Ok it's not as cool as the title sounds but thought I'd share. I was running around Dubky when I stumbled upon a tent woo hoo. All of a sudden silent ninja zed attack! I started to run and noticed something kind of hilarious that they couldn't run past a certain point and was stuck in an endless running animation. If I ran past then she could chase but never could come back across that line by the staircase.

Lol at the bonus!

I've got a strange issue now. When I try to go into a new server I'm presented with a generic terrain background with no trees/buildings and the game never loads. Funny thing is that image will change to something entirely different when I attempt to go into another server. Seems like it takes about 3-4 tries into new servers to get the appropriate splash screen with server IP and current players.

Pat yourself on the back.... Now that I've read a positive statement regarding the fact you can sneak behind them I gave it another go and have had great luck and in fact they new Zeds are growing on me. Don't get all high and mighty on your high post count. You would think with all that "experience" you would offer insight rather than insult. Granted I'll look before I leap next time. I did not realize the smarts also added to the Zeds at first... all I knew is I logged off yesterday in a sleepy .54 release to come back to getting an immediate laggy ass kicking in .55.

Good to know... I guess being used to the old ones you never know what they'll do. I'll jump back in shortly and see if I can get around them.

I think you just expected "whining" and wanted to troll, otherwise you would've have stated that in your original post. I was seeking input regarding the latest patch but you just wanted to tell me that I sucked at this game and to find something else to do.

Lol sort of.. if you're lucky... like mentioned above the invisible tentacles seem to get you.

I understand that being a zombie game they should be your primary threat. The issue is the lack of ability to smoothly interact with them during a fight. A near static character not moving its arms at you but registering hits is a little 8 bit. This is a stable patch discussion thread for good and bad. Telling someone to find a new game is not very constructive....I'm just suggesting there should be other priorities over super aggressive glitch zeds.

Good luck.. I ran out of repeater ammo already in Cherno due to the panic lol. I'm betting this is going to get really tough on a fresh spawn.

I guess, I just think a lot of the other game's mechanics could've been figured out before zombies were messed with.

It still only took two hits but they managed to get 2-4 on me. They sound different now but no I couldn't hear the others coming while bandaging. Took a few sucker punches before I could get up and take them out as well. Now all my stuff is ruined in just one quick encounter..

Sure, in a non-lagging smoother game that would be fantastic.. when my animations stop what I'm doing or commands don't work at all it's a pretty unfair advantage. They seem to jump/lag while walking around you to keep up. It's a little overwhelming.

Great now I can't kill zombies with normal weapons in .55. They punch like Tyson before I can even get one swing in. I'm hiding in a shed now fearing for my life.

Hey guys been awhile since I've posted or really played for that matter. Game seems like it's really getting somewhere with all the new content. I apologize if it's been brought up a 100 times but I just wanted to see if anyone had insight on my experiences with 54. 1. My guy is like pac man to food. I feel like he's always hungry. Anyone else notice this? It just seems to be a limitation especially if you like to live "off the grid" in game. 2. Still can't get certain commands to work half the time. When I try to change weapons or jump I have to stop moving and hit the key repeatedly. (I had a Logitech MX5500 with the issue and still see it with my G710+) 3. Lag... still laggy... why? =( 4. Choppy/low framerate at times especially in the city. I'm guessing a GTX970 is in my near future? 5. Where is everybody? Even in the large servers I'm not really running into anyone... where do the sane people meet and run a muck? Other than that I'm hooked again... big thanks to Bohemia for the hard work.. I'm sure this is quite an undertaking to create.

Cool thanks for the insight... I think I remember now someone saying the engine was based on a 10 year old platform and they planned to upgrade it. I tend to play on higher populated servers as it's generally too easy to get what you want when no one is around lol.

I changed everything according to the OP and I'm seeing some odd issues. First off my character reset (boo) and second when I enter a server all objects load really slowly and are basic grey polygons. This lasts for probably 45 seconds or so then everything will load as it should. Its not a huge deal but twice now while loading I've been attacked and had no idea how to defend or move until everything loaded.

I sneaky sneak around them all the time..... confused by this post.

First off I want to give praise to the game especially being in its alpha stage of development. I love the game's concept, graphics, and attention to all the little details in such a big space. The thing that just drives me nuts is fighting, either armed or not. Unarmed - It's a little rock'em-sock'em basic. The 'lag' between punches or knowing you've been hit is really bad as well. Killing two zombies last night after they fell down dead I then registered myself being hit. In fact one required bandages! I really don't think lag should be an issue in 2014 :) Armed - Hitting a zombie with a sickle..well should be more eventful and painful. Hitting a zombie with anything in the game besides a stick should be more eventful and take a lot less effort.. blows to the back of the head should probably split it open or at least make them unconscious (if thats possible for a zombie). Last but not least I encountered an unarmed player who decided to fight me even though I had a crow bar. I was out in two punches even though I registered two crow bar hits... Just a little strange I apologize if this looks like a rant! I just wanted to share my experiences and see what others think.

I finally got a weapon! and was on my way to another town and spotted a deer stand. I climbed the ladder to find nothing inside of it....started to climb down and glitched out missing the ladder to fall 5 feet to my death.

Awesome thats exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for the help

btw001 - I guess I got lucky.. Lag hasnt been an issue since my first connection of 20Mb Up/down 5 years ago and certainly isnt an issue with my now gigabit fiber =) Plus my overkill nature ended up building a PC that can handle the game on the highest settings so I dont think thats contributing to my lag/combat issue. Being a console junky too I'm unfamiliar with the Arma series either so didn't know this gamed spawned from something that old! Either way, excellent idea and very cool game with a lot of potential... I'm just excited to see if combat will improve. Confirmation from a developer of the game or possibly a road map to improve these features would be interesting to find out. Thanks for the input.
