Not coming back up or what?

server still down... any update?

is it coming back at all?

What happened to your server? Been looking for it for the past two days, but it's been listed as down. Will it be up soon?

In regards to the artifact problem... simply go to the areas where you get the artifacts (assuming in cherno, bolota air field, stary sobor, etc...) and go through your graphic settings one at a time. Artifacts went away for me when I turned off anti-aliasing.

Yeah, aggressively yelling "HALT" at someone running blind in the night is a grand way to determine if someone is "reasonable." "When told to HALT you fucking halt...when told to drop your gun you fucking drop it" Real friendly tone and demeanor you have there, I'm sure you find "reasonable" people in droves. So this "social aspect" youre interested in, are you just referring to ordering people to do whatever you tell them, and if they dont, you kill them?

That's simply the name of the server and has nothing to do with the actual settings. Server owner could put anything in there. My point was, when I look the server up through the in game filter system, in the info at the bottom it shows it as recruit.

just fyi, your server shows up as a Recruit server in the filter

happened to my buddy today when bailed out.. tried twice, once in autohover. death soon as he jumped out.

and theyll be back after server restarts...

Was this on US 252? Happened to me tonight on that server. My mates and I first noticed all of our gear had got swapped to different stuff, and we all had the same stuff... A couple minutes later we were transported with everyone to the airfield and it looked like some death match script or something was run. We were able to alt f4 out before we got killed. Fortunately when we came back into a different server our gear had been restored, but we were still at the air field, instead of our previous location in the south.

+1

seriously?

Noticed this also... Definitely not a good fix when you lose an entire magazine of ammo, minus one bullet. It's hard enough to find ammo for some of the better weapons already. This happened to me with DMR mags. Lost three mags until I figured it out. I suppose the only option is to use an entire magazine before logging so as not to lose ammo?

Agree with previous poster, tents are extremely buggy still. First off their very difficult to setup, and for some less patient folks probably impossible. Following a guide online in which you basically walk baby steps and for each step attempt to set up the tent, I was able to get my tents up. You are to do this until it sets up. One tent took a few tries, the next one took close to 100. I have had tents not save items also. I've had tents duplicate themselves and the content inside it some how (set up two tents in an area, came back next day and three tents were up, one with identical crappy gear as the first one.) Packed up an empty tent once, left the server a time later, came back next day and the tent I had rolled up was once again in the place (and empty) it had previously been. And last but not least, I have had tents "eat" items the same way your backpack will if it is full. Bad thing is, tents don't show the number of inventory spaces available, so you never quite can tell when it is full (Putting items into any full area, whether it be your inventory, backpack, tent, etc, will result in the permanent loss of said item). I have read several different numbers on what a tent can hold, but the closest thing that seems correct is 5 weapons, 50 items, and 5 backpacks. The backpacks can be full of items also currently. I think the most I had in a tent personally was 5 primary weapons, 45ish items, and 2 backpacks with items. Cheers, SanMan

I lose alot of ammo this way. If I have 10 slots open for a rifle, and I move it to my bag it automatically moves ammo for the gun from my inventory to a full bag. The ammo disappears because it's trying to put magazines into the then full bag. Same for pistols. Makes no sense. Why does it not just leave the ammo in my inventory where it has space already?

This technique you speak of must be the only way to get loot... I have close to 100 hours of time in game, and have yet to find anything remarkable. I have survived and been killed on many many trips to NW airfield, and I'm currently roaming the area. I have yet to see anything I would consider extraordinary, and nearly every time I'm looting leftovers. I've only seen a few fresh spawns at the airfield (loot spawns that I'm at first), and still nothing great. I can't even fathom how long this is going to take to get good gear.

I don't believe anyone should disconnect to avoid death, but then again, I just got killed trying to login. As I was loading into my current location, it didnt even get a chance to finish loading, I was shot and killed. I believe that issue would be potentially be considered the other side of the coin here. If it's not fair for someone to disconnect to avoid being killed, how can it be fair to be killed before you can even finish getting loaded in to defend yourself?
