I was sitting on the side of a hill, ate two berries, stood up and started to jog ... CTD! Pattern?

Newb Alert! Can anyone tell me when rabbits were added to the game? No, I'm not talking about the dead ones that spawn into your snare. I'm talking about the ones that go hippity hop down the bunny trail. I saw one this morning in Guglovo. I never saw one before; I guess I need to start paying more attention.

She may as well bitch about your gaming, otherwise she'll just have to think of something else to complain about.

Here is some good news for Barnabus:

I'm a big fan of the hunting backpack. I'd be nice if we could craft something like that. Even if it took more than one pelt, it would definitely be worth the effort.

I was just thinking that myself. It would look very snazzy!

Well done, sir!

Same here. I'm sure that I've used small stones on axes, but I never tried to repair a knife before. The combat knife can save you two inventory slots, so I was trying to hold on to it. I'll try again later tonight, or tomorrow morning and report on the results.

I just had a close encounter with a sheep, so animals are spawning. I don't think that we should expect dogs until Q4, but someone did find that foxes were already in the game files. There haven't been any confirmed sightings though. Although it sounds like Odin may have gotten a good look at one.

OK, stop right there. Where did this "fox incident" occur? Pictures, or it didn't happen!

I was camping a small town in 0.56 Exp and I was looting the hell out of it. I didn't notice any significant loot re-spawns until after 48 hours had elapsed. At that point, I was seeing pretty significant spawns.

Very interesting, thanks! After my inventory got jacked, I didn't try again after I re-logged. I tossed the stone and moved on. I still have the knife, though, so I'll try again the next time that I happen upon a dry stream bed.

You're right about that, of course. The problem was that I was in Stary Yar at the time. There are no stream beds up that way. I was climbing all over the cliff face and even with all of that rock surrounding me, I couldn't find an area where I could get a prompt to search for a stone. That's when I whipped out the pick and then everything went rapidly down hill from there.

I just had an incident today. My combat knife was damaged, so I thought that I'd try to find a stone to see if I could repair some of the damage. I cut a chunk of stone with a pick and brought that into my inventory. I then took the knife in my hands and then I found that the stone was frozen in my inventory. I tried moving items around, but nothing worked. I tried to drop the FNX on the stone (to trade places), but that caused the FNX to disappear. I moved some other items around and then other things disappeared and my entire inventory froze. I re-logged and everything was back to normal. By the way, the stone didn't work. I must need a small one from the beach.

I noticed you on that server. I get my best 1st person pings there. I think that I was in Tissy at the time. Hell, we were practically neighbors! I'm sure that you're right about the animals. I have a few favorite haunts North of "the highway," but I've never seen any animals up there. If we could get a few spawns up that way, it would be the perfect place to ride out the apocalypse. Until that happens, I'll just have to content myself with fishing.

I logged on this morning and within 10 seconds I have a message that the server will re-start in 60 seconds. Just then, I hear someone coming in a V3S. I duck for cover, just as he goes blasting by. I jump up and I'm hot on his trail. He's heading West out of Sinistok. There's no way out for the truck, except off of the end of the map, so I figure on getting a good position to camp the truck, so that I have wheels when the server comes back up. Well, he either didn't know, or didn't car about the re-start, because all I can figure is that he didn't park in time. Sadly, my luck hasn't improved any since then. I'm finding good stuff, but I just can't seem to put any combinations together. I found four tents yesterday. When I decided to set up a camp this morning, they are nowhere to be found. Finally, I went to a reliable tent spawn area and I found one! :) Three minutes later, I climbed a deer stand and the tent didn't wait around for me. :( I found a half dozen FNX pistols but no mags, nor ammo. I found plenty of 9mm, but nothing chambered for it. Same issue with .357. I have plenty of .308, but no Winchester. I found a single shot rifle and some 7.62x39, but I never did find any animals to hunt. I looked around for a SKS and the DayZ gods frowned on my plans, yet again. Finally I found a Blaze, but it doesn't have the follow-up capability that the Winchester does. Still, it's a little more confidence inspiring than the single shot. I gotta say, I do like the sights on the Blaze. I don't think that I ever had one at night before. I'm still carrying the 74U that I found within minutes of spawning yesterday, but no mags. Honestly, it wouldn't take much to make me happy. I'm a man of simple tastes. If I could just find a SKS to prop up the pristine PU scope that I found, why I'd be as right as rain! Is it just me, or does anyone else hear a constant noise that sounds like a broom sweeping? It's getting on my last freakin' nerve! I was wandering around in the far Northwest, looking to see if there had been any activity with the planned military base. Finally, I had to take my headphones off. I can still hear the noise through the speakers, but for some reason it's not nearly as grating. I headed back to civilization (Tissy) and had a look around. I also checked out the camp, up on the hill. I went over to Stary Yar. There's only one other person on the server and there's not a soul around (or so I thought). I'm at the industrial area on the East side of Stary and I'm munching on some rice inside a tool shed, while I ponder my lack of a tent. You see, I wanted to grow some pumpkins, but I just don't have anywhere to store them. So my decision is whether to keep my pristine fire ax, or swap it for the pristine pick ax that I just found. I like the pick ax as a melee weapon and there is the added benefit that I can use it to dig holes (and get worms for fishing), but everyone knows that the fire ax is the shizzle. I munch on some more rice. Finally, I decide to go the military base East of Kamensk, to see if I can find some mags for the 74U, or a SKS. Farming and fishing can wait. I head out of the tool shed, round the corner and come nose to nose with "T" who blurts out, "Sorry!" as I reach for my Blaze. I don't have any interest in bustin' cap into "T", but I have no comms without my headphones and I also don't want to get shot due to any misunderstanding. I quickly back away and increase the distance between us. I circle around and grab my headphones. Then, with the Blaze at the ready, but not raised, I try to figure out where "T" is hiding. Eventually, I'm thinking this guy is pretty damn good! I can't find him anywhere!!! Nope, I spoke too soon. He logged. I guess he had to go and change his undies. :P So, I'm 0 for 2 today, trying to find someone to play with. Oh well, some days you're the bug and some days you're the windscreen.

That's what this game is missing, ACME Rocket Powered Skates. They're endorsed by Wile E. Coyote, so you know that they have to be good! As seen on TV.

I wouldn't mind a piece of that action. I've been looking for a M65 jacket all day and I'm still looking. I don't dispute that they are out there, but I haven't seen one. I've also seen a grand total of one hunting jacket today and that was after several hours of looking! I think that it's safe to say that the loot isn't very evenly distributed.

Mags are usually the hard part. It's all down hill for you, now! :)

New status report has been posted.

Dinner bell, more like!

A couple of months back Eugen recommended the -dologs parameter and I developed a random crash. I submitted a report and crash dump to the feedback tracker and I was told that -dologs can cause crashes on some systems. That's when I stopped trying to second guess this game. I don't run any start-up parameters any more and my machines have been pretty stable since.

I'm sure that I had visited 20 of those general stores in 0.56 and I never found a damn thing. On second thought ... maybe it was the same store 20 times? Hell, I don't know. All I know is that the're always empty!!! >:(

You're not imagining things. I jumped back in after a scheduled server re-start and I immediately saw a 74U re-load animation.

- the new school building looks very nice, I like the inner yard and the size very much I had the exact same issue with pumpkin slices on the last 0.56 build.
