I had the exact same problem. I respawned or logged in ( i can't remember which) and found that I had lost my backpack. Ok, no problem. I'll just find another. But I was unable to "Take" the backpacks I subsequently found. There were no objects lying in the way of the backpack, I just had the options "Open Backpack" and change to my other weapon. It's as if the back pack was still in my inventory but glitched and therefore was preventing me from replacing it with another.

Totally agree about the hunting knife being a weapon. Starting from scratch again It was the first thing I found yesterday (yes, before I found an axe) and it made little sense that it couldn't be used as weapon since I was unarmed at the time.

Yup that's about the stupidest thing I've heard today. Edit: glad to see I'm not the only one. Zed or Zee, whichever. They're both correct.

You either live a very short and violent (on both sides) life around the coast or you stalk inland and avoid other players.

Right! This mod sucks so hard, I might just go play Arma 2!!!! :D

"Would you like me to show frightened bunnies round while you take a break?"

Isn't that because you double-tapped shift without realizing? I know this happens with free look (Alt).

Seems the combination of the melee being under powered and the zombies attack distance having been increased make this a last resort weapon. It's good enough til you find a gun I guess.

Yeah I'm having the same problem. Since most of the servers are running the latest patch there is no longer a workaround...
