Do doors randomly open after server restarts?
I have a base using an existing building and sometimes when I log in one of the existing doors may be open, sometimes both. I have only had one failed raid attempt so not sure if the doors are open due to RNG after restarts, or if it is actually other players discovering my base

Back at launch they where all closed by default but changed at some point.
I still close em out of old habbit though :P

Ah excellent, thank you!

It is actually a better idea to make it random, as it makes it harder to be certain of another players movements and I like how it always keeps me on my toes (as you really should be in DayZ).

Upon restart some doors are open and some are closed, but it are always the same doors that are open or closed. So with experience you get to know in certain spots of the map when a player has opened a door or when it was just the restart.

Hmm okay, well that puts a twist on things then as the doors on my base are sometimes closed and sometimes open. So I guess it has been discovered many times over in that case

The little brown house with small stove and the big Yellow house with a back door and front storage are 2 that spawn open

Okay so I think they may have made changes and there is an issue that is causing players to get kicked from the game. Long story short, I got kicked exactly like a server restart except it wasn't as I got a notification there will be one in 45 mins etc.

I got back in and everything had reset like a server restart and my doors were all open again, which never used to happen. Which leads me to conclude that they have changed things with the update.

On a positive note, I no longer get multiple bleeds from my barbed wire just because I walked through my open gate carrying something

Yeah it really had me cursing under my breath and spending a lot of time collecting rags and bandages, along with saline and taking my own blood so I wasn't in black and white all the time lol

It was still worth it to make my little base really really annoying to try and break into but so glad it is fixed now!

Hello there, I wanna know if rn in the v1.19 the "doors open/closed" randomizer in the Official Servers still works the same way in all the building structures (buildings, houses, barracks, etc.?

Thanks in advance and have a great 2023 ya'll!! ;)
