DayZ Standalone Desync Hotfix Being Developed

DayZ Standalone creator Dean Hall has confirmed on Twitter that Bohemia Interactive have identified the source of the game's desync problem are currently working on a hotfix to resolve the issue as well as the game's "crippling lag". 

Hall, who announced last month that he is to resign from Bohemia in order to establish a studio in his native New Zealand, commented: 

Source of crippling lag and desync issues appears to have been found. We are preparing a hotfix for test now. Will report soon #DayZDaily

Hopefully fixes for more bugs will be found soon but in the meantime we've got a guide for DayZ Standalone players and an introduction for beginners. The DayZ alpha sold one million copies in its first month. Originally, DayZ was a mod for Bohemia's hardcore military sim Arma 2 but after its massive success Hall was recruited by Bohemia to oversee the Standalone version. 

DayZ Standalone arrived on Steam Early Access on December 16th for $29.99.
