With regards to the first issue regarding servers, refreshing the page/restarting the game does nothing, every server marks its population status as “empty.”

With regards to the other problem having to do with incapability if performing mending capabilities, I’ve tried everything, putting a backpack on the ground and lether in hands but doesn’t give option to fix it. I’ve also tried keeping the backpack on and pressing (B) combine and using it, but it’s never mended, and instead continues to read “Badly-Damaged” status. This also applies to other clothes and sewing kits.

If this could be resolved as soon as possible that would be great, as I am forced to join servers blind, often ending up in highly populated servers unwillingly, and also am forced to watch my character’s clothes and backpack break before my very eyes because the repairing is broken. Thanks for reading this lengthy complaint, I understand you guys are being flooded with reports and are working your tails off, and I really appreciate it.
