On topic: Girl is as much entitled to bullet as is man. That's how gender equality works. Off topic: In Rust I entered the game and got stoned by a guy laughing hysterically. Than I respawned again and got hacked by another guy, this time silent. 3rd respawn and I 0.1 second later I was dead, with an arrow through the head. 4th respawn - the same guy as 1st time, this time yelling at me "I won't take his stuff" proceeded to stone me to death yet again. I managed to move couple of meters from the 5th spawn, enough to get murdered by irradiated wolfs. I didn't really want to go for 6th that evening so I called it a day. I never had so bad experience in DayZ in my life as I did in Rust, and I'll probably stick to standalone for now.

Nothing changed for me... I'd say it's even harder to find working server now, than it was couple days ago. I'm down to 2 servers that I can play on rather reliably, and can't play even on empty or near-empty ones.

I think I've got the problem too - as soon as I enter most servers during peak hours (late afternoon-early night) I can't do anything - my weapon won't go into my hands, I can't drop things or use them via context menu in inventory, and for at least 1-2 minutes I have blank hotkey bar (it tends to appear aftwards, but there's still no reaction from my character). There are couple things not mentioned in this thread (or ones I missed...), that are quite unique: 1) The one server that's never affected, regardless of population is UK Survival (109.236.82.169:2802) 2) Some very low pop servers work for me during peak hours 3) Pretty much every single server works like a charm at 5AM in the morning on workday, even if it's 40/40 full on deathmatch with 20 people in my 'network bubble'. I couldn't find any correlation between the issue and reinstalling DayZ, validating, updating BE manually, router, modem, ISP, anti-virus software, or nesting in my backpack.
