Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect anything that isn't explicitly stated as being resolved in the patch notes to be fixed.

Zalic already realized this and offered an apology, no need to pursue further on this point.

I found a large tent at a heli crash site, but no luck finding medium tents in the wild. However, I did come across a base that had a couple of medium tents cleverly (glitchingly) pitched into the high ground such that the back half was glitched into the ground and I couldn't interact with it and break it down. Try hunting for them in a persistence off server for better luck probably.

All we need now is a generator-powered skeet/ clay pigeon thrower.

Putting feelings of developer condemnation or support aside, my 2-cents is that if you find the game fun as-is, then by all means go for it and get the map. If the bugs frustrate you to the point that they take away from the experience too much, then stay away from it and wait for a later build. I personally have enjoyed Livonia. While many of the public servers I have tried seem to be heavy on PVP in the new-spawn areas, I have been having a good time exploring in a FPP server. I especially appreciate the detail provided in the Livonia forests as they just seem to have more varied vegetation/ terrain to me.

I personally prefer 1st person only servers. However, I can see that 3rd person can have its place in that you can see your own character in whole and admire all the goodies you've horded in your travels, and do so while moving in the environment you are in rather than just via an image in your inventory screen (and be able to answer for yourself the age old question: does this field backpack make me look fat from behind?), it also gives you a bit better perspective for your surroundings as opposed to the tunnel vision you get in 1st person mode (I personally disagree with the commentator in the video above on this point, but reasonable minds differ). However, as awalsh47 pointed out, it can be abused via corner/ wall peaking which is unfortunate. As the video points out, it is an age-old debate that has been made ad nauseam 🙂

Down for a fix per the development Twitter.

This for sure. If you are able to hold someone up then they've got less of a chance to be anything but friendly. While being the one to talk will put you at a disadvantage in the wider scheme of things, hopefully you will have flanked the other person first which would buy you that split second to counter that disadvantage if they don't seem like they want to play ball (but it is a risk either way). However, even if it ends in bloodshed, I have always found this sort of interaction to still have been more satisfying than any camp 'n snipe scenario.

I tend to agree with the statements above and with Lex's double-edged sword analogy. Perhaps one option for you might to just be patient and stick with the game long enough to see perhaps (as a console player I am unsure what is out there) what private server admins controls over game mechanics are available to customize a server for the play style that you are more looking for. PC modded servers may help as well.

Also experiencing this. Super frustrating, especially after loosing connection or experiencing a server reset shortly after actually getting in. I stopped bothering to try to log into the FPP server I was on as I have no chance of getting in unless it is super early in the morning it seems.

I second the good tips provided here. While I sympathize that it is frustrating that there is a general lack of variety of potential loot at military bases, unfortunately, that is the way things are right now on public servers. As Kaj suggested, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a FNX or SG5 with associated accessories and ammo in these areas (also, grenades seem to be really plentiful, at least for me). However, if you really want high-end military rifles, you'll have better luck questing for stashes and bases in the wild (though I have had some luck finding some in woods surrounding big military zones/ pvp areas). You might win the lottery like I did and find a rifle at a heli crash site, but don't count on it. Regardless, running straight to one of the big western bases is setting yourself up for death, disappointment, or likely both.

All good, was trying to be funny as well. The truth is I have an unhealthy habit of trying to find isolated cashes. May be off topic but I do appreciate the subtle variations in terrain in the game to make crossing distances more enjoyable

I play only on one server and do LOTS of hiking. Who needs cars anyway when there’s so much to see lol :) happily boots and shoes are so common there’s no need to waste resources repairing them.

The true question is not how many hours you have clocked, but how many pairs of shoes you have worn out 🙂

I had this happen in a particular spot on one server that I was on, it would sound with no particular pattern which also freaked me out at first (in an area of the treeline next to the field just on the northwest edge of the Pavlovo base). Even stranger, when I skipped over to the opposite side of the field, I kept hearing a repetitious "axe-chop" sound as if someone was chopping away at a tree. I think we are all just going crazy.
