Подскажите как зайти на сервер в DayZ

[withered]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1660706380?t=1h16m46s - its from like ~2 years ago. Long story short: ~no, because it means a lot of work and it wont necessarily make things better in the long run - at least according to them. "DayZ" of now is more popular, but only because it lacks serious competition on its shelf.

I guess not before ArmA 4 has hit the shelves.

DayZ uses the Enfusion engine which is a hybrid - a mix of 2 different engines, I’m pretty sure.

Arma Reforger is the new and updated Enfusion engine. Bohemia Interactive created this engine specifically for big open landscapes and milsim type stuff. It looks freaking awesome. I can’t wait until the next DayZ comes out on this new engine. Absolutely stunning and I think it blows UE 5 out of the water.

Dayz was developed alongside with the new engine and eventually got many parts of it, but never all. So it remains a mix of both the new and old. This is because the game would've been even more miserable and we'd probably still be in the alpha phase if they had tried to implement the whole Enfusion engine while it was really far from being mature enough.

I think they'll wait until the Enfusion Engine is complete with ArmA4 and then bring DayZ to life on the new engine alongside ArmA4... because I can understand that it would be too much work to put DayZ on the new engine... They know that we love DayZ and they also know that they'll make a lot of money with DayZ on the ninth engine... just like with ArmA 4, double profit for Bohemia :D is how it is...

It probably won't.

DayZ is already on the new engine, in Arma Reforger but not as we know it. It all starts again as a mod like back in the days and it will probably like that when Arma 4 arrives.

But tbh i hope there will never be an official DayZ on the new engine as long as the main game is still a mess in many ways. AI is still garbage, base building/raid is still garbage, server connections are garbage, especially on official servers, there is still many content from the Alpha/Beta missing like the Bus, melee is a mess and so on...

Before they think about a new game, they should finish their actual game. Sure, there are many mods. But mods are still mods, and for many people, including me, it's a struggle to find a good server that includes the mods you actually want to play with, because most servers use mods that ruin the core of the game and no longer have anything to do with DayZ. Unfortunately, mods have also caused the community to split, making it significantly harder to find people to play with who share the same interests. Some only play without traders, some absolutely want to play with traders. Some need unlimited stamina, while others prefer stamina. Some absolutely need a group system, others don’t, and so on.
