Rule #1: never get attached to your gear. i know it's hard when you found many nice things and die senselessly (bug/ COD kiddie), but the game is permadeath, so deal with it. oh and dying on stairs hasn't been a thing in a while now, so bringing this up only means you are not informed about the development. if you are not just trolling (which i think you are), and willing to educate yourself, read the status reports. maybe start around the beginning of 2014. oh, and you are obviously not on a very complex job, ask people who build large buildings (factory/airport) how long shit can take. taking time doesn't mean incompetence. writing stuipd stuff usually means though.

try removing you "DayZ" folder in you documents folder (C:\Users\*USERNAME*\Documents). i suggest you make a backup before in case it's not helping, as it will reset you whole settings. oh and remove all startup parameters for DayZ in steam. that's the new server browser, if you've seen other screenshots, it's propably older ones.

1. yes they dont spawn weapons atm 2. no weapons have now military spawns until the problem with crashsites is solved (CLE controll of weapon spawns doesn't work for crashssites) i suggest you go search tisy military base. i've seen all weapons exept for the VSS there

plenty of fresh spawned military weapons have magazines attached. i think the problem you have is, that you hardly find "fresh" weapons. lets assume you find an AK74 with one mag, and you find a second one with a mag attached, what would you do? i guess you would take the mag out of it and leave the weapon behind. next guy to come will just see another AK without mag, even though it spawned with one. i think the spawns only need minor tweaking for most magazines/weapons. but i haven't seen a single M1911 mag in 100+hrs 0.61.

i think even a single person could do that in the given time. a group in 1-2 days. and maybe they don't even stay one one server. if it's exp. some servers have persistence off, so with some good timing (after restart tisy and all other bases are full of stuff) you shouldn't run into problems.

sprint around and make a fire as fast as possible in a dry location (eg. barn). if you stop sprinting for a moment when you are wet you will cool out realy quick. so it's best not to stop unless you are gathering sticks and bark. the fire will dry you up first, them warm you up. then you could wait until it stops raining. or go out again and travel a bit further and repeat the procedure. if you react quickly enough being cold and wet, or even cold and drenched can be easily survived. but if you first react when you are at a body temperature of 35°C (freezing orange) you will drop into hypothermia (starting at 34.5°C) in no time and loose blood. Normal freezing (yellow) starts at 35.8°C and leaves you enough time to find shelter and materials for a fire.

find the gravel texture on the ground, search for stones, find one after some time, craft stone knife problem solved. and it only takes on slot, so it's better than normal knife for most purposes anyways. if you get to know the map a bit and move away from the eastern coast (southeren coast should be fine) you should have little to no problems surviving environmental hazards. i last time i died to anything but players was at least 100h of playing ago.

afiar items in storage containers (barrels, tents, cars, droped backpacks, etc.) or player inventorys don't count for loot spawns. on the other hand, tents barrels and such won't spawn if the server maximum is reached. i guess you could still bring those from other servers to expand your 20 tents base.

food was an example for the need of having an "unrealistic" feature in order to make the game a hardcore survival game. if you want a realistic weapon wear system, you might as well leave this out completly. i mean you eat like 3 meals in 24h so if you wanted this realistic you would only have to eat every 8h of playing. why bother having to eat, if it only occurs every 8h, that would be clearly a waste of programming time. i'm no weapons expert, but i think that weapons are able to fire thousands of rounds without wearing significantly. you will most likely have to clean them from time to time let's say 200 shots for the mosin) to keep them functional. i guess you won't need more than 40rounds for a firefight in the game (unless you are surpressing someone, but if you propably don't do that effectively with a bolt action rifle.) i don't know about you, but i don't have firefights often. Let's imagine you have one every 1h. You would still need to play for 5h before this feature kicks in. So why bother having it in at all? maybe you don't want those features realistic at all, but as long as you are refering to the real world, i just guess you want it "realistic". And why would i "defend" "bugged out mechanics as features"? basically because i think this is 95% working as intended and you just don't know how to cope with it. If you can't accept that the need to clean your weapon is totally intended you should change the game you are playing instead of demanding the game to change for you. Maybe you will be lucky and find a softcore modded version of DayZ sometime in the future, but i think that the need to clean weapons fits with the rest of the game so i don't need this to be changed.

stamina system is yet to come, so bringing this up is a bit weird. and you can even fire 10000 rounds without ruining your rifle, you just have to use the cleaning kit regulary. adding this one simple step is that increase in dificulty i mean.

bottles spawn.

no you just have to accept some features that make your life harder. if you don't like it this way, nobody is forcing you to play.

if validating files doesn't help, check all your drivers. if they are all ok, you can't do stuff. i suggest you report the errors at the feedback tracker in any case.

if you get it working in an unmodded version of DayZ SA, yes very likely. i guess if he'd just try to run some custom .dll to track his position he won't get banned. battleye will just block those and his stuff won't work. if he tries to bypass battleye he will get banned. no guarantees on not getting banned for trying.

let's also remove the need to drink and eat, having to eat 1kg food every hours is realy unrealistc and makes the game only harder. so remove it. DayZ is a survival game, that includes many mechanics that make the game harder and more complicated. if you don't like cleaning your weapon to keep it functional, you might be playing the wrong game.

i couldn't find a recording of me having a mosin right now, but i found me having a winchester, and with it, it works just as i described. (both are bolt-action with internal magazine, so it should be the same) i can't tell why you would only get back one round if you loaded 5rounds before, but you should make sure that you have enough inventory space left, because single ejceted rounds use one slot each (they dont stack automatically). if you ejcet more rounds than you have space they will drop to the ground.

loading will improve with new animations (propably in 0.62). at the current state "chambering" is loading the internal magazine, so if you chamber the mosin you load in 5 rounds. with new anymations they will be able to have many differnt animations like loading a single round, and loop them, so you can load single rounds until you want to stop, run out of rounds or the rifle is full. currently the only loading animation is loading in 5rnd from the clip. and it shows regardless of how much ammo is loaded.

apart from the "game is not done/balanced" point: many things in dayz are speed up so those mechanics don't get useless. what would be the point in weapon maintenence (cleaning kit) if you dont have to use it.

plate carrier stuff should spawn at heli crashes (found the gun holster part there at least), but i guess it's very rare. and if you search for high capacity vests, go to tisy mil base

i havn't seen a banana in a while, i guess it's becasue its still buggy https://feedback.bistudio.com/T93400

i'm not sure about it, but here are my guesses 1. because of the 60 rnd mags 2. lower recoil 3. RDS 4. looks

the Steyr AUG A1 is not modular. A2 and A3 versions are.

i take the liberty on answering: steam back online since around 19:52 GMT+1 Steam isn't exactly know for good communitaction. so i guess not no backup plan, just wait because its not nessecary. cou can still play DayZ 99+% of the time, some hours of downtime have to be accepted. DayZ has steam services integrated (like player indentification through steam and server browser through steam), so you can't simply put in a second system for backup reasons. nothing, reason see above

yes, steam is down: https://steamstat.us/
