    Runnin' on empty.... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485944056 Also, found my first boar in .58. Can't believe I saw him in the middle of the night. Just got lucky. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485944104

    Anyone else notice that V3S fuel gauges no longer work?

    Do police stations no longer spawn loot? I ran from Svet around the NW corner, down to Pavlovo. Hit Svet, Novo, Severo, NP and Vybor. Not a stitch of loot. SC02

    Haha! What I lacked in quantity, I think I made up for with quality: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485515241 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485515309 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485515346 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485515358 Almost all items in that collection were pristine. I can be a little OCD at times.

    Spawned near Svet. Found a "Tent Car" that I carried around (in 1PP no less) for over an hour. Finally located a battery and plug. Who-Hoo!! Ran up to Karmenovka to see if the truck was there. Score! Can't fit the tent in the truck? WTF? I carried this POS for no reason? I stash the tent. Get in the car and head to my planned base way out west. I'll just have to run my ass all the way back over for the tent. Wrecked the truck less than 1km away. Just not my day.

    Glowplug? I had 6 batteries and 6 plugs. Oh the HUMANITY!!!

    My wife married me as an ambitious workaholic. Then I retired at 38 to sail, cook, travel, play on the PC, read, lounge by the pool. I pretty much just play around all day. Not sure she likes the change as much as me! :D

    Be my guest. Don't know if it will work though. Again, a lot of my 4,500 hours are this PC sitting open to the server list all night long while i sleep, or all day long while I run errands. Basically, it's a result of my being too lazy to wait 15 seconds for DayZ to launch when I do want to play.

    Steam says I have around 4,500. BUT, I frequently leave this computer open to the server list while I do different stuff on my work PC. Still, I bet I have close to 1000 hours in-game. Been playing since the update with the SKS. Sometimes, when I can't sleep, I'll get up and play for a couple of hours in the middle of the night.

    Me, too. Just log in to find myself on the Berenzino beaches. Does this mean my Truck lot out west is gone?

    D'OH! I was just about to hop on.

    Old pic, but the police gear was one of my favorite looks. I patroled Prison Island for a few days murdering everyone I could (stable) a while back. Fun. Until someone hopped in behind me and ended my tyranny. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=438443819

    I always leave notes in my tents. And I leave a pen and extra paper as well. Unfortunately (?), I don't think anyone has ever found my tents.

    Hats and gloves definitely have an impact. I overheat much more quickly wearing them. Don't know about summer/winter gear - never thought to pay attention to that (assuming it was just a color variant) - think I have some variety in one of my tents - will experiment if so.

    I'm up to 7 trucks, but still only have 3 measly tents. I guess I know why now! :D

    I love driving at night. Does anyone else always make sure they're going full speed over the wooden bridge at Kamensk? Saw a whole venison freezer here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485226016 Once they have vehicles worked out, if you need tools to make your truck run, then the cargo will have to be substantially bigger to make it a decent payoff. The V3S currently holds slightly more than I can carry on my body in real life. Right now, you can carry way more on you than you can fit in a truck. The truck should be a huge cargo hauler - probably 3-4x what it is now.

    I'm on SC02 (1PP). the issues I see are not tents or items from tents disappearing - although I did have 2 trucks disappear - but rather, nothing else is disappearing. I opened some ammo boxes on Friday; dropped the resulting pieces of paper on the ground on Friday - they're still there as of a few minutes ago.

    Also seems to be an issue with item clean up. Some things I dropped shortly after the last update are still lying there. That's way too long.

    Well, I got my 2 stolen trucks back. No one has returned to the scene of the crime either. Still wondering if they despawned somehow - keeping some loot in each truck now to see if that prevents them from floating away (assuming they weren't stolen - but if they were, the thieves left maxed out AKMs, MP5s, Mosins, 1911s, car batteries and glow plugs). BTW, how do you guys do that spolier thing with your images? Thanks, Tatanko! ETA: And lest anyone start to give me shit about not having them nicely lined up, do you know how hard it is to back up correctly in 1PP?

    I've said it before, but they need to do something about driving in 1PP. It's like drivign with half your windows blacked out. If I didn't have so much practice in trucks, I'd be crawling around the map. Your point of view needs to be lowered quite a bit.

    Someone stole 2 of my trucks and DID NOT sign the guestbook. Savages. Oddly, they stole the trucks that had nothing in them. And didn't touch (or find) the tents. Is it possible that empty trucks despawn after a while of not being touched? They were my 2 oldest empty trucks. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=484617833

    Did you pull that off solo? Wow!

    Does anyone have a good read on the length of time it takes an item to despawn? I took some ruined tires off a truck yesterday (don't recall the time - but think morning (for UTC -6:00 timezone)) and see that they are still in the field where I left them. Similarly, I saw some shotgun shells in a particular building, but didn't touch them. They have remained in place for well over 24 hours.

    I had something similar happen. Was switching to a SPOSN from a drybag. I was moving items into the former (on the ground) from the latter (on my back) and switched packs - before the dry bag was empty - by dragging the SPOSN onto my toon in inventory view. Both packs stayed on my character, I ran a way down the road, but when I tried to move an item to my drybag, the bag and item disappeared. I didn't go back to see if it was where I found the SPOSN.

    The former in simple houses. The latter in the military "tent" at Myshinko base.
