My storage disappeared. What do I do?

Stacking items in storage (for example weapons with attachments, or weapons in rifle bags) can bug storage completely. Remove attachments, avoid stacking, and keep storage simple. If it bugs out from stacking, it is player responsibility.

I am experiencing an in-game bug. How do I report it correctly?

Relog first, then report clearly with what happened, where, and when. Include server restart timing if known so admins can reproduce and verify faster.

My car has despawned. What do I do?

Vehicles are set to long lifetimes and generally do not despawn randomly. Do not park too close to structures, secure and lock the vehicle, and use a camo net where required. Vehicle responsibility stays with the owner.

My car was parked at a trader while I was gone for two weeks, and now it is gone. Why?

Trader/safe zones are not long-term parking areas. Vehicles left there for extended periods may be impounded or deleted under vehicle management rules.

I am sick and have a germ symbol. Why can I not get rid of it?

Use correct medication, keep clothes dry, and keep food/water levels stable. Illness usually persists if basic survival maintenance is ignored.

What are the red circles on the map?

Red circles indicate PvP zones where players can legally engage each other.

I found an unlocked vehicle inside a trader zone. Can I take it?

No. Vehicles may not be taken from safe/trader zones under any circumstance.

I found an unlocked vehicle outside a trader. Can I take it?

Not by default. Vehicle taking in PvE zones is only valid under raid/PvP key-acquisition conditions or weekend raid exceptions defined in server rules.

I was killed by my friend while fooling around and now I am marked as a murderer on the map. What do I do?

Lawbreaker status must be cleared by death and respawn. Use a safe self-elimination method (for example F11) if needed.

My vehicle is upside down or stuck. What am I supposed to do?

Try to recover it first: use a wrench, push the vehicle, and remove/re-attach wheels. Only contact admin after you have attempted recovery yourself.

I disconnected while flying a heli. What should I do?

Open a ticket before respawning and wait for admin review. Unless it was a confirmed server crash, this is generally treated as a player-side incident.

I crashed my heli into water and drowned. What can I do?

Open a ticket and do not respawn until reviewed. Admins may attempt recovery if available, but flying is at your own risk and refunds are not guaranteed.

I hear weird thunder and see black fog moving around. What is it?

That is the horde event. It spawns stronger infected, and the main boss is melee-oriented rather than a normal gun kill.

I tried joining but got a mod error. What should I do?

Make sure both DayZ and all required mods are fully updated and verified in your launcher.

I cannot find the secret trader. What do I do?

Watch server messages closely. Hints are broadcast there.

I got kicked during a server crash. When I rejoined my vehicle was gone. What should I do?

A rollback likely occurred. Check around 500m from your last known position, usually along the direction of travel.

Someone is harassing me, toxic, or racist. Can I kill them?

No. Report it and let admins handle enforcement through ticket review and chat policy action.
