Vehicle failure

[Lido 54]

Concerning the recent patch, I see it added features galore, but didn't really fix some things, which really irks me.

In particular, vehicles, specifically ATVs. These things are like suicide while driving, as for no reason it'll dive 40 feet in the air and pretend its a helicopter, then (rather loudly, attracting nearby zombies) smashing into the ground like a bloody elephant. While I'm not sure if its in control of the dayz devs, maybe it's just the engine, it would really help if my ride stopped crushing me and attracting zombies withing a 300m radius. Not only that, it causes some bizarre sights.

While walking around Sol, there's a specific roadblock that only loads when you're like 1m from it, and I saw 3 bandits going at about 80mph to it, on ATVs. It gets trippy, because one of them actually flies like 50 feet, dives over the road block, and gets stuck on the top of a building, while the other two blow up. (I went to help but they shot at me so I threw some smoke grenades and watched zombies eat them. Free loot~)

On topic, is there any future plans to fix vehicles, whether it be in the mod or the standalone?

Also another thing, off topic (I may make a new topic about this)

What types of payment can I use on purchasing standalone? I'm 17 so I don't have a credit card, I get like this weird card from school with funds on it for the town my college is in, but it doesn't work with online transactions. Will there be some sort of game card feature?

First, Yes vehicule need to get some work done on them. They working on them for the standalone but not for arma since it the basic engine witch is completly fuck up...

Second, You can find some pre-pay credit card (that i use online to buy on steam or other site). Like mastercard or Visa, they have a fixed amount on them. like 25, 50 or 100$ and they work like credit card. Look at your (big) local drug store maybe you can find some there. (in my country that where i find them (canada)... )There is no age limit and safe to use.

Actually I think the non-ATV vehicles have gotten better. I can run over fences and hit small obstacles without getting stuck or exploding.

Apart from bridges I havent had much trouble from the atv. I do however make sure I navigate certain terrain slowly because of the stupid over the top engine physics.
