I've heard many people complaining about this in the server chat, but some people also reporting no change. FPS for me seems slightly lower, I seem to get about 30-40fps, but before it was usually anywhere from 45-60.

I've had this happen several times, on several servers, since the latest patch, when picking up a weapon from the ground. It didn't matter if I used the action on the action menu, or through the gear menu. When it did it to me, the ammo completely disappeared, it wasn't on the ground. It even happened when I had Whinny slug ammo already in my inventory, but no primary equipped, when I picked up a Whinny. Picked up the Whinny and the Whinny ammo that was already in my inventory disappeared :( Seems right now, if you're picking up any weapon, you're best off dropping any ammo on the ground first before picking it up.

30 seconds? Too short IMHO, I would say at least 2 minutes. Seems harsh, but if someone is attacked and runs into a building to disconnect, it might take you a minute just to follow him to his location and find him.

If you have wood in your inventory when you create a fireplace, it puts the firewood into the fireplace for you. I think if you create one without having any wood in your inventory (or if it's in your backpack) it will create the fireplace but won't stay lit when trying.

I'm guessing the problem with the database could've been due to the type of storage string being used. If they had to change it to another format / type in order to store more than 1 million IDs, then it's also possible he would have had to change something in the code file to generate and report the character ID differently as well.

Sooner or later, everybody, even those who used to play it all the time, will realize that they are crap. Some just later than others. So don't hate!

Not really. Do you see a master-server sources in your mod folder? I dont. Is the master-server written on arma's scripts? I doubt. You're being pedantic. Of course the servers need certain server-specific files, but the code file that was updated is also used by the servers.

Because the server and client use the same mod files.

Well, from the one time I actually ran across a flashlight, I found out that it goes in your pistol slot. So if you want to start with a flashlight instead of a pistol, go right ahead. :) Maybe if they adjust it so you can combine the pistol & flashlight, either with some duct tape or even just being able to hold the flashlight in your off-hand with the standard night-fire hold, with the trade-off of course being that it is much more tiring to hold and causes your aim to go shaky much quicker. If added to standard starter equipment, batteries could even become a consumable resource. I know the ACE2 realism mod made certain electronics such as the laser rangefinder & laser designator require batteries.

I noticed in the server browser that most servers seem to be running the CBA addons and the JayArma2Lib addon. But when I enable these and join any server, I end up with a Corrupted Memory #1 error from BattleEye and get kicked. I know I can just ignore the missing CBA mod error when joining because it's not necessary to use, I'm just curious as to what's going on because I've played Arma2 with the ACE mod before that requires these, and without any problem.

OK, so the mods are running for server-side purposes only. Good to know.
