Guys. There is a fix for this. (Oh god I can already see the intensification) Well, let me be more specific: A potential possibly temporary fix. All you have to do is vault once you reach a new level in a building, or in a building where this bug can occur (many buildings with different levels). Vaulting (or stepping over), so I hear, tends to update your position or reset it to the correct level, which will reduce the chance of the bug or even remove it completely FOR THAT LEVEL ONLY. Obviously, if you enter a new level that is not ground level, do that again. By reports, some people said you can still get this bug. But that chance should be way way way lower than on average without doing that trick. Personal experience: I got this bug often. For example in the jail building in the bedroom, second floor near the beds. Or in one of the industrial multi-story buildings. Once I heard of this method I tried it out. And guess what? It did not happen to me since then, and I've been in many multi-level buildings and buildings where I'd get that bug before. In short: Vault or step over if you reach a new level above the ground in buildings, it should help you on that level. MASSIVE BEANS INCOMING, RIGHT? ... ... YO GUIZE? ANYONE? E: Laughing partially at OP for making a minor ragepost and showing a problem and then also saying the game would be gone from the PC. Now this possibly simple and easy fix is presented. Enjoy reinstalling it if you change your mind. Next time, try to wait for possible solutions before you do it.

Fun fact: When watching it for the first time I did not see the personality disorder thing in the title. Missing that + hearing "We" and so on in the video and seeing the titles "We ..." made me think there's actually two people in the video. I thought the other was simply behind him most of the time or not in view. Haha, oh wow. Embarassing, but nice plottwist™ anyway.

That was actually entertaining ... and not a sole kill montage. Good "story" vid :D E: Also

Haha, that was a good one. "Who's the fucker (now) ?" "You."

There is enough player induced horror, I think. Some bordering the supernatural depending on how you look at it.

So, pistol suppressors can be found in teddies, too? Sure? If so, then I must be out of luck. I raided about 2 dozen christmas trees and countless more teddies so far and only found west / east suppressors for rifles. The hell?

Hahaha, that ending. (I hope your char remained there for a bit and that he got you :P) Bandits / Psycho Killers must die!

Not sure what hardware has to do with it. Not that I'm an expert, but considering it popped up for most recently, I'm guessing software is at fault. Yeah, "combining" the threads would make sense. Apart from that, I suggest that people sit by a campfire totally dry for a while. Or make two campfires if that speeds up the process. It helped me (one campfire) after about 15 minutes or so, or various "I'm getting warmer" ticks to be precise.

If one campfire isn't enough, make two. Also, better safe than sorry so wring any wet clothing out.

(Short version at the end, you lazy folks) VCORP Science Division - Investigation Report "Handshake" Preliminary test shows success. Test was time consuming, however. Problem / Injury: Constant shaking of hands of individual Result -> Unable to operate many items in proper way, especially unable to operate long range or any weaponry in proper way, being cold constantly regardless of attire or location Failed tests: Splints, morphine-injector, Painkillers, food (being healthy), being in a non-cold (but not directly warm) environment for a prolonged period of time, warm clothing, relogging next to campfire without hot status, heatpack Required for latest possibly successful method: Campfire, patience (within 30 minutes or less), dry spot where rain does not reach if in wilderness and during rain - Report - There was constant raining on the test server. A spot next to a tree on the outskirts of a forest has been selected, a campfire was quickly made with sticks. Test subject and afflicted individual was of military origin with military grade equipment, CQF crew grade member. Condition has been observed for at least 24 hours prior to test. Subject took part in active combat with condition, neutralizing one bandit from close range with an assault rifle. Subject was unable to properly operate long range weapon, nor able to steadily use binoculars or likewise equipment. Equipment consisted of military grade clothing and other items such as berets and tops. It can therefore be noted that there were various clothing items present that could get wet without being worn directly. Whether this factors into the current problem and version is not entirely known. After igniting the campfire (sticks), subject began to wring out any wet clothing present repeatedly until sufficiently dry. Despite relatively warm clothing it took quite a while next to the campfire to warm up slowly. Any "hot" status was never reached. Eventually, shaking ceased. Estimated test time: 15 to 30 minutes. Most of the time was spent next to the campfire without weapons in hand. If and how fast the condition can reappear (and if it can be solved in this way or faster) remains to be seen. It is expected that being exposed to cold temperatures too long and / or being soaked in water - as can occur when drinking from water sources - may result in shaking that does not stop until being in warm environment for prolonged time. Short simple version, WOOP WOOP: Okay, basically, I got this crap after the patch I think, or maybe right before it? I cannot remember. I made a campfire, remained there for about 30 minutes (or a bit less) and continuously did the clothing wring stuff so that there was nothing wet remaining. Every "tick" next to the campfire I got a "I'm (slowly?) warming up" message. Not too slow, not too fast. After about 10 ticks or so (without getting more cold and wet again), perhaps 15 minutes or a bit more, the shaking was gone. Looking through a scope or binocs was okay. Unknown how fast it can reappear, probably being on cold servers too long in the wilderness or ... maybe a bit more likely ... drinking from ponds where you somehow end up soaked AND being on a more cold server. Unless any of you can come up with a better or clear explanation or more easy fix (or prevention) I suggest you should watch your clothing dryness when around water or when drinking from ponds. A heatpack did not help much by the way, maybe because of it lower quality.

My guess is that cold status is probably bugged, or in other words, mechanics of the heat / cold stuff. I imagine the shaking comes from being cold or freezing once, but never properly updates back. I had this before the patch once I think. Shaking without a popup. Using a campfire did help instantly. So far I have to try relogging to see if it helps. If not ... then probably the last way would be to get rid of the character. Might as well test the suicide option if you do.

The guy in the video said he got this bug when he tried to throw it. So I guess normal swinging would work?

It's an acceptable drawback, really. From "realism" POV you could argue that putting it over the often bigger backpack might make it stand out more. Okay, if it's flat or small then I guess... Well, maybe that is just the drawback of the improvised ghillie. Maybe military ones or so can offer a backpack or some pockets, if they ever add any. It's hard to get (without any other help), comes with some somewhat realistic drawbacks (heat, less space) and is somewhat balanced imo. It still does not make you invincible, but can help a lot.

This is just priceless and amazing!

Just skimming through this thread: You guys, sometimes it almost seems like some are "game scientists" or so. It should give this, it should be that. Well, from a realistic standpoint yadda yadda, but I see the basic things covered here. It's somewhat hard to get / rare, at least the more you want. It will give the proper heat values I'm certain (if not now then later). It still does not make you invincible, you could lose it any moment by almost any reason still.

Wasn't there some problem with tomatoes (from greenhouses or in general?) giving either no water or no energy? I remember someone saying that in TS when they were eating lots of them, but it made no big difference. Can someone confirm this further?

Interesting concept, will keep tabs on that. As for the head bob, Ramblin Hans, you can lower (or increase) it in the options of the game up to the point where it's hardly noticeable, if you use 1P.

I use 2 cents. Just my 2 cents.

I do think green masks (of any kind) do the trick. But it might be a nice addition to that.

You can't have it all, and besides, a backpack for a sniper / camo guy? Not really fitting. Bulky ones anyway.

I think we as a community should not label anything "troll" that goes somewhat against the core ideas of the genre or game. We should always consider that there are people out there that are totally new to this general concept or just have different favorite genres. With that in mind: I disagree, the core aspect is difficulty and survival. And that makes the game challenging by having to work for almost everything (besides pants, T-Shirt, shoes, a battery and flashlight). Or by having a lot of luck and finding valuable things quickly ... merely because another one left them behind.

I prefer (true) bandits over any KOSers. Some things I see almost seem retarded. At least or especially from a hero perspective, guys with no weapons and no provocation trying to banzai you. I guess they have nothing to lose, think you're some killer or just do it for fun? I have way more fun with player interaction (I still see enough action) than by pure KOSing. Doing that would be annoying anyway, as your death rate would be higher.

In a world with no more tap water left but (unclean) water sources all over, you like what you see? I don't! ------ Time to get real. Real with the real deal. Obviously, soon™ unclean water sources will have a more bigger impact on gameplay, thus making this stuff more relevant. But by the rate you need to drink, effectively you can't get far with some pills, can you? Or can your group get far with a few pills? And obviously, you can't boil it all the time in every situation! But there's actually four methods as opposed to the two we know! Boiling water (to be added)Chemical disinfection (purification tablets you see above)??????That's RIGHT! At least two other ways from a realistic standpoint! Or maybe even more, but let's focus on two! But(t) what are they? Well, many of you might know them already. ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ UV LIGHT FILTER Simple. Add water, use the lamp on a liter of water for about 90 seconds while you agitate the water during that time. There are various handy systems, for example one where you use a "pen" that is battery powered or one that has a "dynamo", thus letting you power the UV light by mere muscle power. No need for batteries! It doesn't "kill" bacteria and all that but renders it sterile, thus making the water safe for consumption if you make sure there's no contaminated water left near the cap. Just wipe it clean and there you go. 99,999% safe water. But geeze, what about the nasty stuff in ponds and such that might make it into the bottle? Use a pre-filter you can screw on top of the bottle. It filters out the "big" stuff. Or use cloth, a rag, etc. PORTABLE WATER FILTRATION What you'd expect, the classic or any homemade variant. Harmful contaminants are filtered out via various ways. These can come in small form, bottle size or as jerry can. Water filters are used by hikers, aid organizations during humanitarian emergencies, and the military. These filters are usually small, portable and lightweight (1-2 pounds/0.5-1.0 kg or less), and usually filter water by working a mechanical hand pump, although some use a siphon drip system to force water through while others are built into water bottles. Dirty water is pumped via a screen-filtered flexible silicon tube through a specialized filter, ending up in a container. These filters work to remove bacteria, protozoa and microbial cysts that can cause disease. Filters may have fine meshes that must be replaced or cleaned, and ceramic water filters must have their outside abraded when they have become clogged with impurities. These water filters should not be confused with devices or tablets that disinfect water which remove or kill viruses such as hepatitis A and rotavirus. - Wikipedia Gameplay? Well, maybe you're thirsty now. But would this work in gameplay terms? Yes. The items would be rare and restricted to certain places. They could / would exist in Chernarus because of the military in general. Furthermore, CDF Troops (Chernarus military) are or used to be UN troops abroad, serving in Takistan (another fictional country from the A2 universe) which explains why you can find UN berets and soon blue UN helmets. Considering your average middle east country places or rural areas they'd bring these kind of filters with them and have them in stock at home somewhere I imagine. They'd obviously be better in good condition than your average tablets because they can filter or purify way more water before breaking. You could go on for a very long time. But others might want them, or you'd have to find and change filters after some time? OP? Maybe, but it is what it is. That's why they should be rare and / or slightly downgraded in terms of gameplay, if you like. Using them might come at a disadvantage already. It could take some time and render you "immobilized" as you purify, for example via UV light. If using UV light it could be optional to use a rag to filter out particles before sterilizing. These items would be a good alternative to being sick but in the wilderness or hydrated but reliant on towns / wells / limited chemicals. As for size, you could not just implement the bottles but also jerry cans (for filtration, NOT UV light) that hold more but are obviously also bigger in size. 4 to 6 compared to 2 slots for example, with the focus being on group use. Videos! These videos are only to give a better understanding. I don't want to promote (these) products commercially, even if some ads are used (for being short). For more, consult your favorite search engine or video network. FILTRATION Bottle and jerry can UV LIGHT with and without battery Conclusion or short version Developers and community, please consider such items. It would be realistic and possible to find them in Chernarus, but they might or should be limited in quantity. That should be the downside of being able to purify large® quantities of water without having to rely on limited chemicals or time consuming boiling. In addition they could be downgraded slightly compared to reality if really needed regarding quality. Depending on what item you use it should immobilize you for up to 90 seconds (UV light). Discuss!

AND tin foil hats, of course. Maybe pink ones with AJs name on them, too. + hidden special black in foil hat or so! Hidden bonus: Water fluoride remover: Anything you drink with it is considered clean water!

Lé bump, oui oui!
