The zombie sounds have been messed up since I've been playing so it's not your headset. It bugs the hell out of me too.

I wear helmets for trying to survive a headshot heh. I don't sport them because I'm looking to cause trouble. In a world with people who KOS for no reason, it's best to be prepared I say. If you let someone get close enough to hit you in the head with any melee weapon, you should get knocked out. A sharpened, pointy stick should easily do the trick. The melee system is a little finicky so I try not to even do it unless I have to.

Nothing really unbalanced about not being aware of your surroundings and getting killed by a freshie. Just because you have a gun doesn't mean you are invincible. I've never had a problem of switching weapons and my guy stops. If you are running, he should do it on the move. If you are running while using your hotkey and your guy stops, report it.

Is there something I need to do to get the server list to work correctly? With the newui, it doesn't show player count / ping / locked servers. It's also not highlighting the selected server.

I believe he meant you cannot stick a pot inside a protector case / ammo can. I guess the problem is still in where you can't stick barrels into trees to hide them and be able to access them. Haven't been keeping up with the forums a lot since I haven't been playing and didn't want to sort through 100's of pages from exp heh.

Ahh gotcha. I haven't played in a bit on exp, not even sure if I've tried to repair stuff yet. Noted.

Like the feedback reports? Perhaps it was already reported? That's my only guess or it's already known?

When you repair something with the sewing kit and it doesn't show it repaired, drop it on the ground and reequip it and it should update. That happens on stable for me as well sometimes.

Have you been alt tabbing out a lot? I find this happens to me when I alt tab out frequently to look at a map or other things outside of the game. The graphics will turn to crap until I exit and restart the game. This has been happening, exp and stable for me.

Looting items helps respawn new stuff. No need to leave a bunch of garbage for the next person. It's beneficial to both parties. If I'm looking for saline / morphine, I'm going to loot up all the medical scrubs, epi pens, blood bags etc so next time I make my rounds, something that I need will possibly be there.

Been there awhile and yea, good for a laugh when I first saw it heh. I found a bunch of zombies in the cities north of Cherno.

It's impossible to get hydrated from the water pump without a container. The energy / hydration bars aren't different. The user interface size is just set to a smaller setting .. at least with the old UI, not sure if you are talking about the new UI or what.

What's even more of a bug is that those dead guys radios still work heh. A guy got killed logging in on the coast, he was dead standing still but could still hear radio communication coming from his body.

I believe my friend tried last night with no luck. Duct tape only repairs to the max amount of that specific status. IMT or someone posted how it exactly works. There are stages of damaged / worn / pristine etc. like percentages. It can take so much until it goes to the next status. So duct taping will basically put it at it's best in that particular status. So for example, 90%-100% is pristine, 60-80% is damaged, it will repair it all the way to 80%, just below worn. The leather sewing kit, I believe, will repair the packs to worn status. I think if you painted the gorka helmet it used to go to pristine. Or adding the visor .. something like that.

I ran passed a guy in Balota who tried to talk to me but I kept running. He was like come on, I'm not going to shoot you .. I said good for you .. as I kept running and looking back, I noticed he was kneeling and sure enough he shot at me heh. Luckily it's easy to bob and weave to dodge bullets. Other random stuff: I found a Red 9 buttstock and threw it and it bounced like a rubber ball. The smoke grenades bounce a bit too.

I had a horde of 15 zombies that I wrangled up last night. They are pretty slow. I had to jog / walk backwards to allow them to catch up. There is usually one front runner and then rest of them start to just shuffle very slowly. I managed to pick up 13 from the Novoselky area and trained them to cherno where I picked up a few more. It was kinda fun just making them tag along like they were my pets. But then some douche bags with Ak's ended up killing me .. ending my experiment. During a PVP incident, something weird happened after I shot my mosin. It took me out of ADS and looked like he was doing the bolt action or loading a round or something in third person .. it ended up getting me killed. The gun had ammo in it since I reloaded it a minute or two before this happened.

Once the gun is loaded, it still shows the distance in red like it's not loaded. At least for the mosin. The good news is you don't have to empty your weapon to fully load it if you only shot one round etc.

Just restarted 6pm central time.

Items that aren't showing in your vicinity, you CAN pick up using the take feature. You'll just have to find the sweet spot heh. I should've tried harder when I found that m65 jacket.

In trees, like the big evergreen or pine whatever, if you get near the trunk and drop the barrel to where it's hidden, it won't let you access in vicinity. I only tried it on one tree though. I tried putting it into the smaller tree and it just set down outside of the tree basically. Just tried the orange bushes, same issue. It won't show in vicinity until you chop it down.

Putting barrels in trees makes the barrel not accessible. It won't show up in the vicinity, you'll have to chop the tree down to access it.

The animations do work, but it doesn't say "you have drunk from the water pump" or whatever and your status will not change. Spamming it goes through the animation but also letting the animation play out does not change your status so you're not actually drinking. I seen items on the ground / inside houses but they are not showing up in my vicinity. Doesn't show the "take" message either.

Water pumps not working. You can fill containers, but not use the "drink from fountain" feature. Unfortunately that's all I could manage to find in my 15 minutes of playing, gotta go to class! ARGH!

Soft skills or not .. as long as there are guns out there, be prepared to die once in awhile.

Sporter head shots, unconscious all day long. Nothing like you described will be added any time soon I would say. I think the main goal at the moment is to get the game running as stable and smoothly as possible.
