The fire is because someone crashed a heli (or other hacked air vehicle) somewhere in that direction.

I've noticed this type of issue either just as I load in while say... in a general store, and the only thing in it is backpacks and tents, or on specific servers. One server was like this, and it was terribly laggy, so I'm guessing it could be both a server side 'glitch', or a way of limiting loot hopping. I've seen some servers, when you load in, the loot is there, or spawns in quickly, while others do something like this... It would be nice to know exactly how loot is supposed to work, in terms of spawning, like at heli crashes, the loot somestimes doesn't exist, but if you just stay there 5 minutes, something appears every 30 seconds. Doesn't happen like that anywhere else...

summary? I was only trying to get the misinformation/miscommunication removed. No one explained all sides of the 4-5 different 'issues' everyone was mistakenly assuming was the one the thread/current issue was referring to. Sorry for trying to remove a tad bit of chaos to clarify the game breaking issue that the post was about - because if I was a dev, and I read this thread, I'd not have a god damn clue what the actual issue was. Sorry for being a dick. Dick.

There has been a lot of miscommunication/confusion in this thread. First off, yes, barbed wire fences have been causing this issue for some people over the last few weeks. HOWEVER, that is NOT the current 'serious issue'. The current serious issue, as of 1.7.2.4, is the dead soldiers that are statically placed in various locations (they are NOT dead zombies, or zombies at all for that matter, just permanently/statically dead soldiers). These guys are EVERYWHERE, including starry tents, NWAF, cherno hotel (right at the base), etc. THIS is the current issue making it unplayable. The current suggested fixes are: Reinstall your video card drivers, regardless if they're current. Hold shift, hold 'minus' on numpad, let go of shift, let go of minus, type flush. Restart game client and/or computer Some config change relating to complexity (see previous posts) Set your ingame resolution and 3d resolution to your maximum monitor resolution on both. Out of these, only the last one worked best for me, and it was only temporary. Now stop saying it is or isn't something if you don't know what the actual discussion is! Edit: Yay for realizing I had not actually registered, even though I swear I did.
