Why would an M4 be in chernarus?

The m4 is the most hell bringing weapon? LOL I beg to differ. The mosin is. One shot to the head and you're dead. That's pretty hellish. The m4 is also extremely innacurate. The only advantage it has is automatic fire and clip size, but that's about it. For the record the weapon you have doesn't say shit about you. It simply says it's the weapon you've found or chose to keep for whatever reason. I tend to steer clear of the m4 however so you might be on to something. I don't go out of my way to shoot people and stick mostly with the mosin for two reasons. I just found a long range scope, and I like the fact I can camouflage paint it :)

As a fellow carpal tunnel sufferer: YES However in the mean time just use a coin or something. It was never a "feature". It was simply where you held down your run key, shift-tabbed to open overlay, let go of your run button, shift tab back, and you would keep running. And yes, this has been somehow bypassed in SA so you cannot do it.

Respawn has been fixed for a while now. Oh and to whoever said Hardcore servers weren't updated. They seem to be now.

Except it's not banning for no reason. It's banning for a reason. :)

Over 120 hours and encountered no cheating yet

Oh. Didn't realise hardcore servers had been left out of the loop. That sucks Yup that's quite normal. Been that way since the start

It's been fixed

Completely normal. It happened in the mod too. I've also heard that it will depend on your cloud settings.

Ok well.I have to apologise..it seems my freezes were related to shadowplay. I'd turned up the bit rate too high. Turning it back down fixed my freezes. Still getting periodic rubber banding though, not huge but still annoying when you warp back a few feet. FPS seems ok. Well over 1million. We're closing fast on 1.5 million actually.

That's pretty darn scary. You can't even tell if a voice was a girl...looool. Methinks you need to get out more.

How about idiots stop saying "alpha" in response to every complaint or legitimate concern. Are you here just to annoy the fuck out of people who don't agree with you and don't take kindly to every post saying "alpha"? Then stfu please.

Every server is restarting every 5 minutes. At least until the last hour. Seems to be ok now on the last server I was on, however lower FPS than before and rubber banding is back. Also massive freezes sometimes. Not looking like much has been fixed IMO. Go on, tell me it's alpha.

Another idiot who states the obvious. Still not a reason for such sloppy patching dude. You'll probably still be saying alpha in full release you're that dumb.

**GPU***

Servers restarting all the time. Huge number of servers no longer appearing in list (ie ALL multiplay servers). Wtf is going on?

Yup. This was done on purpose to prevent people disabling clouds to get an advantage. Now if we could only do the same with Gamma it would be worth playing at night

Rain/Weather was turned back on in 106. The thing with clouds off is, it actually makes things darker. No stutter like before.

1) a big yes except the axe sounds, which have been fixed already. Birds will be addressed as Rocket already mentioned 2) Yes. ***through*** 3) ??

An hour is nothing when it comes to searching. Definitely not seen a single leather jacket in over 6 hours of playing with the patch that supposedly added them.

Nope. There's no lag spike. There's an FPS issue and it's definitely not related to clouds or weather. That was fixed already hence why weather was brought back in. Disabling clouds is a no no btw...it makes things look very weird and also for soem weird reason, increases the volume of wind

This week actually :) Wed. Patch is already on experimental

After watching the FPS drop Rocket had on his stream, when he got near a certain player, I took note. Later that night I was playing on a fairly populated server but was way up north beyond the rail line, and noticed a sudden FPS drop when approaching a farm area with garages. I am always on alert but with Dean's stream in mind, I thought it strange I had this sudden and rather huge drop in FPS (from 60+ to 30)...so I though perhaps there is a player about. Sure enough a few minutes later I was shot at by a lone player...I managed to nail him once with my magnum then took refuge in a large shed. My fps eventually went back to normal and I got the hell out of there.... Anyway this just to say, other players with bugged gear are causing FPS issues for sure. Too much of a coincidence for it to be anything else

Incorrect. There is no advantage to leaving PP on. You can easily tell your health with the inventory status screens. No advantage whatsoever, and it's horrid to look at so I suggest turning it off. This is one of the first things experienced players do.

Weather certainly is not the cause. No drop in FPS before or after nor during rain.
