Shotty still causes crashes for me and everyone I play with, so something still not 100% with them.

True

What's not the shotgun? I pick one up and the game crashes every couple of minutes. I drop the shotgun and the game never crashes. I base my theory on the process of elimination and the fact that the devs said it was bugged and I've no reason to think they fixed it. What's you're theory?

1. Make sure you have space in your inventory to switch. Takes getting used to but persevere. 2. The map isn't 50 miles across, and yes car parts are meant to be hard to collect. It isn't GTA 3. Zombies can sometimes teleport. This is a new glitch which will no doubt be fixed soon. Zombies have always been a bit quirky in dayz. 4. Just use first person for compass, it's a button click. 5. Meh 6. Work for me 7. Bandages definitely spawn on medical buildings, keep looking 8. Currently bugged, but still simple to figure out whether it's low or high pop using server search settings. 9. It happens, but don't carry shotgun just yet, it's bugged. 10. Trust me, no rain is better than constant rain. In summary, this is game preview.

No I think you can still do this. I never did as I never got that far into the game. To be honest though, in response to the OP, what difference does it make. If a server is full, your mate can't join whether it's server locked characters or not. A full server is a full server regardless. But it stops the server hoppers.

Yeah this is what I used to do so I'm assuming you still can but haven't tried today. Like I say, I remember having to very cautiously lean into the open elevator shaft to get the climb ladder prompt. It feels like you're about to fall down the shaft but you do get the prompt. Not sure if this will be harder at the moment because you can't change shoulder view in third person.

Hmm, i was in an apartment yesterday funnily enough looking for tents but didn't bother going upstairs. I remember it being quite fiddly getting onto the ladder for the final climb up. I can't imagine why they would stop people getting up there. Maybe something changed with the hitbox for the stairs making it tricky to get up?

Yes, zombies are more challenging now which is good, but the teleport bug will hopefully get addressed soon

You have to hold the item you're repairing in your hand and then press B to combine with duct tape, etc.

Yeah, i find loads in train cars

Which stairs have an invisible wall, the broken ones at the bottom?

Ah, haven't tried since last update, but you certainly could get up there till recently. I'll try next time I'm down that way.

I recently found a barrel and carried it to where I wanted it and have been storing things in it. I logged off and came back on the next day. The barrel is still there but a couple of items are missing so I decided to move it to hide it somewhere else but it won't let me pick it up again. The only prompt I get is to open or close it. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, as soon as that sun does below the horizon, I find somewhere to hole up and organise my inventory, eat, drink etc till sunrise.

I don't think I've been on a server yet that has been so full I couldn't join it, but I suppose it could happen. If every server you joined gave you a new character you could all pick a server that was only maybe a medium pop server. But this issue isn't unique, this happens in other games with server locked characters, like Ark. It's better than having server hoppers.

What do you mean by sealed off? Do you mean the hatch at the roof is locked now?

Ok, so this barrel... I've emptied it but it still won't let me pick it up. The lid is off and the only prompt I get is to hit X to put the lid in. When I do this, nothing happens and the lid will not go back on. I get no dpad option to pick it up and I've even tried transferring it to my hands on the inventory screen, but nothing works. At this point I am now assuming this is a bug, but not sure what's caused it.

Hmm, not sure but I don't seem to get ill from drinking dirty water any more. Since the chlorine tablets stopped working I've just been drinking pond water and it doesn't have any adverse effects. Anyone else noticed this?

No, shotty still causes crash. I picked one up and was crashing every couple of minutes. Ditched it and never crashed again.

It's nice to have the option. Sometimes when I've looted a whole village and there's not a scrap of food, I like to be able to go catch a chicken and take it to the woods to cook it. Fishing just gives you another option. I'm happy with the content we have for now, there is plenty to do and different play styles catered for. I would just like to see stability and performance updates for a while now, and hopefully get the 'fluff' in the future.

I believe the game gets full 1.0 release on pc, not sure that console does though.

Ah, must just be a coincidence then.

I guess he means so you can tell what direction the players voice is coming from, as at the moment you can't.

I read somewhere that server hopping causes items to randomly disappear, though I only heard this and couldn't say if it was a thing for certain.

The 90 second cool down has been added to discourage server hoppers. This is a different issue.
