Dayz SA Mosin Long Range Scope Parkinsons Shaking
hello, first and foremost, let me get this out of the way. im not talking at all about bullet trajectory, bullet accuracy while looking in the scope as far as crosshairs, nor am i talking about the condition of the scope as these factors have no effect what so ever for what were talking about here. also please spare the ignorant comments relating to realism and marksmanship IRL, as again, were talking about a video game. as well i fully understand the game is still in alpha, and despite many character wipes this is still my favorite game to play on my pc and I fully support the Devs with everything they do, dating back to the mod. next, please don't insult my intelligence by talking about skill of sniping, i'm not the clocktower sniper from saving private ryan, but i do have 170 hours on the mod and 200 hours on standalone of mainly sniping, with an without clans and friends, so I know what im doing behind the scope of a rifle.
all of that off my chest lets get down to business, from what i have gathered this issue has dated back to patch 0.46 and has yet to be fixed evidently in 0.52. now i have read many remedies for this issue, all of which have failed. ill detail my attempts to fix this below:

1. Made sure health and condition status was not a factor( bright green energized, hydrated, and healthy)
2. sat prone for ten minutes not having my hand on the mouse at all to ensure stillness of character.
3. used morphine, crafted and used splint, as well as painkillers.
4. sat next to a fire for 15 minutes while several "im warming up" messages were displayed
5. disassembled and reassembled the attachments of the rifle while testing firing and sway in between.
6. logged in/out several times while also exiting dayZ completely.
7. switched weapons from magnum to mosin and vice versa to observe shakiness

now i may have tried more things but this is just what comes to mind at the moment. this is something that needs to be brought up the the devs because it has made sniping obsolete unless you already have parkinsons to counter the effect. please any and all help is appreciated as there seems to be no was to fix this problem. thank you for reading this far and for honoring my requests to keep the discussion of this topic specific and not childish as were not here to measure private parts, were here to make this already amazing game even better!

I know exactly what you're talking about and nothing else fixes it apart from sitting next to a fire I promise you...

Mark my words... make a fire.. sit next to it for 15-30 mins.. yes I know its stupid but just do it.

If you sit next to it for 30 minutes the problem will go away I promise you.. its a bad bug in the game where you are cold/shaking yet it doesn't tell you.. I get it all the time Its because because we were all moaning about getting too hot where as now since update it has gone the other way.

It wont tell you you're cold/shaking at all but it will do it. Sit next to a fire for 30 mins... join an empty server if you have to.. go do something to pass the time and when you come back the shaking will be gone( assuming you're close enough to the fire)

This does help and it will fix it. Nobody else need comment.

SIDE NOTE:- You'll dry quicker if you 'wring out' your clothes...

thank you guys for your help! this is seemingly a reoccurring issue that needs to be addressed, and admittedly i got impatient after i sat by the fire for what seemed like hours lol. as far as the guide goes goku i did look that over previously as well i had just figured my time spent by the fire was good enough, although i thank you for your help. I will try again later tonight when the server pops die down a bit as i am fully geared and don't want to be snuck up on while roasting my toes in the wilderness lol. ill be sure to report back as well incase for some odd reason sitting by the fire for 30+ minutes doesn't solve the issue, cheers and guard that tactical bacon with your life, WITH YOUR LIFE MAN!

so something a tad strange happened to me this morning, i was chillin by the fire, and the shakiness didn't subside, and instead seemingly more left and right scope sway started happening. im not gonna be able to test ittill tonight but ill try and get my parkinsons cured and figure out why theres so much left and right sway along with the shakiness.
