I like the idea of the sporter being more easily suppressed but it should still be loud like the other pistol calibers, @DefectiveWater.

Not sure if you’ve ever shot a .22 in real life but many of them are extremely quiet, especially compared to a .357, .38 or .45. I once shot a .17 HMR in my backyard and my neighbor was raking leaves about 100 feet behind me and didn’t hear a thing. I’m less upset about the volume changes than everyone else, although I do admit they were more realistic before.

• Fixed: When a mod does not have mod.cpp, server browser would show folder name instead of mod name (uses name in meta.cpp)

Okay, slowly but surely some things are getting addressed. I wonder where 1.12 will end up in terms of balance, because it has more potential than 1.11.

I really like the kick messages, before it was just a guessing game, now it actually can inform you why you got kicked.

[vitdom 56]

Is there any reference documentation about the new kick error codes? What do they mean?

@Kyiara

it also takes all potential variety out of modded weapons

We have found the issue and before providing the fix, we just want to make sure it´s working properly and not causing more trouble. Thank you for your patience.

Can.we get back the russian roullete for the magnum before any new weapons please as that feature.actually make it worth taking hostages

[Dwardo Rodregez 14]

To answer my own question. Yes the cars are still broken. 

Struggling to understand why the Dev`s seem so unwilling to address the issue. Or maybe just remove them until fixed?? They had to resort to removing all the Z`s at one point so its not unheard of. 

Really is like the big zombie elephant in the room, its hilarious now.

Who's to say they aren't willing to fix it? cars are tied to server performance/network and client performance, they did specify they plan on trying to fix it by the end of the year.

You don't know how big of an issue it might be to fix the cars, they will probably have to rework the entire physics engine, that takes time (even more time when you are short-staffed compared to AAA studios that make games on a smaller scale than DayZ).

Cars work somewhat fine IF: you have a good system, you have a good connection, you are playing on a good server... but that's too many "ifs".

There's a reason why so many flying car videos you see are on consoles. Slow hardware paired with bad servers = issues. Hope it get's sorted out by the end of the year so all car complainers can finally shut up.

Please forward me to a post where they have addressed the issue or cars recently. Some kind of plan or why its such a difficult issue to address. Or as I said just remove them until they work? 

Correct I have no idea how hard it is to resolve the issue and I would like to hear why. Honestly would be interested in an explanation as opposed to it just being ignored. 

Due to the nature of the game which is brilliant and had me hooked since day 1, means that you get invested in a character, its not run and gun after all. Then to put a lot of time into a character and have it all blown to bits by a bug that's been around for months/years is the killer. Yes getting sloppy and killed by Z`s is a part of the game. Same as being shot from afar due to not keeping you head down. Yet being killed by well known bugs time after time is just infuriating and ultimately game killing.

I assume the issue happens when server has to calculate physics, but your game lags or your network lags, or the server lags so dumb stuff happens. I mean... if other games have working cars, so it's not like it's impossible to implement it. It's just that it will probably require rewriting the entirety of physics calculation or a large majority of it (I'm just guessing).

For what it’s worth, I rarely have issues with cars on console anymore, and I usually play on full or nearly full servers. Especially since I upgraded to a Series X. Cars run fine. Traction still sucks but I can’t remember the last time I Harry pottered in one.

Definitely a overall server issue, but I’d love to see hard data on what types of connections and servers people are playing on when they see cars catapult. I’m sure it varies wildly. Maybe one day we will get a car focused stress test server to generate data.

Game crashed? You die.
Server lag? You die.
Network glitch? You die.
Hit a small immovable object at speed? You die.
Take off a wheel, and the car takes off? You die.
You die, you die, you die.

But please fix duping first. Give each item a UID in instantiation. If the server seems two items with the same id, nerf them both. Job done. No more excuses Bohemia - unlike the cars where it already seems to have been badly applied, this isn't rocket science.

It was shown as fixed in the Experimantal Fix 6 1.12.153895:

But with Stable Hotfix 2 1.12.153895 it is not shown as fixed?!

1.12 has been live a while now and people have been able to get a feel for what the various changes have brought, here is some feedback I have gathered from players on my servers about the infected dropping aggro when players fall unconscious:

• When a group of players is involved this is how it should be. Their first target drops - but someone else is on their "shit list" - so they go "kill YOU!!!" and run for that guy instead. The fallen player has a chance to wake up and crawl to safety to patch up while the others deal with the infected. It has added a fun dynamic to the gameplay.
• In PVP situations it is a similar feeling - if you get shot and drop unconscious you won't immediately be finished off by enraged infected, instead your would be killer has to deal with them first and you have a slight chance to survive despite everything. I've had some fun situations due to this.
• When solo it sucks. You get rushed by a horde and they beat you senseless. Then they just stand there gurgling until you wake up when they aggro again and knock you out again - this goes on until you are killed instead of knocked out. It creates a lot of frustration. Everyone I have talked to would prefer that the infected just finish them off right away... Either that or make the unconsciousness last longer so the infected have time to wander off - so they won't immediately attack again - or make it possible to "play" dead when you wake up - let the player decide when to actually start moving. This would also be useful in pvp situations

Other than that, whatever happened with infected eating the dead? I know it was planned and even briefly implemented in some 0.5X experimental build, but never seen since then: https://imgur.com/nI1iDsL

Managed to find the old video when that animation was mocapped with Dean Hall: 

2013!

So I assume that shock values are as they were, and we will still go uncon from .308 and x54r to the legs (if you get broken legs)? Could this get changed, breaking one's legs is enough of a punishment for a shot that missed center mass.

How Temporarily?  Like a few hours? 

Servers can manually turn this back on right?

Ah ok missed that one line lol. 

Would be nice to know why its so difficult to fix and why not just remove them? It is such a large part of the game yet it is ignored "aside from the one line posted above in more than a year"... Ignoring the fact just loses credibility all round. 

I await the next pumping out of a DLC to grab more funds that will be wasted and we still end up with a game that has Major flaws that are too silly to talk about.
