Walking when crouching makes a strange noise that makes no sense when holding a crossbow in hand on consoles, please check this

Yup, completely deleted. Good thing I had backups... Someone failed a cut'n paste before the build was packed.

Why shouldn't it be possible to look at one's inventory inside a car? In which parallel universe is this not possible?

YOU... when you get into a car, can you no longer look at (and take) the objects you have in your pockets or bags?
Why are you always trying in every way to make this game absurd, unreal and idiotic to play?

😠  😡  🤬

[Xeonmeister 22]

Bolts now go to ruined in like 10 shots, you cant be serious about this.

[Riddick_2K 173]

They're doing it worse than the ugliest arcade around... from forever, sadly... Luckily there are mods.

Steam still doesn't include a mpmissions folder contents for those of us running community servers (in fact the update before this deleted what was there from the first build of 1.21).  Do you think we can get this fixed or a response so that we can run our own testing of EXP builds please?

Edited May 12, 2023 by Sileed

[JoeyB123 6]

It states resolving an issue for directly loading the crossbow with bolts stuck in players and AI.. But you cannot retrieve bolts from infected unless you leave, body disappears and it's left, or you bury it. 

Will it be altered so we can get bolts back from zeds at least?

verify your dayz experimental server files via steam. the missionfiles are there (again) since the 3rd of may.

hmm i dunno about an app to verify files.

just right click on dayz experimental server in your steam library -> properties -> local files -> verify

if it still fails for whatever reason - get the files from their github (google BohemiaInteractive DayZ-Central-Economy - links are blocked in this forum, so i dont bother anymore copy/pasting them here.).

@lemmac Basically, armbands have a very simple model and interactions with other clothing.

This is because they go over your arm, and all of the clothing items share a very similar shape on the arm. This makes interactions between armbands and clothing very simple. You have a single ring (the armband) that goes over a tube (the arm clothing), and it works exactly the same for any armband/clothing combination.

If headtorch straps were to work the same, they would have to take shape from the thing you're wearing them over. This means a different shape for every single piece of headwear in the game (all the different hats, caps, helmets). Can it be done? Sure. Is it worth the workload?

Yeah just tried on another zed I got the prompt to load or pick up it this time, didn't see it on first one maybe it was just bad luck. Will have to kill a load n see.

I mean 5-10 would be good for hardcore servers i guess or servers with more focus on survival. However, on the more casual servers, this is really low durability. And keep in mind im talking about the normal bolt that you can find. Crafted bolts lasting 5-10 shots is all good because they are made of wood and you can craft them any time, but finding even 5 normal bolts takes a lot of time. Having such a low durability makes them useless compared to the wooden ones.

Noice! Crossbow.  Does this maybe mean we will be getting the craftable bow back in the future?

I think so too. The bows might be more complicated to make, so the devs adjust the mechanics on a simpler weapon — the crossbow. And the bow requires new unique animatiobns which looks nothing like handling a regular gun, while the crossbow does.

It was possible to open the inventory while entering vehicles

And why this should be fixed at all?
If there is a problem with dropping items from the inventory while in the car, drop them out of the window! 🙂(read: leave on the ground next to the car)
