Ah, another thing I just thought of. Nametags. In the mod the server either has them on and you can randomly find someone from 200m away just by accidentally moving your view over them, or they are off. One thing I think would be great for the game is if they were to show a nametag if you stared at someone for a second or two who were within 10m. That would simulate facial recognition, without the accidental discovering people that happen in the mod.

I'm curious about zombies in the standalone. Will they only spawn around buildings as they do in the mod, or will we occasionally find random zombies wandering around the wilderness as well (either individually, or as a small 'herd' of 10 or so)?

Bah, stopping hackers needs to be right at the top of the 'to do list'. I'd never seen one up until three or four days ago (well, no confirmed one anyway...there was one suspicious guy last week). But they are over-running the game at the moment, and to be honest I can't see the point in playing when I know there is a strong chance of just being insta-killed. I took the risk tonight, played for an hour then just got randomly transported 50m in the air and then insta-killed before I could abort. And all my friends are reporting the same. I think I'll just play BF3 until this matter is at least improved. I completely understand this is an alpha and I'm fine with the bugs and problems (no matter how frustrating they are), but when idiots are regularly insta-killing the entire server even I can't work up the effort required.

I found camo the day before this patch came out (the first non civilian clothing I've found), so I'm not playing again until they fix this problem. If I knew I'd just lose the camo I wouldn't mind, but it's the reports of losing everything else that has me wary.

Happens to me as well, and I don't even use six launcher. Like others have said, my frames are fine (generally sit between 45 and 55) but every 30 seconds or so my screen will freeze for a third or a half of a second.

I did read somewhere (it may have been this forum) that it seemed to happen at 15 minute intervals on the server. That every 15 minutes the server would wipe all bodies that were around. As such, if you killed someone right at the end of the countdown the body would only last seconds, but if it was at the start you would have almost 15 minutes. That was the theory anyway. Would love to have confirmation of how it actually works. Or perhaps a bunch of people could somehow figure out an experiment to work it out.

At least you guys got relatively good guns when it changed. I found an AS50 in a crashed heli the other day, and logged off about 5 minutes later after storing it in my alice backpack. The next day I logged back in, and the AS50 had changed into a revolver (something which I had never had on this character). I still had the AS50 ammo though. Not only that, but before I had logged off my hunger sign was flashing quite a bit. Upon coming back in, it was a solid green. I was on Seattle 53 when I found the AS50 and logged off, and on ANZ 3 (or maybe 4) when I logged back on.

Confirmed this is still happening on 1.7.1.5, on Seattle 31 server. Same muzzle flash, and I spent ages trying to get in (was the first heli I've found so thought I was doing something wrong until I looked it up). Even have video of it if Rocket wants it (albeit late at night so can't see much). Edit: Found other threads saying loot spawns on the ground near the chopper, rather than inside it which was my understanding. I guess someone else took all that stuff earlier.
