Just found a UH1 on a persistent server and no loot around it. It might have been looted by other people I could not say for sure. I did look around it further out to see if the loot had spawned away from the crash site, but found nothing. Not conclusive but we shall see over time if this is a problem.
Yep in one run I encountered 3 MI crash sites and none of them had any loot in them or 40m around them that I could see. That was on a persistent server. I hope they fix this soon as what is the point of these crash sites where they have unique items that you cant get to test.
I was on a server that reset whilst playing on it. I went back onto that server and looked for crash sites I found 1 UH crash site, but no loot. As it was a fresh restart and only 1 other person was on at any time when looking for the crash sites I don't think it was looted and if it was I would expect to see items they would have removed to make room for anything of interest at the crash site. I was at the crash 20 mins after reset so not that long. I was on a 1 person server with persistence on.
I have sort of experienced this. I found the loot first then about 10-20 meters away the crash site. If I had found the heli first I would think the same as the op no loot spawning.
I agree zombie path finding seams to have gone back to the good old days, ops comments are valid but could be a bit more objective.
Is any one getting on? as on the server list it says 0/50 on all exp servers for me.
There was no one on the server so I would have to be very unlucky to be robbed. And taking my boots and trousers that didn't have anything of great interest in them? And the type of crash has been reported by me before and files attached. If you want me to re-send the information let me know.
Don't think so. I noticed that some times you use something, but the action does not finish thus stopping you doing anything else when you go back to the inventory screen. You can run around and do other things by placing them in your hand. It is not until you find something that says do you want to cancel the action that things go back to normal. E.g drink a can you don't get the drinking action then go to inventory and find you cant do anything. Find another can it says cancel action when you interact with it. So it looks like you have done something, the world acts as normal until you try to do something within the inventory screen and can't do anything. The thing stopping inventory interaction is an unfinished action.
can Happen when you swap backpacks to
I have no problem with things being hard to get, but I wish they would spawn in other places not just curtain areas. Then people would explore more and not go straight to the best loot areas. Yes military places and police stations should be the main place for the high chance of getting guns, ammo and mil kit, but not the only places to get them.
meleeing them would be good if you didn't miss them as much, you didn't get bleeds all the time and they didn't fuck you kit up so quickly. I do think the damage they do to you at the moment is spot on.
Oh great another exp server caught in a rest cycle. Thats only 3 1st person servers working as far as I can see now
Are the devs looking into this as the servers go into a loop after a while?
the servers on exp 1st person uk and de are on a constant reset cycle again.
We are going to get broken code, but some need urgent fixes like this. And as you say how can we test it if we can't get into the game.
did they do any checks before releasing this update? as this is a game stopping bug.
I get they spawn in on gun shots and may be them homing in on the noise, but when you have moved some distance from the original firing point and they still home into your new position and when you are in cover and quite there is something wrong, Or is that just me?
on 0.49 I take out 2 zeds in tree line just north of bolota airfield control tower. I stay in tree line to observe the airfield. I see a zombie spawn in 300 meters away and watch it head straight for me. Dispatch that one after moving back a bit. go take up my position again 60 seconds later 2 more zeds are on me. After that I thought fuck it take my chances looting the airfield as the zombies just keep on spawning in and going after me when they can spot see me, but I haven't spotted them. I hope they get this fixed as it is rather annoying that they know your exact location even when hidden or moved on some distance from where you shot them.
Having the same problem with fire axe hits to the head, not sure about body. One zed I had to shoot as I could not hit it with axe at all after at least 10 attempts while it was standing still. It was hitting me fine lol
Went for a swim on 0.49 and had the same problem.
I agree the trash should be recycled.
I have spent 2 hours looking for loot on exp HC and found next to nothing. Yes I can tell people have been there before me, but I wasn't even finding that much junk let alone any thing else. I was also on when the server rest. When I got back on doors that where open where closed now, but still no loot. Way to go devs how to kill a game.
Still no change on 0.49 it goes straight to burnt.
I agree there should be more of a balance and may be have all spawn points have the chance of one of all the items on the list spawn at that point. Balancing out by military places have a higher chance of military kit spawn in, police stations have higher chance of police items spawn there and so on. So you might have a lucky fined in the less looted spots to get something good as well. Just a thought.
I have had this problem for the last 2 mouths and I feel the devs aren't that interested at the moment as I have posted it and seen others with the same problem posting too. I find it has to do with "field of view" setting for me. With it at its very lowest setting I can play ok without a crash. When I start to make it any higher that is when I start getting the crashes. The crash will happen at random times, but the larger the field of view the quicker it happens. It would be nice of them to sort it out as it is hard to fight the zeds when your field of view is narrow. I like to have my field of view about 1/4 of the way up the bar, but can't because of the crash. As it usually happens at the worst time when fighting a zed. By the time you are out of the game you are either dead or royally F***ed and its no fault of yours.

I do like the zombie re spawn, but you it seams that once you kill one its just a zombie spawn fest. The game feels like for every one you kill you must have more to come in. Even with a silent axe kill you get zombies spawn in and come after you so the game dynamic is not correct. It is set at kill one zed you must get more regardless of the way you took them out. And you can see them spawn in front of you.
Still happening. This is on exp 0.49.124857
yep happens in experimental.
I have had this problem for some time now and it is getting worse. There is no set time period. I can play for several hours and nothing will happen then other times within 30 mins the game will drop to desktop. It will happen more often if the field of view is maxed out. When you drop the field of view the game drops to desktop less. Since the last update with the field of view at its lowest setting I'm dropping down to the desktop more often than the .45 version. I could play all day on .45 with the lowest field of view setting and no crash.
It would be nice if you could let us know what is happening with this bug?
very informative! I'm sure they can help with all the information you have supplied them to fix these crashes and glitches.
I have a pristine knife, cooking pot, gas bottle and stove. It happens to me to. Meat goes from raw to burnt, and I was keeping a eye on the steaks.
I found it made the game unplayable on experimental. It took me 10 mins to get out of a house as I would be teleported back to it.
Yep had a look and found nothing but roads and trees in that area.
Yep have the same problem as well and also the sight on fnx red dot is a dotted white square.
Thanks for the update Kira. I sent you the files you that you asked MiCaCtus for. I hope they help. By the way I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed 335.23 as of the 10/4/2014.
This bug is starting to get very annoying I just died as my screen went black and minimized just before I got attacked by a zed. By the time I got back in my character was all fucked up then died from bleeding as all my kit was ruined. This bug is starting to reproduce itself more often thus making the game almost unplayable. Can you look into this as it has been reported on other posts over the last month.
yes I get this problem every so often. I have a GTX650 and the latest nvidia drivers. But when I have this problem I don't have ruined kit when it happens.
I have an Nvidia gtx 650 and get the same problem.
haven't had the one shot yet, but do spend all of my time with ruined shirts and broken arms/legs from zombie attacks.
It would be good if stealth killing with an axe or such like stopped the zeds spawning in. I have done the old stealth kills and found that I still get attacked by several zeds that have spawned in after the first kill.
Zombie damage does the same. In one hit he ruined my trouser which were only worn and the magnum in them which was pristine.
Yep has been like this for some time. Even the military camps have not got there loot back yet. It would be nice for more places to spawn loot with there being more items to get in the game and more on there way.
I do like the zombies, But they give out to many bleeds/broken bones on a hit, the chance for these types of damage should be reduced. There attack distance is to high as they can hit me, but I can't hit them with an axe at the same distance. And they damage equipment to quickly a lot more. The grater part of the damage should be on me and not the items I am carrying IMOP. Not saying the above should go, but when more zeds are added this would make the game unplayable and I'm not looking forward to loosing my currant character and his kit as it will be very hard to stay alive with no bandages/rags as they are hard to get with the current hit to bleed ratio.
Yep I have had this happen
I like the new re-spawn for zeds, but they are doing what rocket didn't want to happen appear out of no were right in front of you. Plus they do to many bleed hits, spend to much of the game bandaging.
One thing I did find the forested area north of Kamenka by the area where the road does a Z left hand side of road facing north. that area of the forest got very laggy, logged out due to lag then later logged back into same area different server and the lag was still there and I went from rain to sun so weather wasn't the issue
I like the fact that zombies are more of a challenge, But the constant bleeding is a pain in the ass. You should not be bleeding from every zombie hit and they damage your equipment far to quickly as well. It was a bit of a surprises to kill 1 zombie the find 4 or 5 after you when you haven't seen that many in the area, but not a bad thing when you get used to it. Only other problem I have with them is their AI is far to good when you can't see them, but they can see you and the old clipping. They should have got that sorted first then did the zombie spawning IMOP.
that might be why it took me a hole mag for 3 zeds which where within 10 meters of me lol.
The 9mm pistol is no better it took me 1 hole mag (15 rounds) to get 3 zombies down. It seam that the 9mm takes at least 2 rounds to down a zed so wont be using this pistol again unless the damage is upped a bit.
yep had that in the hospital in SE mil camp
Yep getting this on 0.42, Had it on also 0.35. On 0.42 when I drop to windows screen I have the message graphics has stopped working. I have an nvidea gtx650 with the latest drivers installed.
Finding it the same and it is starting to get very frustrating. Just as you get some were in the game your character gets rest and you are starting from scratch through no fault of yours. I know it is Alpha and all but can the developers start to iron out the current bugs in the game before adding new things in and creating more issues.
Oh well I see some people don't think this is an issue that it mainly spawns in one place. Well the cat is out of the bag now and fire stations are the main place to get one. Good luck trying to find one now :-).
I do and have spent many many hours searching in military buildings and not found one fnx mag. Loads of M4 ones and loads of fnx pistols. The only place I have found them regular is at the fire stations. At Military installations it must be very, very low down in the drop rate.
Yep found 2 in one session. All at a fire house. My point remains though I haven't found them any where else.
Don't understand why people voted down as they are not spawning in their other locations only the fire stations as far as I can tell. Or am I hugely wrong.
R834 Thx for restoring my faith. So they still do exist in the game. Albeit on a rare spawn in.
Yep confirmed I have had this happen twice to me, very annoying.
I'll use this thread as it is the fire station and falling kind of. I'm at the very top of the fire station at cherno I'm crouching and then walk to the outside steps to go down to the main roof. I get the little triangle to say I can climb down. I use my middle mouse button for the action to get on the steps. Next thing I know I'm falling then dead. The programing made me miss the steps completely. Any one else had this happen?
Yep found when drinking a can straight from the spawn area it puts an invisible 0% one in my an empty inventory slot thus making it unusable. When I re-log back into the game the cans will appear in my inventory.
still there on update 35
also fell in to a closed office from the room opposite the stairs on the first floor
And again in the fire station next to the power station at electro. I was on the second floor when I got the dead message. No one near me as far as I could tell no footstep sounds no shots heard. It is starting to make the game unplayable as far as I'm concerned.
I have had the same happen to me at Zelengorsk just died on the second floor of the bar. As far as I could tell no one was near me and only about 8 people on the server at the time. Thought it might have had something to do with the weather as there was a thunder storm and I died right after the thunder clap. My PC did get a bit laggy during the storm. PC Specs are intel quad core 3.4 hz, 12GB ram, windows 7 64 bit, GeForce gtx 650
Yep have found this trick as well.
Yep had this happen at the fire station in cherno at the very top on the roof.
