there are two hives. regular and hardcore. each creates its own character. you can transfer your character from hardcore to hardcore and from regular to regular. but not from hardcore to regular nor from regular to hardcore.

when you were on the first server you had 3rd person ON (= regular). when you connected to the new one you were in 1st person (= hardcore). I'm guessing your old character is still out there with all your stuff on a properly named REGULAR server. just connect to a REGULAR server and you should be fine.

the one you joined says "veteran" which usually means hardcore. Don't get confused by the "Hosted by .. Regular" (appearantly some text is cut off there and the real Hostname is hidden behind the last word of the line, "Regular")

Stand (not moving) in front of a wall, press the vault key V once while facing the wall and disconnect while you see your character step through the wall. Reconnect and you're out.

sounds high priority

did you turn down bloom effects in the configuration? if it's not that it might be post-processing effects or HDR.

did you read what the message says when you launch the game above the "I understand" button?

and you said you fell from the railing, which is at least 2 to 3 stories. drop a watermelon from that height onto a rock or gravel - your head would at least crack.

everybody dies at least a dozen times like that in this game. get over it, run back to your body and have your buddy cover the body. and thank him for bumping you down.

not really a hack, you actually do run faster with your fists up.

sucks to be you if you still can't defend yourself after 3 hours of looting. if anyone's an idiot, I'm sure it's you.

well, let me know when you find something useful in a tiny town in the void. seems like you either have to grow some balls to loot a hotzone to be able to defend yourself - or keep getting raped by people who know how to move and punch people to death with their bare hands. I yet have to see the speedhack to be able to confirm this, so downvoted for low priority.

weird. I usually have some kind of weapon within 15 minutes. hang in there draco, you can do it!

confirmed, same. even with a pristine cleaning kit.

confirmed true, you can't drag it into the hands box from the vicinity box. only right clicking the item and selecting "put blablabla in hands" option works.

Confirmed, absolutely nothing there.

there is no 'L' keybind... :P

@R834: read more carefully. It knocked HIM out while he was trying to revive a player. And YES it is supposed to revive dead people. The purpose of a Defibrillator is exactly that, to revive a person whose heart has stopped (= dead).

check the Filters in the lower left of the serverlist

OMG! CALL THE PRESIDENT!

downvoted

check filters, set higher ping and remove everything else

not optimistic, but naive.

there's a police station in Zelenogorsk, noobs.

happens mostly in forests to me

you can actually carry one weapon in your hands (look at it while it is on the ground and select "Put .. in hands") while the other is on your back. You will lose the one in your hands if you disconnect or the server resets tho'. Still, fair enough IMHO.

experienced the same. that was one hungry sounding rabbit I tell ya...

no no no no nooooo. the blurryness indicates your HEALTH status. faded colors indicate your BLOOD level. you can be pretty full on blood but at the same time severely impacted on health. you should watch this for a more in-depth overview on how the system works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVGxHTXbaoo

confirmed, same. even when holding my breath before shooting, bi-pod deployed, pristine condition scope and weapon and bi-pod - doesn't help much.

that doesn't change anything. you have to disable notifications individually under "My Account" then "Preferences", there change the settings and hit "Update Prefs".

minor bug, downvoted due to non-priority

this is not a bug. feature suggestions have nothing to do here no matter how much you want it. besides the game is in alpha - nobody said these won't be implemented.

downvoted

@Frosti: that can't be the case, since he didn't delete sounds etc. He would've heard something.

I think 0010203 guest had the most plausible explanation so far.

hm this confusion could be solved if one would get info on the cause of death (keep it simple, i.e. "cause of death: shot.")

if there is no info it remains a mystery and may be a bug (easier to trace)

hmm hard to say. maybe sneaky axe to the head? then again, maybe it is really a bug. provide as much info as you can to help figure this out.

sniper from long range possibly. been there, done that. no sound heard because of great distance. also bullet velocity is faster than sound - you are dead before you hear the shot (if hearable at all at great range). :P

well I don't know how the Mosin works but usually the way to reload a cylinder is to hold it up so ALL casings fall out and then you reload. you don't fiddle around for half an hour to get one single casing out with your fingernails.

check your steam settings for the screenshot key...

Windows 8 is your real problem..

GaryDave you're so obsessed to be right that you don't see that you've been wrong the whole time and I corrected your error.

You noticed missing characters, but that was it. Then I commented that it is only special characters that are causing the questionmarks and also mentioned that damaged books may be partially unreadable because parts would be missing - which is an entirely different thing and a feature.

Refuse to acknowledge it all you want - yet no more comments are necessary to sum this bug up.

"SPECIAL CHARACTERS CAUSE QUESTIONMARKS" should've been the whole bugreport and no further comments. That is why I corrected your unspecific report and called it CASE CLOSED.

You're so arrogant to admit an error you must be french...

@Snapydubi: you are absolutely right, but that was already reported in a separate bugreport.

ugh.. fine I made ONE mistake while you made dozens. get over it, dumbo.

lol that is not proof. book is still damaged and wasn't even opened. you're the one bringing this up, you're the one who has to bring proof. find a book in perfect condition and start reading it. you might even learn something, who knows..

special characters like ä, ö, ü are missing without replacement (just empty space), no matter what the condition. you however have questionmarks replacing regular characters, meaning the book is too damaged to read those.

these are two different things:

• special characters missing = bug. (not the one you reported though)
• regulars replaced by questionmarks when damaged = feature.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. The book you have is DAMAGED so parts of it are unreadable.

I noticed on a german book that the special letters are completely missing though (ä, ö, ü).

Case closed.

or stick to the same server host at least

step 1: find a well and drink till you're full. not that hard. it's a survival game.

not a bug.

There is no Magnum in your inventory... (screenshot)

check the CONDITION of ALL rounds you've put in (split the pile in 6 single rounds). some might be ruined.

Cause of death: diabetes. ;)

yeah, it's called being in PAIN. D'UH! take painkillers, dummy.

p.s.: it takes a couple minutes (like in real life) for painkillers to have an effect.

this has been reported already

Disagree too, it depends on how populated servers are.

if not reproduce-able you might've been sniped without hearing the shot (long range)

@Matt: isn't this the kind of bug that one would rather keep hidden from other reporters view? I mean this feedback forum is slowly but surely becoming a blackbook for tipps & tricks. if one creates a post marked as "private" will you the admins be the only ones able to see that report?

feature request, not a bug.

downvoted

confirmed

agreed

OMG this needs to be fixed ASAP! it's quite a bug alright. Vote this up if you want to prevent death by ammo grab.

was it during nighttime when you got this? if so I might have gotten this during daytime with the colors of my surroundings on my screen look like a giant blur that goes in one direction. opening the inventory with tab fixes this for me. hitting the video button in the settings (if you can see it) might fix it as well.

D'UH! have you ever opened a can of something WITHIN a backpack? when you do this in the game, it assumes correctly that you take it out of the backpack, open it, and then stores it in the next possible slot. D'UH!

still, must be the most amusing report. especially the additional information.

voted up. I have to agree, some weapons are too hard to hit 'em with. we've all seen how easy it seems to be in The Walking Dead, right? ;) make the weapons have less damage than i.e. an axe but tweak the pointy parts a bit so it's not impossible without losing half your life.

yeah you should open up a store or something, sell that sh#t..

Yeah, this is NOT RESOLVED in the latest patch. Works 50% of the time on servers with the latest patch version 113860.

N O T R E S O L V E D ! ! !

Look at the item with your crosshair to be able to pick it up with the middle mouse button.

pgup and pgdown works too

I realize it is realistic. But is is not realistic that you can't see anything and someone far away can see you easily because he doesn't see the grass on long distances.

Guys, no need to be d#cks. I'm just trying to help improve this game.
OF COURSE I know there are fields like that. But not EVERYWHERE. Maybe decrease the amount of tall grass? Or make some areas more covered than others. I have to admit I got saved by the tall grass sometimes through concealment. But I also would like to be able to go prone in a combat situation sometimes WITHOUT having to be on pavement or high ground.

Edit: Sure it looks like that in Chernobyl and Pripyat. After 30 years of noone living there and tending the land.

nope, even with the latest patch v. 113860 it still only works 50% of the time. server dependent (tried on several servers ALL running 113860)

what Redklaw said

that is a server issue I believe

how about stop exploiting the game you cheap shot, AmirBK

nope, downvoted because fisheyes AND regular scope powers is just too much for you "fishheads".

EDIT: actually, let's just get rid of the FOV slider and deal with this that way. fair game for all the same.

It's not a bug. If you notice things around you seem generally further away with a high FOV. D'UH!

Nope, latest patch version 113860 which SUPPOSEDLY fixes the stop on weapon switch only works about 50% of the time. It's server dependant. Tried on several servers with the latest patch.

the problem here is your own footsteps are too loud and the others are ok. I often have the problem that I turn around on the spot and my own footsteps make me wonder whether there is someone else walking nearby or not.

Make own footsteps less loud and other people's footsteps leave the loudness as they are.
