For some reason a few minutes into playing, all DayZ related items (sight/sound monitors, hunger and thirst, respawn button disable) seem to become inactive as though DayZ was not loaded. The icons stay there but they do not update, nor does my character save consistently in this state. I can die if shot or hit but I usually end up glitched on the ground, not really dead, able to access my inventory and other folks' backpacks (if they are near enough) and talk over voice, for several minutes in some cases. See the following videos of this "dead" state: I am clearly killed before the hacker jumps down off the roof but the death message does not show up until later. A much longer video where I am glitched "dead" for a much longer time and am even revived at one point before being killed again. I cannot bandage, drink, eat, pick up a hatchet, while lagged or glitched or whatever this is. Zombies do not aggro. I can see and hear and talk to other players, but I cannot bandage, transfuse, epi, or morphine others in this state, the items just don't show up. I can interact with vanilla Arma 2 menu items (gear, hide body, etc). It is like the DayZ code just stops working. Sometimes my states save and sometimes I am warped back to a far previous state (both location and inventory). If I die I am likely to respawn in the debug area, then on another respawn (since the button is not disabled in this state) with a 5-minute timer and no inventory (though this part of the issue may be specific to a private hive I frequent). Occasionally things catch up and I end up getting several messages that I don't have enough room for the hatchet or don't have any empty water bottles to fill or whatever. Anyone else have this issue and know a workaround or fix? Your servant, Weld

Anyone have any other ideas? Link previously posted seemed to be non-legit. I'm tired of finding good loot and running around a bit first to see if my eye/ear bars change so I know I can pick it up. I've noticed I don't have an issue if it is only a few people on the server - say less than ten, and I can be connected for a long time without any problems, but more than ten and sometimes it is a few seconds before I'm lagged out again.

The haunting graphical artifacting keeping me away from that which we do not name is gone for me. Also the same at the airfields (Balota and NW). Thanks! Your servant, Weld

* [NEW] Option to flip vehicles that have rolled Too bad I wasted so much time leveling my "Unflip ATV using the wheels" skill. Great updates! Your servant, Weld

1.7.2.5, beta 95883 Still have artifacting. Your servant, Weld

Vyshnoye to the northwest airfield, looted Stary Sobor on the way. Found no morphine until I got to the second or third hangar down the line in NWAF. Your servant, Weld

He will be what he will be, but you must be what you will be. Share and share alike, if that is the way it needs to be said - though I wouldn't even put it that way. Sharing implies something mutual, which is not what I mean. Give without wanting anything from the other. Your servant, Weld

I feel in my heart that it is better for new spawns to have a pack of flares rather than a flashlight. Your servant, Weld

Play the sound of flies through direct comms while doing this and the effect will be complete. Also other players would have to have access to your inventory while doing this, or you're just not faking it hard enough. Your servant, Weld

Bribe him? If you want to look at it that way, sure. But that implies that you want something from him, and that is not what I am saying. Your servant, Weld

Leave it there. Fill his tents when yours are full. The good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. Your servant, Weld

If a bullet/z swipe passes close enough it will flash my screen white and put up the shock icon even if it does no damage. It has to be pretty close though. Your servant, Weld

Have you tried it? They burst into flames with a few shots from a rifle. Might I suggest testing to see if your suggestions are already implemented before posting them? Your servant, Weld

Barbed wire corrals with bear trapped exits would be more cruel. Your servant, Weld

This is pretty funny.

Double-action revolver cylinders do not rotate AFTER firing, they rotate before firing. FN-FAL and M14 don't use direct blowback operation. You won't see any appreciable difference in velocity based on the action type. However, .303 British and 7.62x51 are very similar in velocity and energy from comparable barrel lengths. Your servant, Weld

For the sake of argument, flares also give away your position and have a limited number of uses (though I realize they are very common). Your servant, Weld

How is this different from keeping water bottles in an alice? Ease of refilling/drinking? Your servant, Weld

I have spent far too much time hatcheting tents down. That is all. Your servant, Weld

Open map, shift+click on a point. Two concentric circles appear indicating a waypoint that you can drag around to different points on the map, and this waypoint can show up on your screen with an arrow and distance. I recommend using actual land navigation if you can help using this. It quickly becomes a crutch. Some servers use different settings. This won't happen on veteran or hardcore servers. There is a sort of trick to it. The most reliable method is this: drop your backpack, take new backpack, open old backpack from the ground, open new backpack and move items into it. This one I don't know. I'd guess around 100m when fully zoomed. I'd have to do some prospecting with the waypoint tool to get a better indication. Cheers. Your servant, Weld

You have to make tough decisions in this game. Being able to avoid those choices (like picking up both pistols, whether they are both equipped at the same time or not) is inauthentic to that core concept. If it must be done it won't be easy (like keeping one in the backpack). Two pistols equipped at once? I've tried firing two pistols at once and it simply isn't realistic to expect any sort of accuracy unless you really take your time, which absolutely negates any other perceived benefit. Your servant, Weld

This doesn't seem to be an issue with any vehicle other than the ATV. Even the motorcycle doesn't go crazy. Your servant, Weld

Take as many risks as you can. Make an objective, then fulfill it. Make another one and abandon it. It's your objective, you don't have to complete it. Make your objective to find someone who has an objective for you, then fulfill it. Or kill them. Or give them an objective. Find a bus and start a bus line. Find a helicopter and medevac folks. Or land on them. Help everyone you see. Never fire a weapon. Fire a weapon once then give it away. Like Zombo.com, you can do anything you want. The only limit is yourself.
