Seems to be better here as well. As vatixerid said, I'm still getting small freezes while maneuvering through larger towns, but my PC isn't high-end as well.

Died three times today because of this. It's a real pain, and seems to happen more when moving around (vs sitting around in a small area).

Condition of the Walkie-Talkie does not matter. I've found multiple, in different conditions, and none of them allow me to change my chat channel.

Had this happen to me last night. Was going down a ladder, and stopped for a second halfway through. My legs broke and I instantly died.
