  1. Some footage captured from .44 through .60.  What does it have?  well, spider zombies, loot splosions, infinite backpacks, unicorn mosins, booby traps, flying zombies,  birds in the air, the old NEAF, and much, much more.

    someone mentioned running the game through the steam library instead of using shortcuts.. have you tried this?

    Yep, tried it.  Its not something I can replicate.  I might go 3-4 days no problems at all and then I might have one day where I will have 3-4 during a session and then no more problems after that.  Its weird, hoping the next patch will alleviate it.


  3. Any time I have a companion (or myself) cry out in pain in an attack or log in - I repeat to them "don't forget - you have bone damage - splint every 20 minutes for the next hour"  Those that have followed my advice - don't get one shotted or cry out in pain during log-in.  It might be overkill with the splinting but, hey you can't be too cautious and it eliminates the possibility of death by bone damage.


  4. I can't even pinpoint possible causes of my crashes they are so random and can be tied to so many other factors.  Doesn't matter if it is on 32 or 64.  Some days are fine, others plagued by crashes.  I've had them accessing inventory on myself, sedan, bus, or another player.  Had it also when getting out of V3s and Sedan and once while in the middle of driving.  The only thing in common - It happens at the worse possible time.   


  5. My buddy and I were at a tent we had placed, decided to move it and just as we packed it up we noticed two players running about 150 meters in front of us.  They were on their way to two tents they had placed nearby.  We watched them for about ten minutes and made our move.  We gunned them down and took their donation of two additional tents, additional weapons, and food.  It was a lucrative day and we found a new more secure location for our camp in the process.


  6. You are not alone.

    Those pelts you found may be from an earlier encounter with another player, I can't verify 100% but, I believe pelts may linger around a bit longer than the lard, guts, and bones.  I have found only pelts on the ground in the areas of wolf spawns - no bones, no guts, no lard - just the pelts.  I just haven't had a chance yet to compare the persistence of the remains from my kills.

  7. Yeah, they are tough and I am enjoying it, except when you get the one shot kills on you.  happened to me twice the past two days.   One time I know it was due to low bone stat.  I had been splinted by my friends (they heard me cry out, but I didn't get any messages)  came back later in the day, had a zed charge me.  Whomp - one shot and dead.


  8. The longest that I have been unconscious was just shy of 7 min.  I was wounded and patched after 4 minutes.  I was just about to respawn when I returned in full black and white glory.  The longest I went bleeding with no assistance was 3 and a half minutes.   If it was from food poisoning and you have no one to help you, you're good as dead.


  9. As a true American gun enthusiast, I would love to see this implemented.  But, I don't know what kind of impact it would ultimately have on the game play or how practical it would be.  Of the rounds listed, my experience in the field has been a minimal difference between the .308 and 30.06.  When I fire the .338 - HOLY COW (my neighbor has Lapua Magnum), the recoil is extreme when compared to the smaller cartridges, akin to firing the akm in game.  No matter which way you slice it these rounds have massive stopping power.  When on the range on in the field, I find myself using my AR-10 with .308 as opposed to my bolt action springfield .30-06 (could be that the AR is just sexier).
