Kevin? I have piss-poor accuracy, and my friends are all blind.

I killed a guy named Kevin twice.

Nothing in this paragraph is important, but I feel the need to fill up the post with some background information. A buddy and I met up outside of Cherno and in the process found a car. This is the first time either of us have found a vehicle anywhere near working condition, and with it being night, and a low pop server, we decide to head into Cherno and find the parts we need. We arrive back at the car 45 minutes later, and to our surprise it's not missing. We pop the tires on, fill up the tank, and drive off into the night. Half a tank of gas later, and we're in a part of the map we've never been to before. It's like the first time ever logging in, except we have gear and already know the controls. Great fun! Well, the night comes to a close and we find a secluded spot to stash our cool new find, save it, and log out. Today I log in just for a moment to see if it's still there [i really didn't expect it to be]. Well, it's still there, but it's missing a wheel. Dude, where's my wheel? Is this normal behavior for vehicles? To not be in the same state you left them? I'm sure there's been a server reboot between now and then, but I would think if the car is even there at all it should be the same.

With a game or mod in this state, bugs are just a part of the game unfortunately. This still caught me a bit off guard. Everything else about the car was exactly as it was left, just missing a wheel.. haha. Who wanders through the woods stealing tires off cars?

Part of the risk of being a bandit is that you're going to get shot at. It's just part of the game, and human nature I believe. The disconnecting is very frustrating though. Something as simple as having your body persist for 5-10 seconds after a disconnect would do a lot to curb this behavior, but it's also going to penalize someone who legit disconnects in the middle of looting, and has a zombie wander by.

I always assumed the server had a ping cap, and was kicking me for being too high. It only seems to happen when I tab out while it's loading.
