Offline mode - I have some questions

[Euphoria]

Hey everyone, I want to try the offline mode I've heard about to practise for a while to relearn the game as I haven't played since 0.59/60 and hopefully get back into the game, but I need a bit of help, please.

#1 - Is it an official offline mode or a mod? | #1a - If it's a mod, is it safe? (malware, getting banned for using it...)
#2 - Does the offline mode run the latest stable version of DayZ, or exp, dev build?
#3 - Will it have all the normal mechanics, loot, infected, vehicles that are in the game?
#4 - Does it run the same or better/worse? i.e. fps, lag... etc.
#5 - Can you adjust things like food/water/stamina/cold/heat rates to make it a challenge?
#6 - And lastly, does anyone have a trustworthy and reliable setup guild or video? I watched a video or two about installing it but it looked sketchy.

I appreciate the help. Cheers.

There is no offline mode unless you create your own private server as far as I know.

However there are plenty of community servers that are pretty much completely empty outside of certain times. So you can pretty much experience what is like a single player DayZ experience anyway.

I learned base building on a heavily modded server that had a low population, sometimes nobody but me on it for hours. So I am sure you can find a server where you can ease yourself back into it.

Well there you go...

Though I would think it would be a lot less hassle to just find a server that is empty or low pop but yeah, I had no idea this existed

Probably yeah, but I guess quicker than hosting your own if you don't have the hardware for it.

True...

I spent some time playing offline, it's nice if you miss Chernarus and just want to have a mini camping holiday away from everything BUT I think I died from Zombies just once or twice, the other dozen or so deaths were from glitches/bugs etc Unless it's been fixed without me noticing, stay away from cars unless you have nothing to lose or are prepped to lose everything.

Also have they fixed the frozen inventory slot bug yet? Last time I tried, they said they fixed up but they didn't.

I used the DayZ server in my library under "tools". Makes a single player LAN for you

Yeah you can run your own LAN server as mentioned but also as Ted mentioned, there are lots of low pop servers. The few players that do go on such servers tend not to be the bandit type (which look for high pop) and so it can really add to the experience when you see another player and not know if he is dangerous or not. It keeps you looking over your shoulder and adds to the tension IMO when other players are on the server, even if its just one. All without being in the dog eat dog PVP environment.

Another good thing about playing low pop servers is you get many different experiences due to the variety of mods available. The game can get a whole lot easier or actually move more towards a punnishing zombie appocalypse.

When you play on a private server (i know) the world gets a little sterile

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look into LAN servers and the github link.

Also, like a derp I forgot to mention that my internet during the lockdown is extremely unreliable, often off completely, and slow AF. So, that was another reason I wanted to try offline mode for a while to back into the game.

Nice to have a back-up option then for sure.
There are some hosting tool out there as well, haven't tried it myself though.

You won't get "banned" if you don't use Cheats/Hacks.

Wow I hope he's got it sorted out by now, this was 4 years ago...
