Hello, This is my first post. Before I list some problems i have been having, I would just like to say that I am a big fan of this game...looking forward to completion. For the past few weeks I have been having some big problems that have made the game 100% unplayable. When I log into the game I search for servers with less than 30 ping. When I find a server and login, the game is completely blurry...can't see anything. To fix this problem, I hit esc - configure - video...as soon as i click on "video" the resolution corrects itself and I can see clearly...then close out of the menu and can start moving around. I cannot open doors, or pick up items, or put a weapon in my hands, or move items in my inventory. I am currently stuck inside a military barracks at the west landing strip. I have been here for more than a week and cant do anything. I have played around with video settings...set everything to "normal", 50%. I believe my comp meets the requirements to play the game: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, Q8200 @ 2.34GHz, 8 GB. All of my other games work perfectly: TF2, L4D2, The Witcher, WOW, Battlefield. When I first try to login to a server, I have to wait for 300 seconds...watching the timer tick down...8 times out of 10, I get kicked and returned to the server menu. If the game loads up, there are more problems. Usually within 2-5 minutes, i get a red chain, a counter appears on my screen which says something like, "no signal" as it counts from 0 to 160 and then disconnects me from the server, returning me to the server menu, or, all of a sudden my screen will freeze for a couple of seconds and then it goes completely black. While the screen is black I can hear the regular game sounds...I can move around, i can hear all the sounds...I just cant see anything but black. The only thing I can do at this point is ctrl+alt+del, terminate the game and then reload and go through the same process until I get annoyed and turn the game off. fyi - these crashes happen 100% of the time. I haven't been able to get out of the building I am in for over a week. When I first started playing the game it worked great. Now it is unplayable. Before these problems began, 2-3 weeks ago, I had accumulated a good inv supply. I found that when I filled up one bag, 35 slots, I could put the full bag on the ground, pick up an empty bag, and then put the full bag into the empty bag, and I would have 10 slots left over, then I could repeat the process with another empty bag. I was carrying 5 bags, totalling about 225 slots full of stuff. At one point last week, I was able to put the bag I was carrying on the ground, thinking, great! I can finally do something. But the bag disappeared and never came back...so i lost everything I had...guns, ammo, food, carrying cases...everything. Can anyone help? I really want to play the game and it is incredibly frustrating. Everyday I get home from work hoping the game will work this time...nope! Can anyone offer some advice?
