  1. Absolutely it's more than a handful, it's most of them. I can barely find a server I can get into and if I do, I'm a respawn. Just getting the list of servers up seems to be a chore. If I refresh it's just a blank page. I thought it might be my net bogging down but I've done ping tests and everything seems fine.

    BattlEye Solution for "Failed to update" kicks

    if it helps any the red dialog when I get in says Battleye update sucessful v.214. Reinitializing... and then 20 seconds later... kersplat. Then the box coming out says Confirmation of Changes, You have been kicked, Battleye failed to update.

    BattlEye Solution for "Failed to update" kicks

    ughh same issue. Keeps saying in the red dialog when I load in that it has updated, but then I get kicked off within 1 minute and i get the message that Battleye failed to update. I was able to delete the file and replace it with the downloaded file offered above. No dice. Same thing keeps happening.

    Tutorial?

    What Applejax said is the best. I know Z is prone, X is crouch, C is stand up. Space is put your hands up. W is walk, double-tap it to sprint (but it can sap some of your energy it seems). I know Tab is inventory (left side is what is in the vicinity you can pick up, Right is what you have) I know its not uncommon for things you set down to disappear for a few seconds but don't worry they reappear. You can click mouse wheel to interact with something or right click on the item in your inventory. Can also drag items onto a hotbar at the bottom. Enter is coms, / is text com Enter switches between views and hold right mouse button to zoom in. Hope that helps

    Building Structures.

    I would like to be able to take over a structure like a house or something. Maybe build some reinforcements, booby traps, have some storage containers, etc.

    Dissapointed new player

    I've been playing 4 days and even I know....RICE DOESN'T COME IN CANS! ;) It's a bag and you have to eat it raw and it seriously dehydrates you so don't eat it unless you're near a well or are a camel. Beans are the way to go. I do understand some of your frustrations. I've not been able to find food before, whether it was too near the coast, too many people, picked over area whatever it's no less frustrating. And god forbid you server hop. People forget what it's like to be new in a game. I've had to figure things out a little at a time but every time I play I get better and make it a little further. Nothing is more frustrating than to work for 4 hours just scraping by only to die over something silly. And I've spent hours looking for a backpack and other times I've run across 3 in the first 5 minutes. :huh: But few games have made me genuinely feel panic or I've logged off in frustration ...only to be eager to log in again the next day. Give it a chance. This game has so much potential.

    Noob Question

    I've only been playing a few days as well although I haven't has quite as much bad luck. I've died several times and it's always frustrating to me as well after I've just spent 3 hours amassing the mere basics to just not die period. By other players... once someone knocked me unconscious on the coast in a starting area. And the other 2 were by people sniper-ing from a roof somewhere, but also relatively near the coast. Those were very annoying at the time. I didn't have anything of value and I'm sure if they had a scope to sniper me with, then they could see all I had was a baseball bat. They couldn't have needed anything I had, they were merely killing for sport. But those were only 3 of my deaths in about 15. The other deaths were usually from zombies or a fall while I was already in poor health. Once I died of starvation right in front of a pumpkin patch. THAT one was annoying but I know this is alpha, and that fix is coming. I did have a few GOOD instances of meeting other players too, especially after I moved inland. (more loot too) I would see someone and panic and they would call out to let me know they were there or to tell me they were friendly. I learned to use the coms enough to call out friendly back and the F1 raise a hand in hello. Most of them had guns but it was obvious I was new and they could see my noob 'weapon' and just said hello and moved on their way. One even offered me some food and a water bottle. I had seen so many bad hold up videos I was grateful to come across these players. Beans to all of them :beans: I usually crouch run, never fully upright if this helps. And I run from one cover to another ie, bush to bush, or to fence, or to tree. I use the Right mouse button to zoom in and take a look ahead every so often, especially in towns.

    I am legitimately scared every time I log in

    I've only been playing for 4 days and I think that is what hooked me in. The first night I had just barely figured out how to get my flashlight to work and then I saw someone ELSE's flashlight moving across the street. I panicked and turned mine out and I don't think I've ever turned it on again! haha I could actually feel the panic. Also Everytime a zombie attacks me I flail around aimlessly, not able to get the right combo of buttons together to equip my weapon, stand up and raise my hands let alone hit. And the first time someone came up to me I didn't realize there was coms in the game and the person said something to me and I nearly knocked over my desk just BEFORE they hit me with something and knocked me unconscious. I've been looking for beans ever since :P
