Whenever I go to interact with an item, such as trying to rip a t-shirt etc, I cannot get any options up to interact with items. It seems that I don't have the issue when you have to drag and item onto another for example the Battery and Flash light, but with items I need to right click on to see the options I do not see the options, all it says is "receiving" for a split second then dissapears. This can be game breaking as from an early point in the game I find myself needing to bandage myself from an early zombie attack and because of this I am unable to do so.

This is due to server lag. You might just have to switch servers to find one with a better connection.

oh OK, I've had the issue with most servers. Might be my connection, thanks for the feedback though.

Yes, this is due to server lag, it's still an issue that is fixable by the devs. The solution is optimistic response assumption. The client probably has all the information to determine which actions are currently available on an item, given that the current game state known to the client is correct. So it can just display those to the user. As soon as the server responds with the actually available actions the UI can be updated accordingly. If the user already selected an invalid action, the server will eventually respond with some kind of "Invalid action" message that can just be displayed to the user. In the vast majority of cases the action selected by the user should be actually available and the user experience will be much smoother and more responsive.

I understand, it seems that every now and again it works, im sure its due to the server as when i place things on the ground (vicinity) they dissapear for good, so im pretty sure it's down to lag from the server and not giving all the info to the client. I hope this can be fixed or maybe made smoother by the dev soon, I've connected to the lowest ping servers <35 ish ping and still have the issue. It might be a combination of my internet plus the servers as my internet is pretty unstable lately.
