Has anyone driven a non-bouncing car in official server since 1.07 patch ?

[YiffyPawbs621]

Just asking because i did not. Am i just unlucky or this patch has totally ruined already broken cars. pls fix btw

[Mad Mike]

My 2 cars are fine so far... Will build up a couple more tonight. My server is a rental from fragnet with 1 player though so I have few issues.
Edit to add the ONLY time I had a car flip out on me was this patch however.

can you "build" cars from parts bought and found ?

Sort of. It is only a few bits and bobs.
Nothing can be bought... Trader mod prolly hands you a car for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ collar dress...

only thing i hate about CAR is when you hit a spike of lag and you car go left and hit something bye bye car.

i play on a server where you can buy anything, most of the vehicles are pretty expensive but I find all the car parts lying around

Not been playing around on official much lately (and don't bother trying to get a car when I am), but I've been messing around on a private server where I've been using cars quite a bit. For the most part, they actually seem much more stable than I previously remembered, but when I get a lag spike (usually due to multiple devices in the house trying to use the internet connection), the car does tend to bounce around alot. So pretty much a lag/connection issue.

Like Mad Mike I play on a private low pop server. Vanilla settings. I usually 'collect' cars and drive them quite a bit. We've had just a few of the rocket launching incidents (1.06 and 1.07). However when lag hits we just hope we're driving in a straight line in 1st gear on a paved road that has no turns. Mashing the brakes and not turning the wheel at all the second lag hits has probably saved me several times - more than once my final resting place was about a foot away from a tree, building, etc.

The phrase, "Drive Defensively", applies to DayZ vehicles 100%.

well you cant expect too much from the game . it has only been worked on for 5 or 6 years and they still only have cars as transport . imagine when other modes of transport are added like heles..patience is the key

The car "bouncing" is because of desync / lag. It doesn't matter what server you play on, if you have a bad ping or there are lots of players you aren't going to have a good time in a car.

It's a bad server ( low fps ), players on potato internet and high ping in general causing desync ( the old engines were prone to this ), and too many players for the hardware...also non optimized mods or mods with models that are too high detail can cause bad performance. If you doubt it ask Dslyecxi from youtube.

Dslyecxi is hardly an expert on the matter, but the points still stand. Poor communication performance, no matter the cause of which, will cause issues with cars bouncing around.

I haven't had too many problems with vehicles since playing again after several years. Although one time last night I got out of the car and my character hit the pavement, the screen glitched out to show all sky around me for half a second before re-rendering normal but without my car there. I quickly force shut down the client and server and it was there when I came back but that's the only problem I've had with them so far.

My character also seems to trip and cut themselves if I get out of a car before shutting the engine off too, even if its completely stopped. I'm not so sure at this point if that's a bug or a feature. I'm just glad the game kinda works now.

Seems featurery to me. If you or your passengers want to bail from a moving/running car then DayZ exacts cost.

In my exp. damn skoda car is plagued with this like hell, even in stable low player server this thing is unreliable and can fall under map... This is just one of many proof of incompetence of this team... Its also a @#$% how much easier it is to build car in DLC compared to normal game - ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shame.

[Tiraksor]

depends on server load. High load - bouncing cars, low load - nice and smooth driving
