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'."

Opened I wonder how long its going to be until it comes out.
I'm hoping that it will be released some time in early 2014.. I am anticipating the release of this game pretty highly.

doges I want them to release a bug free game so if they have to take more time then do it
Well.. i would much rather a game with little bugs than a game with little development time

I couldn't wait for this until I seen the new dev blog. I think they've changed a bit too much. Also the inventory system looks a bit crap. I didn't see any need to change from what Arma 2's was. Oh well, I'll still get it nonetheless.

I'm hoping that it comes out for console. I could see the PC version of DayZ selling around a million eventually
