    PVP

    So bambis generally shoot on sight or rush you and attack. If they are experience they may avoid you. Many arent using mics so they justify that as shoot on sight. I've run across multiple people. 1 was very friendly, and we squared and went to the next town, until we both lagged out. Others have just waived. 1 came up to check my gear before walking away as my gear looked better. I've actually not been shot at yet. I know posting this jest adventure I go on I'm going to be shot and killed, but such is the game. I've actually killed quite a few but only when I've been fully geared. Most of my kills have been either in defense as I felt threatened because they stood there as I talked and they raised their gun so I shot first. Or have been with my sniper to practice because I spawned in on a place I was trying to loot and someone was just leaving that area. Either way. This is all the nature of the game. Think of a real zombie apocalypse, would you put your neck out and be trusting. If you show the trust first many will believe that you're trust worthy, but it's also a good bandit trick. Think real life. If this really happened, 80% wouldnt ask questions they know you want the loot. 20% are friendly. But that high number, the 80%, they give everyone purpose. To shoot at the people who shoot first.

    How do I change clothes?

    How would you change clothes in real life? Drop the one you are wearing first, correct?
  3. Thank you for this very insightful post about whether or not you have the full game, what region servers you are trying to enter, how many players per server you are entering, a list of server numbers. Are you crashing, are you frozen in queue. Can you enter a queue. Have you created an official bug on the bug tracker. Have you searched the forums.

    I had a great first run until...

    Well they boosted the server counts to accommodate the flood of people. Now they've cut back as they have a better estimate of the daily population, the va cut the servers in half. But I agree. Now they are all overpopulated or it's a massive queue. And there are some issues. But give it a week things will work out. I've had a few crashes today. They probably need to push an update, but it is the weekend. Give it until next weekend next week and we should be gravy. Happy surviving and good luck

    Xbox screen adjuster

    Perhaps check your tv/console safe zone settings?

    Compass

    The iZurvive app is an old map. And only used by novice survivalists. It is not an official bohemia app. Stop looking for shortcuts and play the game like it was supposed to be played. If you think navigating a beautiful game with nothing but your wits is not fun. Sorry but you've been playing too much fortnite. What did you expect from a hardcore survival game. Ever wonder why experienced players call new people bambis? Tbh I'm a friendly and bandit hunter, but if I came across you in game and heard you complaining instead of asking how to better yourself, I'd put you out of my misery and not bother looting your body because I'd already be moving back into the woods with my mosin. Half the bambis only complain that this is too hard. Took me 2 hours to get the basics. 5 hours in I knew my way around the area I was in. 15 hours in I knew generally a quarter of the map and the best loot spots for me. I walked across the map for 3 hours in the woods, came back to my area no problem. 20 hours in and I've been fully kitted 5 times, and I'm fully kitted on 2 accounts I play on. 1 is helping people at the beach, and the other is off hunting bandits. It's a fantastic game. If you're willing to put in the effort

    A small list of bugs

    To answer all your questions... it's a beta. Relax. Submit official bugs. 1. Inventory is a known bug. But in real life if you were swapping out bags you would have to unload one and reload the next. 2.thats a personal problem. 3.doesnt matter if it's useful. Sure it's a tooltip. But would you know from looking at a gun whether it takes 7.65x39, 7.65x45 or 7.56x54 rounds? No. Why should it tell you? Experiment. Find out. And after playing around know what guns use what ammo types. 4.items in inventory not showing picture is a known bug. Check out the pinned post about known bugs. 5.didnt even know roll was in game 6.this applies for all items. Put ammo in your hand. Hover over item in inventory. Press b. Auto combines. It's not PC so you cant drag and drop. I'd imagine it's TRUE inventory combinations and moving is part of the micromanagement function. 7. Too early for night gameplay. Coming in the future.

    That's brutal man, but take it upon yourself as a lesson. Note to self, dont climb up ladders in DayZ. Lol. Hit a few military outposts. Bam. You'll be back to kit at no time

    Is SVD present on Xbox servers?

    Both are in the game. I've found an AKM and Mosin Scope. Seen photos of SVD at crash sites

    Please reduce the need to drink and feed

    Sorry man, but the food and water works just fine. I admit I died by starvation when I first got fully kitted. Mp5 with mags, full gear, etc. But i then tweaked my mentality. Get full food and water first, carry 4 cans of food and 2 bottles on me at all times. The guns fell into place. Everyone that is complaining about this needs to break away from the mentality that this is another game. It's a hardcore survival simulator. If you didnt do your research and know that this is what the game was, that's your fault. Just be thankful when you leave the server you dont lose food :) Also here is a pro tip. Stay away from big citys at the beach. They are always looted. Get to a cluster of houses that you can loot in under 2 min. Loot, swap to a low pop server. And keep repeating until you're good.
