Loss of weapons and game freeze, suggestions.

Description

Hi

Enjoying the game, been waiting for it on xbox for ages and never played it before.

Game freeze: Game was a bit laggy near 'Electro'. It got a bit dark so I went into a building and started chatting with another player I heard nearby. Seems that initiating chat or maybe proximity to the other player caused my game to freeze. The screen just froze. I was able to log back into the same server and chat with the same guy, he was kind enough not to kill me. It did it once more during that interaction in the room then was fine after.

Loss of weapons: I was in a small house in a village (sorry not sure which village) and dropped my SG by another item to look at the new item then I couldn't pick up my SG again. I tried everything with shuffling items in my inventory. There wasn't even an 'X' icon over weapon to pick it up. I dropped my hatchet to see if that would make room for the SG but then couldn't pick up the hatchet either (no X icon). I don't think this was user error.

Later on dropped my Scorpion to eat some beans then definitely picked up the Scorpion again and continued walking along roadside for maybe 15 seconds when the server crashed. Illegible red text in middle of screen then server disconnected. When i spawned back in my Scorpion was gone completely from my inventory even though I had picked it up before the crash seemingly occurred.

Suggestions: Would be good to have the ability to stealthily climb over low garden fences in the dark when it's hard to see proximity of threats. A running vault with associated sound effects isn't very stealthy especially if you're being brave enough to travel and scavenge at night instead of just logging out as soon as it gets dark. Maybe make the night a bit more appealing somehow? Have some nights where it doesn't actually get that dark which is realistic for summer at least.

The ability to change control schemes. I play other FPS games and the controls for Dayz have been a bit confusing and hard to get the hang of.

The ability to pick up more items to hands would be good like when you open a tin of food you have to put it in inventory then into hands to eat.

Ability to switch between weapons with a push of a button instead of by having to enter the menu with right bumper and select from there. Ability to always be able to switch between items in that menu regardless of inventory size. At present if you pick up an item and put it in inventory it can prevent you being able to switch between items in the right bumper menu which could easily get you killed. A few times i've gone to switch to my tin of beans to take down a zombie and can't so have to switch to an unsilenced weapon to kill it resulting in carnage. If the size of this inventory was limited from the outset and not influenced by items placed into jacket, trousers etc i think that would be better. You couldn't pack that inventory full of heavy items but at least you'd know you could switch between them at a moments notice. This would help with eating as you could put a food item in there and switch to it without having to drop your primary weapon and potentially loose it as above.
