistols, shotguns, and assault rifles (including the AK), it feels as though I am shooting blank rounds. Other players, including my teammates and enemies, can hear my gunshots, but my bullets appear to have no effect on their targets.
Additionally, the game sometimes freezes when my character dies or when I attempt to leave the server, forcing me to close the application manually.
I initially suspected that the issue might be related to my internet connection, the server, or specific weapons. However, the problem has occurred repeatedly across different official servers and with multiple weapons.
This issue has caused me to lose numerous encounters and significantly affects my gameplay experience.
I would appreciate it if the development team could investigate this issue, as it makes the game extremely frustrating to play.
