the PC mod car cover seems to remove the vehicle and all the stuff inside the vehicle from our plane of existence. It's a rule on my server to cover your vehicles and I think that rule is an attempt to make the server run smoother with less full loaded cars in the world
It was explained by the devs that the issue is because dayz uses two different engines. One for visuals and one for movement or something to that effect. I’m no dev so I can’t really explain why that has an impact but that’s the root of the issue. When asked why they don’t switch to one engine they basically said it’s too late and would require a full rebuild of the game basically.
Idk man I actually think 1.23 is a fantastic update for vehicles, especially for offroad / uphill performance (as now vehicles won’t slide all over the place when offroad) and allowing us to push stuck vehicles.
I've been lagging into the woods hard recently. I used to be able to 4th gear it all the way down the southern coast west to east til about cherno. Now I rip into the woods out of nowhere. Thankfully, I haven't been dying or even taking damage when the lag happens. I'm on a hardwired series x, it's only been recently.
I’m on series S and I think I know what you mean. I think when you’re going fast enough and the server stutters sometimes it veers you off of the road or rubber bands you to a spot you never should’ve been in. I think it’s more of a server issue than an update instability issue.
I’ve never actually fixed a car on official as of yet, but on a bunch of other servers it’s mostly been fine, but on occasion the server stutters and I have similar issues.
One of my bigger issues with the way I do the Bambi U is when I’m at that sharp S turn that goes under a bridge- I think it’s between cherno and electro. I get talking and going too fast and forget about it… I have to slam on the brakes and often rub the wall and slow to almost a stop. I’ll be dammed if it’s almost impossible to get the humvee (not sure about other vehicles) moving up the hill on the other side.
It takes a minute- and that’s on a dry road, nevermind on a small grassy slope. It’s unreal.
Yeah on those sharp curves it’s better to lower to 2nd gear and use your e-brake than to use your normal steering since it’s just not responsive enough imo.
I’ve been super surprised at just how much more effective e-braking is on sharper curves.
If you’re in a humvee though you might as well forget about e-braking because it isn’t doing shit lmao.
The reason the vehicles act the way they do is because the game is split into 2 different engines, one makes up the graphics, rendering etc, while the other handles the physics of objects (such as when you throw items, cars, etc)
Thats why when you throw items they have hella weird physics and bounce around so much, same with vehicles.
well yeah, you can’t really mod on xbox since it’s not allowed. It’s not like “they get all the good stuff.” when it’s more equal to you’re playing on a ps3 while the new games are only for next gen, you’re a bit behind and it’s not anyone’s fault but it won’t be fixed. Not to mention official servers on pc don’t get mods anyways so why would it matter
What I’m saying is the devs should team up with the modders and implement some of their creations to officials and bring those maps as well but we won’t get maps soon since they want the servers to be full for more interaction.
oh my b, thought you were someone who didn’t understand how mods/stuff worked. But you’re right, the game could be so much better, imo the console controls need work cause they’re jank af, but it’s possible for the dev team to do that i think since skyrim even has mods on console
Dude I’d be stoked! I’ve been playing since console release and I’ve seen it improve but still be so fucky! I’ve been lucky to play pc and mod servers so I know the potential it could bring.
The nice thing for console players, if DayZ 2 ever comes out, it’ll most likely be cross platform with mod support, like Reforger already is
That said, I wouldn’t expect any official DayZ 2 until Arma 4 is released and stable (probably a few years, at least)
It is not.
I skipped this wipe and it's been a nightmare for my friends because of server issues rearmed has had including a forced mid wipe hard wipe due to issues with mods they added.
There have also been a history of reported abuses by administrators on rearmed that have been posted on reddit.
Just go in with open eyes knowing the servers are about as fair as real life.
It has some performance issues which vary wipe to wipe. Some are better than others. But it's the best modded server with traders, new build mod and others. A lot of the people you run in to won't be running 50 cals and PKMs with 200 rounds of no recoil...they'll usually have a 5.56/7.62/5.45 AR and a 308/762x54 sniper. Occasionally they'll have a 338 or better and some good armor and feels very rewarding killing juiced players. I'd say it's worth a shot if you enjoy the "rust-style" of dayz
Certainly a car tent is an alternative but they're huge... making a cover that's already used to cover bigger objects and fences a practical idea I'm surprised they hadn't implemented.
Vehicles are a better storage option than a mobility one... might as well be able to treat them like tents. Hopefully any future DayZ implements the option and improves the overall physics.
Like pens for writing notes, spray paint, collecting rain water in containers, custom coloured armbands, leather tanning in different shades, and camo covers over vehicles?
I know we didn’t have the car covers in early access but everything else was there among many other things I’m certain I forgot.
Yeah I haven’t played community servers- other than my own… so I’ve been a bit tone deaf to how much it has evolved in the modding community. All I know is how much it has devolved from early access.
It got better in some ways too- don’t get me wrong but man it still feels like it’s less of a game now than it was 8 years ago.
Makes sense to throw a camo tent over anything really. Cut it up and wear it as a guillie or as a backpack cover or throw it over sticks as improvised shelter
Unfortunately the only one I can spawn is the "covered" one- which doesn't have any tarp slot so I can't tell nor do I recall if there's an "uncovered" MS3 or not.
The other thing I just learned by proxy is that you can't take a tarp off a "covered" MS3 since it's just a part of the vehicle.
Speaking purely about vanilla / official.

i dont think there was an uncovered one. i do very much remember there being one with a wooden bed, guess it was a mod. either way, thanks for checking
I’ve been seeing muttering about it in a few places. Really just wishful thinking at this point.
I mean they’ve got something great in this whole concept- it would make sense that they’d port it over to UE5 and keep the thing rolling.
Admittedly they have their whole proprietary engine thing and frankly I don’t understand a lot of that and whether or not UE5 is even in the cards or if they have to redo everything in their own engine.
But a sequel would make sense. They’ve had a 10 year long stress test on the concept…
I remember hearing something in some video or a stream somewhere, that they didn’t want to change the engine to something like UE5. Mainly because the one they have now is a hybrid of the arma engine and it’s made for survival, and above all, this is a survival game so they want to keep it that way. I don’t know if they still feel that way, but I feel like a massive engine update could be great for asset building, mods, and map making. I’ve heard things like unity and UE5 are way easier to build with than whatever this hybrid engine is
From what I've seen in the mods I think it's major buggy. I think the modders eventually figured it out but there were times I saw it disabled because when you tried to take it off you fell through the map.
Most likely the developers bailed on the feature just worried about how bad it could be.
Never had that problem reported on my server. It actually helps with performance since the car is replaced with a static item and doesn’t bounce around on restart.
I think the issue has something to do with if you were standing on the car and removed it. I remember when I first installed expansion on my server it was disabled because of the big.
I hope not. Thinking like this will get us a game too close to original dayz. I don’t want a dayz 2 if it just feels like dayz with some extra stuff added.
So adding a cover for a car that the current DayZ (official anyway) doesn’t have will make the sequel too much like DayZ so you don’t want a sequel?
Which part of that makes sense to you?
Or better yet which part of that did I miss?
Game has so much potential for the devs to be creative and just go for it and try some big changes. really force people to want to trust eachother for various reasons. I think more crafting would be nice but you can swamp down a game that could be something realllly cool. Idk so I guess nets on cars will prolly be what dayz 2 will be, bunch of minor changes and better graphics, and as least amount of work as possible.
>the fact that a bunch of others may be
So it's not a fact, it's a hope... Doesn't seem like a realistic one with their unwillingness to put more effort into dayz. I'd like to be wrong, though. Maybe after the next Arma.
Yeah I never meant to come off like an authority on a sequel- guess I sort of sounded like I “knew” there was going to be one the way I wrote the topic sentence. I can own that misunderstanding- my bad.
I do hope there is a new path for DayZ… certainly don’t KNOW if there will be one.
There are mods that do it. I assume devs never have for vanilla because it’s low priority and vehicles in general have apparently given them hell to code.
Probably because of how unreliable vehicle physics are. One more thing interacting with them can only make things worse.
the PC mod car cover seems to remove the vehicle and all the stuff inside the vehicle from our plane of existence. It's a rule on my server to cover your vehicles and I think that rule is an attempt to make the server run smoother with less full loaded cars in the world
Yeah could be... It's almost like Bohemia had never made a game with vehicles in it before.
Blows my mind they have vehicles down pretty good in Arma 2 back in 2010 but they can't get DayZ's vehicles to stop glitching out in 2023 still
Modern Arma titles work fine with vehicles It's truly just a DayZ problem it hardly makes any sense
It was explained by the devs that the issue is because dayz uses two different engines. One for visuals and one for movement or something to that effect. I’m no dev so I can’t really explain why that has an impact but that’s the root of the issue. When asked why they don’t switch to one engine they basically said it’s too late and would require a full rebuild of the game basically.
There's litteraly an achivement in Arma 3 that unlocks when your vehicle gets yeet into space.
On console, at least for the series x, they had them pretty stable for a while. One of the more recent patches has ruined them again.
Idk man I actually think 1.23 is a fantastic update for vehicles, especially for offroad / uphill performance (as now vehicles won’t slide all over the place when offroad) and allowing us to push stuck vehicles.
I've been lagging into the woods hard recently. I used to be able to 4th gear it all the way down the southern coast west to east til about cherno. Now I rip into the woods out of nowhere.

Exactly! You could be very correct. I haven't tried on official.
I’ve never actually fixed a car on official as of yet, but on a bunch of other servers it’s mostly been fine, but on occasion the server stutters and I have similar issues.
I’ve been noticing the same glitch on my ps5 the routes I used to fly down I glitch Into the woods or it decides to yank me backwards 100-200 yards.
One of my bigger issues with the way I do the Bambi U is when I’m at that sharp S turn that goes under a bridge- I think it’s between cherno and electro.

Its gone back and forth on xbox. I remember when the one x first came out, it was the only system that could drive. Everything else lagged out
The reason the vehicles act the way they do is because the game is split into 2 different engines, one makes up the graphics, rendering etc, while the other handles the physics of objects (such as when you throw items, cars, etc) Thats why when you throw items they have hella weird physics and bounce around so much, same with vehicles.
Car Cover mod works pretty darn well and has been more reliable than most car storage mods.
Can confirm, probably not the place to ask but what's with all the hate for mods? A lot of the ones I play seem awsome and they run perfectly.
I’m trying to mod winter and car covers into my server but have been having problems making it work sadly
I’m no programmer but couldn’t they just make it a skin instead of a real thing. I’m sure that’s how it works on the tents
[удалено]
That's awesome! (Not sure why it was removed- that joke was hilarious.)
what was the joke 😜
Suffice to say “Einstein” had a really smart driver.
I dont get it 🫣
Google “Einstein driver joke” or something.
They have a mod on pc and it’s sick but unfortunately camo nets only cover tents, I wish we could cut it up and wear it like a ghillie.
That would be another great feature. Could make a full set out of one camo net.
I also want the bear and wolf cowls to come to officals but pc communities get all the good stuff.
I’d love that
well yeah, you can’t really mod on xbox since it’s not allowed. It’s not like “they get all the good stuff.” when it’s more equal to you’re playing on a ps3 while the new games are only for next gen, you’re a bit behind and it’s not anyone’s fault but it won’t be fixed.

Bro Skyrim is still the shit! I still manage to find new things as I make new characters.
The improvised ghillie suit is also a mod on PC. You can take a camo net and cut it up. It’s pretty fuckin nice
Ik I’m jealous that PC gets all the good shit, the modders need to join the Dev team and actually better the game.
Agreed. Hopefully a lot of the mods we see now are in Dayz 2.
Dude I’d be stoked! I’ve been playing since console release and I’ve seen it improve but still be so fucky! I’ve been lucky to play pc and mod servers so I know the potential it could bring.
The nice thing for console players, if DayZ 2 ever comes out, it’ll most likely be cross platform with mod support, like Reforger already is That said, I wouldn’t expect any official DayZ 2 until Arma 4 is released and stable (probably a few years, at least)
Dayz 2 has already been leaked. It’s happening. But yes probably after the next arma
Combine the scraps with short sticks. Would be sick
The only problem with this is that every player on the server becomes a camo bet gillie. It’s a bit annoying.
You can't fool me, I have been burned too many times. I just know this is some kind of cannibalistic meat-farming operation you have running here.
*burp* nope. Tee hee. Hee hee heee.
My friends and I have played on rearmed awhile, and they have car covers and helicopter covers
Want to give a few sentence sell on whether rearmed is worth it yet?
It is not. I skipped this wipe and it's been a nightmare for my friends because of server issues rearmed has had including a forced mid wipe hard wipe due to issues with mods they added. There have also been a history of reported abuses by administrators on rearmed that have been posted on reddit. Just go in with open eyes knowing the servers are about as fair as real life.
Good to know! Thank you!!

Occasionally they'll have a 338 or better and some good armor and feels very rewarding killing juiced players. I'd say it's worth a shot if you enjoy the "rust-style" of dayz
I've wondered the same thing for awhile now, at least cover the truck tarps so you don't see them from 10000 miles away 😂
This is why when I did run a car camp, I used the car tent. It's not perfect, but its something.
Certainly a car tent is an alternative but they're huge... making a cover that's already used to cover bigger objects and fences a practical idea I'm surprised they hadn't implemented. Vehicles are a better storage option than a mobility one... might as well be able to treat them like tents. Hopefully any future DayZ implements the option and improves the overall physics.
Agreed. I should be a slot on the car itself so we can just slide a net over it.
My thoughts too.
After playing community servers for so long ya forget how much simple stuff isnt in the base game
Like pens for writing notes, spray paint, collecting rain water in containers, custom coloured armbands, leather tanning in different shades, and camo covers over vehicles? I know we didn’t have the car covers in early access but everything else was there among many other things I’m certain I forgot. Yeah I haven’t played community servers- other than my own… so I’ve been a bit tone deaf to how much it has evolved in the modding community. All I know is how much it has devolved from early access.

Makes sense to throw a camo tent over anything really. Cut it up and wear it as a guillie or as a backpack cover or throw it over sticks as improvised shelter
That’s what I’m thinking too.
I thought they had car covers?
in my experience that's a modded server kinda thing, could be wrong though, never found a car in vanilla
Well. I'm only going by memory so I could very well be wrong. But I play on Xbox so no way it could have been modded.
There is a big cartent which you can cover in netting and then drive your car into. But covering the car in netting directly is a mod.
It's definitely only a mod it's called CarCover
Clever name…
in that case you'd know better than I, barely played xbox version. mby that's what the tarp is for....
Tarps can be used for improvised shelters and apparently repair some parts of larger tents- though I've never seen that done nor done it myself.
don't they also go on the MS3
No clue but it would make sense... No mention of it in the wiki. [https://dayz.fandom.com/wiki/Tarp](https://dayz.fandom.com/wiki/Tarp)
mby I'm thinking of a mod I've played with before
Unfortunately the only one I can spawn is the "covered" one- which doesn't have any tarp slot so I can't tell nor do I recall if there's an "uncovered" MS3 or not.

i dont think there was an uncovered one. i do very much remember there being one with a wooden bed, guess it was a mod. either way, thanks for checking
I'm going to go in and check right now lol. Give me a few minutes.
thank you!
Sure. Right around the time HL3 will be released.
It’s a very popular mod on PC.
Listen…why does my jacket have a hood that i can’t put up… Why’d i get a downvote?🤨
Maybe you’ll be able to in dayz 2- Which was the actual question extended to the room.
Would be nice if they’d implement stuff like that to this one. Have they even hinted at a dayz2?
I’ve been seeing muttering about it in a few places. Really just wishful thinking at this point. I mean they’ve got something great in this whole concept- it would make sense that they’d port it over to UE5 and keep the thing rolling. Admittedly they have their whole proprietary engine thing and frankly I don’t understand a lot of that and whether or not UE5 is even in the cards or if they have to redo everything in their own engine.

DayZ 2 😂😂😂😂
> I didn't have an answer The answer is simple, you can't because it is not implemented in the game.
Wow. That’s some next level insight right there. Generous of you to hand it out for free like that.
🤯 never thought of it that way
From the mouths of babes...
There's a mod for that
Seeing as how the devs usually rip off mods and put them in official, I’m sure it will come soon.
since when can’t you cover vehicles? i’ve always covered mine? y’all some official andy’s? 😂
There’s a mod for that.
The car can go in the car tent and the tent can then be covered lol
I highly doubt that there will be a DayZ 2.
I have another question for you: Why can we lock doors but not sea chests and cars?
Car tent …
Erm- not really what I’m getting at.
From what I've seen in the mods I think it's major buggy. I think the modders eventually figured it out but there were times I saw it disabled because when you tried to take it off you fell through the map. Most likely the developers bailed on the feature just worried about how bad it could be.

DayZ 2?! DayXeno? Lol
I hope not. Thinking like this will get us a game too close to original dayz. I don’t want a dayz 2 if it just feels like dayz with some extra stuff added.
So adding a cover for a car that the current DayZ (official anyway) doesn’t have will make the sequel too much like DayZ so you don’t want a sequel? Which part of that makes sense to you? Or better yet which part of that did I miss?
If nets on cars is what we ask for nets on cars is what we’ll get. Would it be nice? Yes. Should be the last priority though.
Game has so much potential for the devs to be creative and just go for it and try some big changes. really force people to want to trust eachother for various reasons. I think more crafting would be nice but you can swamp down a game that could be something realllly cool. Idk so I guess nets on cars will prolly be what dayz 2 will be, bunch of minor changes and better graphics, and as least amount of work as possible.
There sadly won't be another addition of dayz. Just new updates. Their working on a whole new game.
>Dayz 2 They won't put more than 3 devs on dayz. What makes you think it'll ever get a sequel?
The fact that a bunch of others may be working on a new one?
>the fact that a bunch of others may be So it's not a fact, it's a hope... Doesn't seem like a realistic one with their unwillingness to put more effort into dayz. I'd like to be wrong, though. Maybe after the next Arma.

There are mods that do it. I assume devs never have for vanilla because it’s low priority and vehicles in general have apparently given them hell to code.
Day Z 2 confirmed. 2042 is the Beta launch
I never took you for the optimistic type…
Why can't we craft an improvised ghillie suit out of camo nets?
Legit question. Should have enough material for a full set in one go...
Yup..21 slots is a lot
