Probably means that servers aren't updated yet. Give it time.

Seems pretty smooth so far, combat worked well. Only that some servers keep on crashing every 10 min(could have been just those 2 - 3 I joined). Also apartment building balconies either don't have collision or you can really easily lag through them

Yeah, there is hope, just check back here in 1 to 4 years, then this game will be ready, probably. I mean the game is great, but the developement is way too slow(it has been 0.59 for 5 months)... It kinda gives me the feeling the devs will abandon this soon, which I hope is not true, but it just feels like it... When 0.60 comes out with new render, the fps is supposed to change. I wished they would have picked Arma 3 engine to work on, instead of Arma 2 one.

You have a higher chance finding people at military areas on low pop servers. In full servers people don't go usually to there because of being afraid of getting shot. If I want decent gear I always go to military areas on high pop servers.

Anyone else experienced this weird bug, that when you are inside a building and you hit a wall with a melee weapon, the doors(mostly outside ones) of the building close? Doesn't work with every building, worked with the log cabin, red brick building and with some green building aswell.

You have a higher chance of running into people at those locations on low population servers(atleast on public hive, because of server hoppers). At full servers people tend to stay near the coast area.

Were you on the upper floor? I have had legs broken or random death for being on the second floor of any building. Especially those red ones.

Considering this is DayZ, it is pretty normal.

When did the devs changed it? I hadn't recognised it. Was it long ago? For me, it's a good decision. I like it :) What about changing FOV? I remember if you lowered it, you could zoom in more with the Long range scope, don't know if that works with binoculars though.

Zombies are way too toned down. Zombies spotting players kinda comes and goes, so to speak, they can see the tip of your head through a boarded up window from 200m away and yet again you can sometimes run up to zombies, with them reacting to you from 5m away. You can sneak past zombies by moving quietly and using cover. You can lose zombies through buildings, trees, bushes(pretty much if you break their line of sight for a while, they will stop following you.

Those were just steam servers, it should be okay now.

Are the servers down again? I havent been able to get on a server since 0.53 was launched, just says "Wait on host..." or "Connecting failed", also every single server is either full or empty

Only took 2 months to get chopper crasher working, yey... Anway, anything else except for new animal AI, haven't seen any new items or animations.

Was it on public hive? and is the persistance on, on that server? If so, probably people server hopping, also persistance loot spawning is broken.

Maybe you can only find them at chopper crashes. Though I haven't seen a single pistol silencer there so far. It could be that they removed them completely.

Pistol silencers have been in the game quite a while. I think the best chance to find them is at chopper crashes or christmas trees. Then again, I haven't seen either, for a long time.

Has anyone experience some odd lag on persistance off servers? Most(if not all) of the pers. off servers start to lag for me after some time, like picking up items, interacting with the inventory etc. Ghillies(hood, bushrag, top) were added 0.51, full ghillie suit was added 0.52, also painting hood, bushrag and top worked in 0.51.

There is one tutorial what helped me with my fps, a lot. It could also help you

This is usually always the case on public hives what have persistance on, people just server hop constantly and hence no new loot spawns. Also a lot more people move around military loot spawns nowdays and stuff doesn't respawn. Not just you, apparently a lot of people have experience that, especially around fire stations. It happened to me 4 times in a row on different servers at north-west airfield. One thing what I have noticed is that lately a lot more people experience these kinds of bugs, compared to the early days of this patch.

Weapon attachements dissapearing when painting a weapon is a pretty old bug(or, well I remember it happening couple of months ago), sometimes relogging helps.

One weird bug I noticed that you can get really easily soaked, if you go near a pond. I went to fill up my canteen, only things what were touching water, were my Wellies, and yet I got completely soaked, as if I went to take a swim with clothes on. None of the cloathing items showed that they were wet, eventhough it said "Soaked" under the status, and was spamming "I am completely soaked", "I am rapidly cooling off" in the chat. I was still able to wring the items out, though that had no effect on being soaked. I fixed it by making a fire and sitting next to it for 10 - 20min.

Crash sites spawn fine, don't know about tents though.

Try this

A zombie went aggro on me from about 100 meters away, when I was in a building, behind a mostly boarded up window. Probably saw my head trough 2x2 cm uncovered hole. I find it funny how zombies can aggro on you from insane distances, but when you run towards them with a melee weapon up, they only notice you when you get real close.

I have had that happen, but instead of reconnection I use actions, like when it happens with a can of food, I open it, when it is ammo, I split and then combine etc. It also helps to go away for a certain distance and then coming back.
