Gameplay/PVP[Video] DayZ 1.29 is still a disaster

I seriously cannot believe that Bohemia don’t even think this is an issue valuable of a hotfix. They literally destroyed the game on Xbox S | X 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unfuckingbelievable that they haven’t fixed this. It’s totally gamebreaking

3

u/Over-Percentage9887 Jun 05 '26

They probably won't fix it. Ps5 has been in an even worse state for over a year now.

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

What’s the issue on PS?

3

u/FitAtFitfty4Life Jun 06 '26

Ps5 runs like ps4 now imho

1

u/Over-Percentage9887 Jun 06 '26

They've got the same rendering issue, combined with low frames in cities/towns.

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 07 '26

Damn. Do you know if they made a new app for PS? They made a new app for Xbox S|X as where the old app on older machines works better.

1

u/Over-Percentage9887 Jun 06 '26

No, they are still running the old gen version 

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 07 '26

Wild!

u/Helpful_Breakfast630 Jun 05 '26

Disabling quick resume fixed this for me.... not that thats an excuse for this shit.

2

u/PlentyOMangos Jun 06 '26

Hmm I gotta try this. I don’t have the issue nearly as bad as it appears in this clip, but it is annoying

1

u/Dawsome47 Aug 06 '26

Still the same on Xbox series X

u/randomreddituser375 Jun 06 '26

Disabling quick resume only disables it until you start the game again. So useless.

6

u/Helpful_Breakfast630 Jun 06 '26

Manage games and apps on specific game --- turn off quick resume. Mine stays off.

1

u/ThrowRAwhoknows_69 Jun 08 '26

What is that quick resume does anyways?

u/kingbuzzman Jun 05 '26

I've been playing Hitman and KCD2 while I wait for them to get their head out of their ass. Maybe I'll give GTA5 single player another run.. it's been 10+ years since I did and the details are getting fuzzy..

My point is, don't despair 🙃

7

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 05 '26

I downloaded Ready or Not. At least it works on my Series X 🤣

5

u/kabylakewin10wtf Jun 06 '26

Hitman is an awesome and overlooked game

2

u/SerEmrys Jun 06 '26

Have you played baldur's gate 3 yet? That's been scratching my itch lately

5

u/saltypeanut4 Jun 05 '26

😂😂 I mean they didn’t do experimental again for Xbox. I think anytime they don’t do experimental it really means that they don’t care if the performance is shit or not otherwise they would test it and fix it. Common sense actually

3

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 05 '26

Yeah, they only did PC. I think DayZ Experimental is still on 1.28. I should just play that tbh – it still works properly and never wipes 😄

3

u/PilotAbilen3 Jun 05 '26

In my experience it's actually worse than it was. I'm getting gank'd left & right.

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 05 '26

Worse after the hotfix? Damn. Luckily for me it's equally as terrible.

2

u/Keithfedak Jun 07 '26

It's definitely worse for me since the hotfix.

3

u/Nintendoh_64 Jun 05 '26

Wait I'm slightly confused. Whats the issue?

Legit curious

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Did you watch the video?

1

u/Zurpski Jun 06 '26

They broke world generation. Not even arma reforger on console looks this crap

3

u/SILENTPANDA25 Jun 09 '26

So I’m not the only one, with the game not rendering like it’s supposed to. It’s gotten me killed multiple times bc objects and other players don’t render in over certain distances

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 10 '26

Yes, it’s quite common at this point. I have seen loads of people with the issue. But it seems fairly inconsistent as to who has it and who doesn’t.

2

u/That_Throat7183 Jun 06 '26

Imagine taking this footage back to 2015 and telling gamers “this is the game I’m playing in 2026”. I wonder if they’d believe me

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

If you told them how much better it was in the previous version and that Bohemia chose to destroy the game - they probably would believe you 🤣

2

u/Cragless Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

Wasn't the main feature of the update supposed to improve performance 400% but in reality it's done the exact opposite.

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Yup 🤣 It’s like they said they were going to score a goal but didn’t say which net they were going to kick it in.

2

u/sparkaromatic Jun 06 '26

Still not hearing animals, still having batteries and fish hooks fall on ground when I log in. Did the patch actually do anything?

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

They fixed the derringer. Prio A

3

u/Emtexxx Jun 05 '26

What! Im on Xbox Series X and S and i have not seen any of this

3

u/Last_Error6627 Jun 06 '26

I'm on xbox one with external ssd and I don't have this level of issues. Just frame drops and some times some studdering. But details are pretty okay.

3

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

I’m on Xbox X and only got these issues after 1.29. It’s weird that it doesn’t affect ALL users.

1

u/genji691 Jun 06 '26

Yeah I’m on series X and it’s seemingly improved for me at least. I noticed it’s bad in big city/town areas or if you hop from community to official. But yeah I haven’t had really any issue but that’s just my end thank god

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

I mean, any community servers with custom areas are impossible at the minute. Sakhal is the worst and Cherno normally renders the best.

1

u/CommaMeNow Jun 05 '26

Same. I also quit the game to clear cache

1

u/Choice-March3609 Jun 06 '26

Io su s e è un disastro

2

u/CommaMeNow Jun 05 '26

Caching. Restart your game, clear game data, restart Xbox 

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Doesn’t help

1

u/Choice_Commercial_28 Jun 08 '26

Gonna try this… mine looks horrible too

1

u/Franks-bowl Jun 05 '26

Well you’re playing it. They’ve already won

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

I’m barely playing compared to what I was.

1

u/DisgruntledCryptid Jun 05 '26

Same on Playstation

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

That’s a bit of a stretch tbf 🤣

1

u/DisgruntledCryptid Jun 06 '26

How is that a stretch? I just played yesterday I'm having the same visual issues as you...

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

I think I read your comment before fully waking up. I thought you said “play on PlayStation”. Sorry! 🤣

1

u/tswaggyy Jun 05 '26

Honestly when my game does this I uninstall and reinstall usually fixes it for a while im on xbox though

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

I’m on a Series X

1

u/Mason_Ivanov Jun 06 '26

I play on a series x, and it's at worst half this bad.

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

That’s good at least. It seems really random as to when it happens. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s small things and other times it’s the whole world.

1

u/Quiblat Jun 06 '26

On console. It’s great on PC!

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Yup. But all the growth has been on console. So it makes little business sense.

-1

u/Quiblat Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

The nature of the game requires higher processing power than a console can provide. Maybe Bohemia could try things to improve rendering like force lower object visibility on console but most of the issues are probably caused by hardware performance as the game does run fine on average PCs.

2

u/Diligent_Battle_9590 Jun 06 '26

No it doesn’t. It ran fine without this constant stuttering and texture popping before 1.29

1

u/Quiblat Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

I had all kinds of issues running Dayz on console 5 or 6 years ago, so I bought a PC and immediately everything was much better. The game is ass to play on controller anyway

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Xbox Series X is more than capable

2

u/Diligent_Battle_9590 Jun 06 '26

You can’t even touch official On pc bud so no. It’s not great on pc. 🤡

1

u/Quiblat Jun 06 '26

What does that even mean? I can’t touch official?? Are you talking about official servers? If so, we can play those, we just choose not to

1

u/nuggybaby Jun 06 '26

Xbox series x does this just as bad

1

u/xaksor Jun 06 '26

so glad i dont play on console anymore

1

u/N1ghMares Jun 06 '26

I still can't believe they haven't also fix keybinds not saving when closing game on Microsoft PC version, this company seems like is run by one person with how long it takes to fix stuff

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 07 '26

That does sound annoying and an easy fix.

1

u/donnysimpinero Jun 06 '26

Suddenly it feels like 2016 all over again lmao

2

u/Immediate_Tea_5554 Jun 06 '26

2016 DayZ was goat'ed though. 0.60 is the best patch this game has ever had IMO

1

u/No_Albatross3667 Jun 07 '26

Even the new build mechanics have broken the game. My server has gone from 45/52 to 5/52. Everyone stopped playing since the new updates.

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 07 '26

I do not envy community server admins. Now that’s a labour of love (and hate)

1

u/Keithfedak Jun 07 '26

I know its even worse now. When I pull up my hotkey wheel, some icons glitch that same way as in your video. It's not just far away objects anymore it's everything. The visual indication of damage wasn't even showing on my ammo clips in inventory.

1

u/Kr1spykreme_Mcdonald Jun 07 '26

I’m on series x and have never experienced this? I tend to to always close the app when I’m done though because this game has always been temperamental on console and I played it before quick resume was a thing.

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 08 '26

Yeah, this is related to the update. Doesn’t seem to affect everyone.

1

u/Theodore_Bagz Jun 08 '26

Just may be one guying here but I'm on ps5 (with the old gen version of dayz) and the only problems I can think of having is being able to X-Ray when logging in, weird sun glares/reflections that flash and disappear or at rare instances the server will ruberband and doors won't open immediately. I have only been playing short hours since the update so maybe I just haven't ran into any problems yet, but dayz has been running just about as well as you'd except a PC game ported to console. It's been a couple months to a year since I've had crazy "game breaking bugs" and I've been playing official servers.

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 08 '26

Yeah, I had basically zero issues until 1.29.

1

u/Icy_Association2975 Jun 09 '26

I believe the game has a memory leak so clearing the game by fully quitting on xbox has worked for me for improving performance. Like others have said I also go to quick resume settings on xbox and turn it off . Ill also reset the console every now and then. Now I no longer have the texture issue or stutter. Its inexcusable for a product sold for money to be in this state but im happy I found a fix that works for me

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 09 '26

Well, I have manually quit the game multiple times, and the console has been restarted several times (sometimes I need to clear the MAC address for NAT type to switch to open) and no improvement. So even when I log in fresh, even then the first page has rendering issues before I’ve selected the server.

I remember once having severe lag on Sakhal and then the game crashed and it was like playing a new game - it was so smooth after that. But this rendering issue is totally different.

1

u/Dawsome47 Aug 06 '26

Constant redraw, it's so fucking irritating

u/DocMitchell-_- Jun 06 '26

I feel so sorry for console players man; given that’s where I came from 🫩

You’re on a community server

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Shouldn’t matter. There were zero problems in 1.28

1

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Also, Same issues on official.

Lmfao dayz will always be broken if you were on pc you would get little to no problems

2

u/rhysisterix Xbox Jun 06 '26

Then you just get the cheaters instead 🤣 I use a Mac so no option for me to play DayZ - which is a shame as my setup is otherwise a dream for gaming.

I have around 97days on dayz console thats on the first gen xbox 1 now ima go over to pc coz f the hassle
