Just here to complain about cars and shovels.

Recommended Posts

spent hours putting a car together just to have the bug that freezes your screen locks up your controls throw me into a rail. I wasnt even going all that fast and it still instantly ruined my radiator and spark plug along with the two front tires. I was told cars were pretty much unuseable but i didnt think to this degree. This is something that needs to be fixed asap as it is just entirely unacceptable. Also why can i not repair a shovel and sledge hammer? What good is the shovel is it breaks in under 10 uses and i cant repair it. At least give me like 50 uses with it before it breaks if youre not going to let me repair it.

Cars have always been broken for many folks and were never addressed ever since release.  I was lucky enough that my issue with them was eased around the time I upgraded to an external SSD.  .....I'm assuming that is what helped.  In either case, while I can drive without the long freezes for the most part, I still have the bouncing car issue, rubber-banding, etc.  My character was killed last month because my olga flipped up in the air going over a curb at under 10KPH.

As for the shovel, I agree but it seems they've increased the wear on a lot of items to a degree that is ridiculous on some.  I don't get it.  I understand the survival aspect and all including gameplay balancing but not to the point where it is so unrealistic.  A shovel shouldn't wear out like that.  

I also don't understand removing the repair ability of duct tape on some items.  On stuff like guns I can understand but no I can't even repair my shoes which IRL, duct tape is something you can actually use for such things.  ....not pretty but it works in a pinch. 

As it is, you need to collect dozens of the same tool just to get some parts of a project done.
