I'm currently downloading 1.7.1.2 and I wanna live stream me testing it out. I'd like you all to come and watch so I can test out my new stream and video options I've set for a higher FPS. Help me out if you would :) http://www.twitch.tv/avalontreman

Thanks for those who joined in and watched! It was fun, and next time I'm gonna try streaming at a lower FPS, see if that fixes the slowdowns. Thanks again everyone :3

I know I just posted a story, but I've got another one. I died after being shot at. I had a shotgun with ammo and some other stuff, and it sucks I lost it, because now I had to start again with nothing. For the first time. Time to try out the new cruelty on this patch. So I woke up and immediately zombies were all around me. They moaned loudly and I ran like hell. I ran towards what looked like a dock with a crane. Kinda hard to remember. I was able to evade them by hiding in a small shack. There I found a crossbow with one bolt. "Better than nothing." I took them both and walked up a hill to get my bearings. I saw a town not too far away, but I could see it populated with zombies. I was careful to go the long away (not down the middle of the street) and I saw a building. A school I believe. There were also a couple of zombies between me and it. No way was I gonna go out there and get spotted. I waited til they were pretty much looking away when gunshots rang out. Zeds were freakin' out and running every which way. I took that chance and ran up the ladder on the side. From then on, I don't really remember much. I was trying to scavenge stuff from the top floor and didn't find much. Another crossbow bolt, maybe. Then I heard a voice. He was taunting another player who apparently shot some more and was being chased. I yelled out "Who's out there?" He said, "I hear you, I'm just watching a person being chased." He asked my name. "Avalon." I told him. "Yours?" "Gin Rummy." Some sort of alias, I imagine. He met me up on the top floor and asked me how I was. I told him I had a couple of crossbow bolts but that's about it. He said he dropped a Makarov downstairs with full ammo. We started goin' down when I zombie reached up and over the stairwell wall and hit me. I started bleeding and went upstairs. He asked if I had a bandage and I only had one, so I used it up. We then heard gunshots outside the school. He had the Lee Enfield, so he went up top to find out what it was. I went out off to the side to try and spot the target. We only saw a female survivor who was bleeding heavily. I looked on and felt bad. I kept talking back and forth with Gin when I heard a gunshot, and then silence. "Gin? You there?" I went up to the roof and saw him sprawled on his back. I tried checking for a pulse but I could see the blood from his head. He was dead. I looked away for a second, make sure I wasn't the next target, then looked back. "Thank you, brother. You helped me out when you could've shot me. You didn't deserve this." I open up his pack. He had some good stuff, and I couldn't just leave it there. "Now, you'll help me in death." I took his Lee with some ammo, and holstered his M1911 with 3 mags. He also had some food and bandages. I looked ahead to another building and heard more gunfire. I looked and saw a mass of zombies trying to get through a door. I took aim and went to pull the trigger. Then I had a thought. "Man, if this guy is the one who shot Gin, no way would I help him. And if it were me, I wouldn't get helped either." I looked around to see if possibly the shots came from elsewhere, but there was no mistaking. I watched and listened. Then I heard a crack and whizzing. That's when I took my leave. I proned all the way to the ladder. I went back down and went inside. Third floor was clear. I kept an eye where the gunshots came from and didn't see or hear anything. I went down to the second floor and found a body. I opened up his pack. "This guy is loaded!" I said out loud as I took his watch, map, knife, and his pack. A Czech Backpack. It was full of more ammo for my Lee, and some medical supplies. He also had a coke. I took what I could. I went into an adjacent room and found the Mak Gin talked about earlier. I contemplated whether I should keep the M1911 that only had three mags, or if I should get the Mak with full ammo. I figure the Mak was the safest option, even if it was less powerful. I then went into a room and barricaded it and took a rest, not forgetting who helped me out the most. Gin Rummy, if you're reading this, thanks for all your help. You're awesome.

I've been onto a couple of servers, and one of the servers I was on had like this lag, except it wasn't latency lag, more like... control lag. My reaction time in game was slower and I couldn't turn around without it being choppy. I was wondering if this wass related to my location to the server (that was a suggestion from someone in game) or if it was something else. Thanks in advance for the answers :)

But it wasn't an "every server" thing. Just US99 (The RT Server, as I was told). On the other servers it was smooth as ex-lax. Would this guide still apply?

I've noticed that occasionally players names will pop up and sometimes they won't. I don't know if this is related to something ingame or is it set in server options (I've been to a couple different servers)? And if it's the latter, is there a way to see if that setting is turned on in the server or not? Because I actually made some friends in game (sketchy, yes, but they haven't shot me) and I'd like to be able to ID them from far away. Thanks in advance :)

This is my first life story. I had to respawn after what I believe was a bugged spawn. I had run into hill after hill with no signs of life, so respawn it was. I woke up near the coast as everyone does. I started walking off to the right and came upon a small town. I could see a small town with walking dead all around. I made my way down the main street, no real buildings around. I don't think I found anything of real use. Did find a pistol with ammo, but that too was bugged, (was hanging in the air) so I couldn't make any use of it. I kept walking and I saw another town. I got on the horn and asked if anyone was in the town (Looking at the map with hindsight I'm sure it was Balota). Ruke came back, saying he was at the airfield. I was wary, but I could tell that it was getting night, and I knew I wouldn't last on my own. I saw him shooting at some zombies. I was still wary, but he didn't shoot at me or anything, so I didn't shoot him. He told me that there was an Army Medical Camp nearby, and he could get my a rifle and some ammo. At this point I thought, "If he really wanted to shoot me, he wouldn't try and get me a better weapon and ammo." He led me to the camp and it was so dark. He had the flashlight and I couldn't see shit. He had me stay up in a sniper tower while he looked around. My heart was racing and I could hear the moans of the undead. He didn't find anything and helped me back to the airfield. We looked around again and didn't really find anything. It was at this point we ran into another survivor, Steinhager. I was still wary, but I can't remember what weapon he had. After a while, we went back and Ruke went into the same sniper tower I was in earlier, and found an AKS-74u with RDS. Unfortunately no ammo. After this back and forth for a while, we got attacked by someone who was being chased. After we took him out (he shot at us first), we took out the horde. We were all gettin' tired so I took shelter in the ATC and logged out. This is where the story really ends, because today I logged in on my own and went back to the med camp and got shot and killed. Oh well. Live and learn. :sleepy:
