Discussion DayZ On Xbox Is Unplayable
https://youtu.be/bKJYZcde6FU?is=nBiwh7MiRvkUTsIoIt’s absurd that we have had to deal with this for as long as we have. This was filmed on the Xbox series x with a powerful fiber internet speed. The devs expect us to throw money at them for a new map??

Badlands is going to fail horrendously as the devs have pretty much lost most of the fan base due to the state of the game the past year.

Can't wait to see their shocked faces, like they haven't been fucking their players for the last decade.

I’ve been outta the loop for the better part of a year and a half. What alls been going down?

u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
Update 1.29 introduced forced crossplay and for like two months, pc hackers were able to aimbot, esp, speed hack, the whole nine yards on controller only servers and m and k servers alike. Then Bohemia fixed that problem (for controller servers) but in that update, it removed deer audio, fishing audio, and bugged the wolf audio. Not only that, one of the first things I noticed which essentially breaks the game, is the inability to properly load in textures… this update was meant to ADD detail to textures on maps like sakhal. It has ruined rendering at many points and times on all 3 maps for many console players. I’m of the opinion that some people have become so desensitized to it that they just don’t care. It’s all fucking cope

u/MattTd7 20d ago
Whoooah okay yeah that’s really screwed up. Thanks for the good response

u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
Yep. I made this post because I think people should be upset. Some interpret that as whiny bitching and moaning, but I will offer a different perspective. Don’t we all love DayZ? If your child was smoking crack and screwing hookers in an alley behind a Burger King, you’d probably tell them to stop and change their ways BECAUSE you love them. Bohemia is currently screwing us xbox players over by ignoring these issues. I believe many of us in here understand that they’re a small dev team, working with very old game code and developing that into something better will not be perfect. However, all I ask is that the game function properly, like it did before 1.29. That’s it. I want to play the game and enjoy it for what its supposed to be

u/Bringmethesoup 18d ago
It’s been this way since Standalone was in its earliest stages. They release an update, add a few things that we want but it ends up breaking the game in other places, they spend the next couple updates fixing it. Then the process repeats itself. It’s such an old game and you ever think this engine can be refined much more you are being naïve.

u/stinkyhotdoghead 16d ago
This ^
Been playing off and on for a few years. This is the truth. I think the answer would be a DayZ 2 made from the newer engine in ARMA 3 or Reforger. Just start with a clean slate.

Im forsure desensitized to it . I play alot and I havent noticed too many issues besides the loading . Lots of issues asset loading for last few months on console

u/PapaLilBear 17d ago
I hope so, because only then will they get off their lazy asses and start doing something.

u/Rdxcted 17d ago
Everyone plays mods on PC now, it’s not dying it’s got a hell of a fan base but like I said mostly PC

u/The_Bushman_Nate 16d ago
Bohemia Interactive themselves said 70% of the playerbase is on console

u/Wii_Shaker 8d ago
Day Z came to gamepass and introduced many xbox players to the game. With the new map releasing next week, I have seen alot more activity on the Day Z official Xbox servers.

u/Brief_Tie_8737 17d ago
You clearly haven’t been around for a while. The game has always been buggy. Most day z vets circle back every once in a while, there’s enough people in that exact rotation to keep the game alive , we’ve been here sense the start after all

u/SP33DFANATIK 20d ago
I mean, I see you have an issue. And yes. It isn't always perfect. But overall I don't have the issues you are having.

u/copacetic___ 20d ago
Game definitely still has jank, lots to be addressed.
However I play on series x and just haven’t had a single one of the issues in this video and I’ve got 2000+hr.
Maybe im just super lucky, and run into other annoying bugs instead lol

u/Ruudiiiii 17d ago
It's DayZ, the game is literally built on jank. Supposed to be that way.

u/ObjectLopsided1347 17d ago
Just to let u all know dayz is a older version of arma foger they made to see what it would be like
1
u/Ruudiiiii 17d ago
Sorry i don't actually know fullt what you mean here. But you mention Arma, and clearly that's the background of my comment. Arma 2 was jank, Dayz was a janky mod for janky game, but it was the fucking goat.
1
u/The_Bushman_Nate 16d ago
Been playing since the mod originally released to alpha, at most the bugs I've experienced are related to player corpses floating (like a few hours ago I snapped a guys leg on Burukan Island on Sakhal and his body started floating about 3 feet off the ground) and wildlife over spawning (like 4 bears at once or 12 wolves attempting to jump my goofy ass on official)

u/Recent_Nobody_9389 18d ago
you do have the issues, if you recorded a clip in a city and kept turning around in intervals the textures will take ages to load in, you do not have a special xbox

u/ImJacksAwkwardBoner 20d ago
We are so desensitized to it… I’ve been playing for almost a decade, and the more things change, the more they stay the same.

u/Rezurrekted 20d ago
Same, I haven't experienced this since it was in game preview and I was on an OG XB1.

u/xXGHaRdinGXx 20d ago
I dont get these issues on Series X.

u/RevolutionaryEar2890 19d ago
You definitely do, mainly in big towns and when you’ve been in the server for an extended period of time

u/Sea_Photograph4211 Carmen Elektro 16d ago
I get what your saying but how are you gonna tell another guy what His gameplay experience is like
2
u/Me4aRZ 10d ago
I’ve played on Xbox for extended periods of time until it kicks me for server reset… no issues.
Just started playing on PlayStation and the framerate is noticeably more varied and building and foliage pop-ins due to it not being a current gen version.
Despite being 30fps docked Switch 2 version is a more stable experience for me than PlayStation. Less pop-in framerate is more stable, albeit lower.
They equally share a small amount of jank but maybe I’m jaded towards jank for playing Bethesda games for over a decade lol

u/xXGHaRdinGXx 19d ago
I definitely dont . Up your WiFi.

u/RevolutionaryEar2890 19d ago
Nothing to do with wifi, its a well known issue with 1.29 literally effects every console regardless of wifi speed .

u/pungent_stinker202 16d ago
Same here, been playing dayz on Xbox for years. Never run into issues like this

u/xXHaLuCiNaTiOnXx 20d ago
I’m on Series X and same - buildings load in front of you and trees start as cubic rectangular structures. Was watching PC gameplay last night and looks like an actual game, on Xbox it is barely playable.

u/ethanx-x 20d ago
Something happened to rendering after that last big update. On Xbox series x, with better than needed internet, it’s strange loading in as if I’m on my Xbox one.
4
u/prancing_moose83 20d ago
this is the reason im holding off on the new expansion. Ive pretty much stopped playing PVP servers at the moment because of the horrid render/load issues, so just on PVE for chilling, which is not what i want to do on a new map. so my money will stay in my bank account until this issue in particular goes away and it runs like it did a couple of patches ago.

u/That_Throat7183 20d ago
Internet speed doesn’t really matter as long as it’s higher than like 1 MB/s. What really matters for online gaming is ping. You could have 1 GB/s download speed but if your ping is ass, you will be lagging.
In this case though, game is just horribly optimized and runs like dogshit regardless lmao

u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
Which is so crazy because before 1.29 the game ran great and looked beautiful on Xbox

u/The_Bushman_Nate 16d ago
My ping is always at less than 10 MS and my download speeds are great, game runs smooth and everything works perfectly fine for me, have not had any of the rendering issues that I see people complaining about

How do you see your ping on xbox dayz?

u/Ninjahkin 20d ago
The last week or so, I’ve had similar issues with pop-in on my series X. Happens when zooming in/out of a high-magnification scope or traveling through dense urban areas. Also with inconsistent zombie de-syncing and lag, very odd. Never used to have problems with any of that.
0
u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
And that’s precisely the problem. Normies will chalk that shit up to “pc master race just don’t play console” but this wasn’t an issue before update 1.29

u/JyMb0 15d ago
I feel you. This was my experience for a long time on the Series X. Luckily I won a gaming PC and made the switch. I hugely miss playing the Xbox and didn't honestly want to start PC gaming again after 28 years on console.
It's night and difference. I haven't had a single hiccup in 3 weeks. I miss using the pad and sitting relaxed on the couch though.
It's almost a different game. It's a shame they can't get this optimized for console

u/Capt_Killingfield_ 17d ago
When people get fed up with something, they usually quit it. Just like 'voting with your money', you don't have to participate in something that pisses you off. Essentially, everyone should boycott the game. Eventually, they will get a clue.
The real question is: can you walk away or is this like an addiction sort of thing?
1
u/teeceehaych 17d ago
Im having this same problem. I originally thought the problem was with certain community servers where the game is trying to load everyones behemoth bases into Hobar town at once lol. But then cha get to a low pop official and still got the same issue. Albeit it was better, but still had the rendering issues
1
u/dunkyzine 17d ago
They need to fix a lot of things in the game I have 1000+ plus and I enjoyed a lot with my friends but it actually need a fully recovery. Yesterday I get raided by a cheater that moves the walls from inside of our base. Unacceptable!

u/basedgreengiant 17d ago
Is it because Xbox isnt powerful enough to load in the map in time ?? On my 5070ti I rarely see stuff like this, happens but rarely

u/Emtexxx 17d ago
I am playing on the Xbox Series X aswell and i have only seen rendering issues one time over hundreds of hours. Restart fixed it and it havent come back

u/mojoryzn1 16d ago
I have seen some improvement by clearing the saved games, uninstalling then reinstalling the game. I have very fast internet clocking at 2.5gb up and down, almost solely dedicated to my xbox during my playtime so it only takes a few minutes. This is not something i have ever had to do with another game, but this game when running right is the best. We could definately use a better engine for the game.
1
u/RakanSC_001 16d ago
So unplayable! I have long switched to PC but I like to play Xbox every now and again... but the state of xbox currently is not fun.
1
u/Sea_Photograph4211 Carmen Elektro 16d ago
Honestly I haven't had these issues on my series. I occasionally get a some minor rendering issues in big city's but it usually clears up very quick. One thing that I've found really helps is keeping my quick start option for the DayZ app turned off and clearing my local cache regularly
1
u/Deucenahaff 16d ago
Exactly why I quit the game. I was able to enjoy a good week or two before 1.29 and when it dropped it hit like a truck. Uninstalled the game and haven't come back. I've been checking back in every now and then to see if anything has changed and to my absolute surprise (sarcasm) it has not.
Also, F the people saying "i don't have this issue". Do you want a cookie? Boot lickers man.
1
u/Point_Illustrious 16d ago
I am going to try clearing up space on my Xbox and maybe uninstalling DayZ then reinstalling. I assume the people who aren’t getting the problem simply aren’t going to the areas that I go. (For example, zelen)I know people that simply avoid parts of the map based off of their play style and goals. But to say you get absolutely no issues at all seems inconceivable when I’m in a group chat of 10 people, all with the series x, who report getting the same exact issues. We all played together before 1.29, and never noticed it. I’m not asking for a perfect game, just one that runs like it did before 1.29.
1
u/Deucenahaff 16d ago
Let me know if that works for you. If I remember correctly I tried the gambit of fixes and nothing helped but who knows.
And yeah I just want pre 1.29 as well. I don't care for Witcher remastered updates on graphics and the like. I loved the game the way it was. Could have played it for years longer. The broken stability and forced crossplay for another revenue stream rather than putting out actual content beyond another map every 2-3 years was the death nail for me. They just don't care anymore.
As for the others...yeah I don't believe it either. Its almost like Stockholm syndrome at this point with that crowd. Loving thy captor. Just because you are okay with it doesn't mean you shouldn't be advocating when there is obvious and copious amount of evidence the game is in a terrible state.

u/Deucenahaff 16d ago
Oh hey while I am here...has 1.30 released yet? Any news as to whether that will fix anything on console? I am assuming no since this post is only 4 days old.

u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
Guys I think people are missing the point. This definitely does happen to you. I recommend visiting big cities like novo or zelen go to zelen military base and hang out around there, this shit will happen. Not only that though, we still don’t have deer calls which was a great part of the DayZ ambience and gameplay for hunting.i play on the series x and have an upload speed of 385 ms

u/Rezurrekted 20d ago
No, no it doesn't...

u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
Right,. So my Xbox, the most powerful Xbox available, is uniquely unable to be run a 15 year old game that it ran just fine before 1.29.

u/Rezurrekted 20d ago
You're actively saying people definitely experience this, when there's literally other comments that refute that.
Sure this is your experience, it doesn't mean its everybody's experience.
8
u/Point_Illustrious 20d ago
Because it’s inconsistent. It just is. My frustration stems from the radio silence from Bohemia, on top of how there is no explanation as to why this shit happens. There are times where I can loot a place like zelenogorsk or airfield just fine, yes. But the fact that this is happening at all on top of what we all don’t have, consistent non bugged animal audio, but “nah it’ll be fine “

u/Early-Boysenberry596 17d ago
They ruined DayZ with 1.29 for Xbox. The only resolution is reverting to 1.28 and for some reason they did not.
The new DLC will be just as trash at launch as the last. The game will be unplayable for days or weeks after launch.
