<_<

 

you guys still able to lean while crouched?

(pressing q/e while crouched)

 

this retard now always thinks he's supposed to stand up and then lean.  > :(

stay crouched ffs...and lean....like you always used to do! dammit.  /rantover

 

tried relogging, checked the keybindings...nada...niet....nuthin i can do about it.

 

<_<

Sorry, can't confirm, tried and tested.

That does not mean that there is not a problem for others.

Well just started playing, can someone confirm that those stuttering stoped for him as well, cos it stoped for me too, also i think the game works better now, getting better frames

I had that problem for a little bit when I first started playing, but eventually it worked itself out.

 

 

1. SMERSH backpack spawns in prisons & tents for sure but I assume it would spawn in all millitary spawns (no sign of the vest yet) The backpack says you can attatch it to the SMERSH vest and STILL use a backpack. It can hold 8 slots. Potentially depending on how much the SMESH vest can carry this will be amazing

 

5. The 75 round drum mag spawns all over the place at NWAF. I found 5 of them in one go of NWAF. They appear to now spawn in both prisons and barracks. I found hoards of the 30 round clips too both oem and non oem 

Very happy about #1 and #5. I'm going to be searching military areas like crazy tonight.

 

The topic title does not say the full version number, smartass.

No, but the wiki does. Would have taken two seconds to look.

 

Is respawning loot disabled? Freshspawn. Been running around for more than an hour and nothing but rotten kiwis and discarded jeans and flashlights.

I had a loooooot of trouble getting my (fresh) character set up last night between not being able to find loot and dealing with hordes of zombies who still don't follow the rules :p

 

Anyone else felt the recoil on the water bottle?   I filled one up at both a standing pond and a town well and after it was done filling it knocked me down.  Scared the hell out of me first time it happened

Happened to me once last night! I was drinking and all the sudden it seemed like something shoved me to the ground from behind.

I suddenly realise that the rossi is going to use magnum ammo and now I really want to see it ingame because every ammo type will have multiple uses then.

I like how responsive the control and cliclk and hotkeys and fps performance are now.this is even still early 0.48 update. . (the melee combat and movement still clunky though)

When i press v to jump,press hoteys,organizing inventory,do actions and stuff, it's all very responsive.

Even the fps performance thing that i thought would be impossible to be fixed.

It's looking good now,no stutter,stable fps 30-40 ,even in town and buildings.

I am truly glad that this dayz alpha does heading somewhere,by just a little jump from 0.47 to 0.48

All the cheers for dayz dev team ;)

Anyone find a SMERSH vest yet ?

I am noticing a bit of a strange thing - don't know if it is a bug, a feature, or my imagination.  When crouched (first person), my little "cursor dot" thing seems to drift, and not really go where I am looking any more.  It seems like it won't go more than thirty degrees or so down, while my view focus goes further.  I will have to check it again, but I am pretty certain this has happened more than once.  Anybody confirm?

 

Oh- and mad props to whoever it was that trapped the zombie in the bedroom on the second floor of the tavern.  She was so excited to see me she jumped out the window onto the roof and ran around until, sadly, she fell off and died.

 

Well done!!!

 

:)

Don't get too excited. Every update brings with it new bugs, and the game has already had many highs and lows in terms of performance since being released as an alpha. In other words: don't get too comfortable. The game will undoubtedly get worse again before it gets better, and probably many times.

 

Anyone find a SMERSH vest yet ?

I haven't seen anyone post that they have. I didn't check any military areas yet in 0.48 myself.

That kept happening to me last night as well, mostly when I was trying to drink water from a fountain. I could only interact with it 2 or 3 times before I had to stand back up and re-orient the cursor.

Regarding to someone who looked into configfiles they do spawn @ russian Mi8 heli crashes (rify, balota) but they don't spawn loot.

Are there heli crash sites on this update? iv been running around fields looking everywhere and i haven't seen anything did anyone else find any crash sites in this update?

[Tatanko 5591]

I still haven't seen a crashed helicopter since they were originally implemented. Like, not even once... not even by accident. I've actually looked for them, too.

 

I saw they added wrecked military trucks to this build as well, are they actually spawning?

Too much TV you watch, me thinks.

[Dr. Goner 661]

Just played a little .48

 

I don't think loot is respawning. If it is it's going very very slowly.

 

I was on a server with like ten folks and couldn't find anything. I died of hunger for the first time in a LONG time.

 

Played nicely though.

[exogravis 13]

Figured out that if you hit the zombies from behind the hit detection works.  From the front is futile.

[Sharplooter 98]

Lol, a buddy and me were on a UK exp server after a restart, I was fresh spawned and went to a unlooted city nearby, but I found only tons of flash lights and damaged jeans, At the same time, same server my buddy found in a unlooted barrack only a few civilian junk.

 

So yeah persistence works now ultra fine, but loot respawing seems not working on some servers, even after restart the ususal loot don't spawn! Haha, this worse then the last couple of months. This is literally a disimprovment :D I guess I am to impatient for exp at the moment because per every single amendment three setbacks are appearing.

Kinda odd but I am sure of it. I tested 3 times now

 

The little Fruit stand shacks (specifically the fruit stand only as can be discerned by the picture) is spawning millitary loot. I keep finding Canteens and Makarovs inside of them. 5 Makarovs for 4 Fruit stands now

Loot is respawning I have seen it appear in front of my eyes. It is just much slower now I believe

The dynamic helicrash events are afaik disabled at the moment. I was refering to the fixed crashsites at rify and the one in balota, wich booth doesn't spawn loot.

Which server? Maybe it works only on some servers. After playing months of exp I am sure there were sometimes differences between DE, EU, SWE or UK servers respectively the numbers of the servers. Probably because the devs are testing different adjustments and stuff on different Servers.

As i tested the lootrespawn system on all (US/UK/SWE/DE/NZ/SG) hardcore exp server yesterday, i saw no difference at the spot where i was testing. This is at least, what i can tell you from my experience i made.

US Central 0-3 

 

All the south west US servers are never online it sadly seems :(

 

Loot is respawning very slowly. i think last patch it respawned way too fast and was abused to the point where the server loot limit would be reached and then no loot would respawn anywhere else cause there was a mountain of it up in Vybor base/Green mountain from exploiters.

 

Now it seem a little too slow IMO. 

 

i would like to see loot respawn on server reset as well to somewhat balance it out.

 

I think not all items should be persistent just some. Like give the option to the player to mark an item as persistent. Sat you stash your backpack before looting some place. Let's give you the option to make the backpack persist by right clicking it. Now whenever you drop the pack it will persist. or maybe if you store items inside or attachments on weapons they automatically will.

 

Although I do like the fact that admins cannot abuse the server restart for loot purposes anymore so hard to say what they need to do to balance it out.

The Z's are not the problem, nor is the melee once you have adapted.

What you do have to keep in mind is that not all weapons are equal.

 

Today I've been using a hoe and there is no real problem taking out Z's, once you've learned how to deal with them.

If you don't get a contact whack sound, then you have not connected with the Z.

Axes are still good but the pick axe is my favourite but both are pretty rare (until you find one, then you find buckets full)..

 

I'm not a fan of the shovel and avoid getting into trouble :D .

 

Not had the dreaded LMB bug today and I've been whacking my way from Dubrovka down to Nadezhdino.

Well, hardcore and regular exp servers were/are sometimes two different pairs of shoes. Loot spawn/respawn must really work well and obviously on hardcore if you could test so much different servers (inkl. restarts?) in such a short period of time.

[ahmedakbar 12]

I like the new experience. Quality loot is really hard to find.

 

However I hate the insta-death/insta-fracture bug that is happening more and more often since 0.47. I no longer get anywhere near any ladder/stairs...

I'm pretty sure i can reproduce the lootrespawn on regular too, if u wan't me to try, i can give u feedback within this evening.

I thought thats a matter of course?!

 

Otherwise people (could) spam here junk on loot points and nothing usefull wil respawn there anymore till some one collect and remove the shit from there... that opens new doors for grieving to destroy peoples game experience.  

 

Sometimes it feels like they try to make the standalone different to the mod at all costs... And imo the mod still works better in many ways, sad but true. And I am assured we need privat hive servers after the alpha is finished. That will stop the major abuse problems, except of course admin abuse, lol.
