I see fps increase in towns, however fps drops are horrible.

The ground seems to be quite slippery today. Dead zombies are rushing down the hillsides ;)

That made me laugh as well. The zombies rag doll quite nicely but it looks like the ground is a sheet of ice to the physics engine.

I really do like the rag doll effects though. I saw some cool zombie deaths. Hats off the dev team.

Something fishy is going on with .pbo, again.

 

On experimental UK 0-13 BattlEye just annouced that it detected wrong signature for one of the players "items.pbo" but did not kicked him out.

[frosti 2165]

not sure if it was just a gun iv not heard being fired, or some audio bug, but i heard a strange repeated tapping which i couldnt make out exactly what it was, but it sounded like semi auto fire or full auto fire, but the sound was of a really odd type, my only other presumption was that it was the mp5k fire but it sounded a lot different to how it sounds in some videos of that guin being fired, and also the sounds seemed to intermittently happen, wherever i was, even though i was traversing a fair distance of land so i doubt it was the same person heading the same way as i

 

What's the new bug sound! Place your bets!

A. Reloading bow

B. Reloading crossbow

C. Reparing blades with stone

D. Cleanig your gun with gun cleaning kit

Three times today I've died by crouching down (X key) in small spaces, usually by shelves (like in the shelve room of the blue med centre building). Never had this before so not sure if it's something to do with the exp update! Also....500 posts! Taken me since June 2012 to get to that!!

Need to press about twenty times a button on keyboard to player use an item in hand.

I have a fix for this, go to crouch then hit the hotbar, should equip no problem after that.  Once equipped you can stand.  My issue is a I can't sprint with a weapon in "ready".  It always goes back to walk.

 

At the military jail in the new village my legs were broken twice on the second floor for no apparent reason.  I was walking around the barracks room up stairs when it would happen.  Very annoying.

 

I have also noticed what appears to be a newish glitch with the tool bar.  I'll hit 3 which is a pistol say, my hands will reach back, the animation will cancel but instead of showing fists when I go to the ready it show empty hands holding a rifle.  When it is a melee weapon like an axe same thing, the empty hands are up as if holding an axe.

Every time it's happened to me it's been above ground level, might be reproducible...shotgun not me :P Already lost 2 Mosins and a shotgun because of it!

Anyone find any new weapons or items ?

[solodude23 649]

you should try it out, before you label it as a small issue not worth making a deal out of, it significantly affects gunfights in a detrimental manner, as if the clunkiness of the overall system wasnt hinderance enough

Edit: Gotcha. It's not been reverted, but altered once again. It was indeed better before.

I saw 1 in Lopatino.

 

PS.

 

Killed 1 in Stary Sobor too, new one respawned 1 second later and aggroed from 600 meters. And then again and again

 

and again

So for me the game is just amazingly smoother.. every action seems to be working much better. Things like moving quickly indoors, and going up flights of stairs quickly dont make me feel like Im getting sick because of the jumpiness of it all.. Now its just all smoooth baby. Did notice some FPS increases, no spikes down in any way, but I run my game with no shadows so that may be keeping me from getting that shadow FPS hit that was mentioned on the change logs for stable (im assuming problem persists in exp.). 

 

Knocking a Zed is just hilarious now.. Im just having fun punching and running right now as a freshie.. Also I must say, I sort of like the non-sprint crouch thing and the same with weapons drawn.. its just a bug anyhow Im sure so it does not matter, but I dont mind it either way. Easy to adapt to for now..

 

and is it just me or does the game once again just look better graphically?

Just the Pilotka Cap, but it seems a bit to small to look good or realistic imho:

 

 

Btw, the fact I can only sprint fast or walk damn slowy with raised melee weapons like an axe made me feel like a retard. And this is the first time ever that a game makes me feel like a retard. I really hope this is a bug and not intended, otherwise I am speechless...

 

Edit: I have no problem if I can't jogging with raised guns anymore, but no jogging with axe or other melee weapons would be a bad... no wait... a ridiculous idea. Game flow and fairness (against zombies) suffers, especially because the zombies are still hitting you despite you killed them a second before...

So whoever just killed me on Exp. SouthCentral..0-4 I think it was, regular full server.. in Novy.. I mean

 

KUDOS!

 

I was running full sprint in a field out in the open.. one shot, "YOU ARE DEAD." and I heard an odd thunk sound that made me think it was an arrow that killed me.. or audio bug?

 

Anyhow, Im sure he wont come across this but I wish I could have said good job. Its too bad I had like nothing on me and was basically a fresh spawn with a kitchen knife and an orange rain coat on.. but oh well, Im sure my gear was the least of his concerns after that ragdoll of mine.. downhill, full sprint.. Im sure it was hilarious! :D

Apparently you can place fishing hooks in boonie hats, and knives in military boots now.

are you sure about the last one?

I haven't tried either. Read it on reddit.

I am going to wait for some picture proof before I believe it

[fowang 60]

Broke my leg TWICE walking into the top room of the military jail building VERY annoying seems that random leg breaking is still there, ruined boots and bottoms :(

[Irish. 4886]

So the Sun seems different.. not so much glare, less OP ;)

 

 

And I did a little test to show distance light is shown at night.. here is a flare at around 50-75m maybe 100m tops if Im off a bit.. but its probably around 75m or less. 

 

 

Now notice the difference just a few steps makes :P

 

 

And after a long day of testing you have to watch the sun come up with a friend and just relax... life is good

Milboots appear like a holster by now, but i didn't managed to get a knife in there (kitchen, combat)

Seems more like a placeholder by now, but i like the idea of it!
