This ^ has been my experience tonight on multiple servers. edit: could be this: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/212697-people-causing-server-crashes/ I've only recently had all these crashes/restarts and never as bad as tonight so maybe the exploit is out in the wild. Fixed in the next patch apparently.

confirmed! found two range finders, 2 lrs, more food/drink than i could carry and lots more in lapatino in 20 mins.

What?!!!! Loot is back!? Woohoo! Fantastic news! I'm going in!

If you joined the server when they first updated then you'll find it easy for the first few hours. If you join,say, 48 hours later you'll find it very difficult. I actually tried a us server last night and checked out lapatino and it was empty of loot but given the time differences I'd guess the euro servers emptied of loot before the us servers as most players wouldn't get onto the us servers until after work.

Nothing in Zelen. Nothing in the two towns to the ne of green mountain on the way to veresnik, nothing in veresnik, nothing between zelen and lapatino. I'm guessing there's a shed somewhere on the map full to the brim with loot because there sure as hell isn't any anywhere else. I think it's actually despawning or not spawning at all. I joined uk01 and picked up two potatoes and a tin of beans in the foodhouse and then server restarted and they were neither in my inv nor in the room.

Yes we have. I travelled from pavlovo all the way to lapatino.

I've been on that for a reboot and there was nothing there after the restart. We can stitch ourselves up with the sewing kit now! (not my vid, soz if posted already)

Yeah the started going last night (getting stuck at restarts.) If you haven't played since the update you'll probably be in a harsh, barren wasteland if you do get in unless the fix the loot respawning. It was a loot feast when the update first arrived but now it seems like nothing is spawning.

It's weird. I'm not even seeing much crap loot. from zelen northwards I've seen a couple of pistol flashlights, a couple of gaslight things and a couple of chemlights. Nothing else. Except when I was on uk-01 and went into the "foodhouse" and saw two potatoes and a can of beans, picked them up and the server restarted and when I got back they were gone. Not in my inventory and not in the room so it could be that loot is actually despawning. There was zilch in lapatino and that's normally pretty quiet.

It'd be cooler to start with nothing but the clothes you are in imo.

give it time:D Although maybe it's just me...I just joined DayZ US Southcentral 0-1 (Experimental/Unstable) and checked out Lapatino a bit and saw absolutely nothing. I haven't seen anything since Zelenogorsk and I went north from there and got nothing. When I first started the new .5 there was like an over-abundance of stuff but now there's nothing. Someone did mention lack of loot up north earlier in the thread but this is crazy extreme. We were swimming in loot at the start.

After an abundance of food/loot in the first few hours, I'm back to eating berries and apples. There's no loot respawning any more it seems. I've no knife so although I can kill animals I can't butcher them.

seems like it's gone from feast to famine in a few hours re loot.

looks like most uk servers are stuck at restart

I saw on reddit that can opening is being rewritten and that's probably the cause of the bugs. link: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2iom32/unofficial_changelog_050_0810/cl41og5

Not good for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

Still stuff but got the others green no problem. A weird thing happened to me earlier. I logged off upstairs in one of those barns with two stairs and when I logged back in there was dupes of some of my gear beside me and on the way out I saw an improvised backpack. Seems like someone duped my gear. I ran away because I heard loading but you can see I picked up the rags and partially eaten tactical bacon. (Two tb @ 66%, 2 x 6 rags)

thirst/hunger deffo got tweaked imo (just from my experience playing)

also screwdrivers dont open cans either now

first impressions: lots of loot and i was able to get (dark) green statuses pretty easily. not yet at full health. the movement bug is fixed for me. I have a welders mask

I don't mind people logging in near military bases but when they log off/in inside a jail or barracks then they deserve to die imo

I do stuff with my inventory e.g. open all my cans

I did the same. Dropped all my gear on a persistent server. Got back about 36 hours later and my backpack was still there. My akm, vest, trousers etc had all disappeared though. I'd love if there was a message about spine injuries and some treatment similar to broken arms etc

If you are uk/euro based english speaker...gimme a shout. I'll add anyone but I'm not going to pester anyone to play - if I'm playing then pm, join the same server and have an adventure. You must have a headset though. Nothing I hate more than that echo of my own voice when playing with someone using their inbuilt speakers/mic. Same goes for any english speaking euros. Gimme a shout. You'd probably want to be 20+ though or at least not a squeaker. (Nothing against them as people but the sound of them is bit grating when you are playing for hours.) What I found with lone wolfing was it was easy to survive/get geared up but there's no social aspect to it and if you come up against more than one player that's normally the end. Also when you are lonewolfing you never get to avenge your fallen comrades. That's one of the best things with being in a group.
