Thanks for fixing hot bar/keys in inventory problems, seems to be working now.

Strange occurrence on current experimental. I had (2) IJ-70 magazines on my character from a previous experimental build. I can't seem to properly interact with them. I can't put bullets in them, I can't put them in my hands. I can manipulate them in my existing inventory slots but if I drop the pants they are in I can't pick them up out of the pants.

edit: picked up a new IJ-70 mag and that one wasn't able to be reloaded either.

 

Existing bugs I would love to have looked at:

• Dead player bodies need to stay much longer then the default values and even longer then the newly added adjustments
• Sometimes taking a cooking pot out of a fireplace makes the game crash for multiple users in the area
• "Static" Audio pop when you come in a 50-75m range of a drivable vehicle
• Portable gas stoves in your inventory making a noise when spawning in or if you have one in some type of storage or buried item you can hear it engage when you come in a 5-10m range of it

Yeah, I agree. They've really been pushing out the updates lately, and they've been extremely stable, too.

You may not have heard, but the updates are given to PC first since it's easier to deploy the updates. Once the updates are verified as 100% working, then they are pushed out to the consoles.

What? Are you telling them to not push it to stable? Why? That's why Experimental exists. To test the patches before being pushed. These issues that have gotten fixed are kinda important to getting smooth gameplay.

As a fresh spawn I reached this position with one server hop. 90 seconds gametime.

Little suggestion and maybe a fix to do : Explosion of gas station don't kill zombies.

The explosions definitely need work imo.

Everybody I speak to wants the mini-nuke style blast from the old days. 

Although I wonder if the grenade fix in this patch, sorts your zombie issue out?

Dude they first need to polish on PC before sending it to consoles, I'm on Xbox too but I know that it's not easy

 

[MetalHead2112 43]

@thurstonn They tend to push them to stable too early stating that things are fixed but still appear to be broken.

I mean that before making a patch to stable version fix the bugs that have, that there is an experimental version, all these patches should be included in the 1.04 before they push to stable , 1.04 was rushed with a lot bug that everyone reported from the first moment

(dont rush)

[doctorv93 1]

Please, tweak the Base Damage values.

I finally want to build bases on vanilla servers. Just increase the stability values by 50 or 100,  increase the tool damage a few times.

Thats enough workaround fix, to at least be able to use this function until you have a better solution.

 

P.S, please also fix bullet damage values,  its so frustrating to hit unarmored dudes 5-10 times with 9mm and they still dont go down. Or 2x timews with mosin center mass and they run on.. Comon.

I wonder how much the re-spawning will need to be tweaked before its actually good. 

 

IMO it would make sense to teleport the player 1-2 KM away from logout point, or to the closest town.

Well, that would still be better than nothing of course, but since they implemented the system to also deal with players hopping for fast loot gathering, 1-2km isn't really punishment enough to discourage players from waiting 75 sec and walking a little bit more.

Yes, I was afraid that perhaps the system could be abused as a sort of "fast travel". That's why I believe it needs to be tweaked, so that it will put you to a random spot, but always on the SOUTH/EAST side of your last position and never NORTH/WEST of your last position. That way it could still be abused to "fast travel" back to the coast,  though still not precisely, unfortunately I don't really see any way around that.

[Uncle Zed 272]

You guys should keep going until you find a game breaking bug, THEN push it to stable. We love it so much when you do that. Oh, and do it on a Friday afternoon so we get no responses until Monday... if at all.

[ThePugman 280]

I like the epi pen update. I wonder if some balance will be required to prevent spamming. How about a solution that makes sense, like using too many epi pens over a short period of time causes a heart attack (I mean, it was possible from batteries before, right?)

[Fun Automat 23]

@ImpulZ

 

1. If you have a campfire with tripod and a pot with water in it, then when you take the pot out while the water is boiling the game crashes for everyone in a radius.

2. Cars....what happens with the cars ? The performance is ruined..
    1.03 with 90 players, not problem it was perfect ....everywhere

   1.04. its a dessaser when bases are arround...

I was moving from berez to balota with 110 players on the server without lags or freezes, on top speed.

But the coast is empty...without bases...

The patch broke the cars...

yep, if something can be abused, it will be .. . .  . At least with the coastal spawn points, people were dissuaded from hopping, now if they are over the map, its worthwhile trying to game it . . . 

Not that I will be . . . . .
