Tenacious bugs, optimization woes continue to delay DayZ
"We think we need a minimum of 15 [server side] FPS [with] 50 players, 2000 zombies, and 25000 loot items," explained designer Dean Hall in a recent Reddit post. "Our latest tests have all shown some runaway systems in the code we have to tidy up. The variable synchronization system that was developed for work with the network bubble, is checking the variables very often. We're optimizing this. Also, there are many string comparisons." It goes on like that for a few more sentences, but the key takeaway here is that there are very real, technical hurdles that must be leapt before the game can hit retail.
Despite this refreshing level of transparency, Hall refuses to assign a release window to the standalone version of DayZ. "If I start saying 'oh it won't be out then' people start asking me about the day after, and the day after," said Hall. "So it just encourages people to keep asking me when it is, and the "announced date" would be when I go 'yeah, it could be out then'."

Tyrannicide Hopefully they pull through quickly. They only need to sell 100,000 units before considering a console port and that's what I'm waiting for!
"consider"
What if I told you that doesn't mean they are going to bring it to console.

KatsumiLavishdoges I want them to release a bug free game so if they have to take more time then do it
The game won't be bug free.
There has never been a game in history to be released without any bugs...
I'm sure that what we all want is a relatively bug free game. While there is bound to be some bugs all games should aim to make them both as sparse and discreet as possible
Of course.
They just released the Alpha to certain people and there are already users complaining about bugs.
It's like the don't understand what a alpha is.

DayZ isn't for filthy plebs.
Lol tryhard PC player...
Always has something to say about consoles, probably even never played on one.
I've played both.
Console doesn't stand a single chance against PC.
Console is only medium or less graphics while you can play on Ultra with PC.
