    This seems like a trivial question to ask, given all the performance issues people are having, but I'll ask anyway:

    Has anyone found any of the pouches for the plate carrier on stable yet? I've found several plate carriers, but no pouches. I've been running around all over the place looking for them. I ran across several of the pouches on experimental yesterday, but not a single one today. Haven't found the holster for the plate carrier either, but I only saw one of those on experimental yesterday, so I think it's pretty rare (saw it on the WOBO guide as well).

    Possibly related, I have seen a ton of chest holsters spawning in military spawns today. I wonder if something happened with the item ids with the version pushed to stable. Just a thought.

    For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any framerate issues. I'm running with no startup parameters. This patch does seem to crash more often than .53.

    Apparently cooking steaks on an open fire takes more than fifteen minutes in real time.

    That should burn them ;) I prefer my steaks cooked about 4 minutes a side. Medium rare. MMMMMmmm.

    Seriously though, I have noticed the cooking time getting longer. Used to be less than 10 minutes. Were these 80 - 90% steaks?

    Welcome to my world brother, here is Hawaii everything, pretty much, is 100+, I do ok on Aus/NZ HC though, so between that and Singapore is where I usually am.. I have not seen the hard reset you mentioned, I am miles away from my cache point right now so it'll be some time before I get back there.

    Besides LMB is so bad for me right now I am reinstalling, hopefully it helps.

    It did not help, I am switching out my mouse, maybe that will help.

    Aloha! THE LMB bug definitely sucks. I've only experienced it in melee combat. The thing that works for me is to be very deliberate with each click and let the swing animation complete before I click again. With the hit box being messed up right now, I'm using the time to line up my next swing. I can take on two zombies like that with little or no damage (3 hurts a bit and you better have a gun for 4:). I've even killed two with one swing a couple of times :). Yeah it's a glitch, but I figure if the zombies can still (sometimes) glitch through walls and see me from a mile away, killing two of them with one swing of the axe is fair play.

    For what it's worth, I didn't experience the LMB bug when playing on the AUS/NZ server. It's only one data point, but I would think that high ping isn't the cause.

    I experienced what I would call a "hard reset" (defined as a complete loot wipe and respawn on a server) on the AUS/NZ* HC server this morning. I was cooking some deer meat when I got the 5 minute warning for server restart. I thought I had enough time it finish up before the restart. So, I finished cooking, broke down the fire, picked up my bow, and a minute later the server restarted. It took about half an hour to come back, and when it did I logged back in to discover that the last save of my character was before I extinguished the fire. The fireplace and my bow where gone. Thinking that it was possibly a hard reset, I made a run to the military base in Zelornegorsk. It certainly looked like I was the first one there. There was no extraneous loot anywhere. It could be a coincidence, but I really don't think so.

    With all the server restarts going on this weekend, has anyone else seen this?

    *I was on the AUS/NZ server when all the US servers were packed. One thing I learned: ping > 200 makes zombie combat very hard.

    Quick Question: Do the characters still get reset every time you exit the game? I thought that was an exp. bug, I just wanted to see fi anyone knows if it has been fixed.

    I'm starting exp tomorrow. Is there anything like locking or "claiming" doors to stash stuff or can you just drop stuff, no matter where or what and it will stay there like a well trained puppy?

    Thanks guys! (Normally I would read and search for the answers, I apologize, I just don't have a lot of time this weekend, so your answers are very much appreciated.)

    Characters are only wiped on updates (per Eugene on Reddit), so they were all wiped on Friday. Since then, I've logged in and out several times with the latest patch and my character is the same.

    There's no way to lock any doors or create any other sort of stash. However, whatever you drop will still be there through a server restart. I've seen this in several ways. I'd recommend dropping something somewhere out of the way and then go back to that spot tomorrow and see if it's still there. It's really cool, although I'm easily impressed.

    I made it to the military base SE of Vbyor this morning. The place looked like a teenager's bedroom: jeans, shirts, jackets, and shoes EVERYWHERE!!!!! I had a good laugh and added my wool coat and hiking shoes to the mess.

    On a serious note, I wonder how they're going to clean out discarded loot like that?

    Blah blah guns blah blah magazines... anyone have any experience with the respawning loot or item persistence yet? Coolest thing I noticed when I had time to play earlier was dead zombie bodies not disappearing but I'm not sure this exactly falls into the "persistence" category.

    When the server I was on crashed, I logged back into it and went back to the last few houses I'd been in. The exact same loot that I'd left was still there, so I fairly certain it persisted across restarts.

    I also think loot respawning is working. I was in the ATC at the NEAF and saw six or seven pairs of new spawn running shoes, indicating that people had been finding military boots. I found a pair of combat boots under the straits and added my running shoes to the tally.

    I also think I've seen containers not persisting items as Eugene mentioned on reddit. I found two completely empty med kits in a clinic. They weren't "glitchy" med kits where you can see what's in them if you put them in your inventory, they were really empty. It's only one data point, I'm curious what other people are seeing.

    Finally, KOS is alive and well on experimental. Sigh.

    Good job pulling this together.  I've up voted and commented on the ones that I've seen.  I haven't had any issue with the LMB since .47, but I guess it's still there.  

     

    Bugs I have reported

     

    LMB bug is back and is killing me, I log off and back in and it comes right back.

    Heli Crash Sites not spawning

    http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=14488

     

    .45 and 5.56 ammo is not spawning except in magazines, no loose or boxed found and I have been all over the map.

    Hit boxes on zombies and zombies are immediately spawning on the point they are killed, kinda defeats the purpose of killing them if you ask me.

    I updated this one about floored tents not spawning loot.

    http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=14199

     

    Today I found a 75 round drum 7.62 magazine but I have only found AK101's, have not seen an AKM in a long while, are they still spawning?  Anyone know?

     

    My Makarov pistol got ruined..

    I've seen 2 AKMs since Friday. I've also seen 1 AK 101 mag. Still haven't seen an MP-5 ever. For the life of me, I also can't find a fishing hook. I've managed to find some rope for a fishing pole, but can't find the #%^*ing hook. Where have people been finding them on .47?

    On a positive note, I'm having a blast surviving with the long server restarts. I've cooked up a deer, a boar, and a goat. Awesome stuff!

    We found 2 in normal, I have found about 4 in hardcore. What we cant seem to find are the freaking MP5 mags. Searched 25+ police cars, and about 15 police stations with no luck.

     

    I found 2 30 round mp5 mags today (Staroye and Dolina Police Stations).  Still looking for an mp5 itself in .47.  I've lost count of the number of police stations/cars I've been in looking for one.  Been doing a loop of police stations for a couple of days with no luck :(
