I agree too. Night time is currently unplayable without boosting gamma to maximum and this result in a pure grey level game. Flashlight cone is really too small, gaz lamp is fine but we can't use them with handgun. Strange because personnaly I've two hands and I totaly can pick two objects, a flashlight and a gun. And looses accuraccy is totaly ok when holding a weapon one handed.
I found something interesting :

I have an unrelated question : how can I see attached file? :/

I don't know if it related or not but yesterday I've got shot in the head and felt unconscious (not dead, strange, maybe .22 round but nobody was close enough to make that shot). After a minute or two, server restarts. When I came back, I was still unconscious (first time unconscious+restart don't kill me) but I wake up quickly and the only one thing that was ruined was my cowboy hat (proof that I've been shot in the head).
Character still alive after one other server reboot.

I don't think Dayz can actually use more than 2047MB, soft coded limit for 32 bit app. 64 bit should be able to, but since Dean says there is no more loot, nor npc on those, there is no reason to use more RAM for the moment. The gain 32 vs 64 is somewhere else. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/29ngql/64bit_servers_are_already_being_used_in_half_of/cimobso

3.25GB was the OS limitation (not the instance limitation) of 32 bit version of windows home and pro, server was never limited to 3.25 even back in XP time.

So half server are 64 bit, and according to Dean "there has been no noticeable performance increase", so hotbar still no respond quickly.

Maybe, I don't double check my thoughts, my bad. Still, how do you know wich server you are in? I'm interested to test 64bits and have no clue how to find one.

Deans says half of experimental were upgrade to 64 bit. How do you know you were not still in 32 bits?

I think the last 2 things that are disabled are your ability to move and fire. Access your weapons if you cannot do the 2 listed above is useless.
Again this should be fixed with 64bits server and I think that's why no one from the staff is replying to this issue.

Here have my link :

Rocket says that :
"When the server drops FPS, for any reason, bad things start to happen. The server slows it's various simulation tasks down to, in a desperate attempt to cope, remedy the situation. It stops servicing all the scripts. It changes how often it is updating simulation."

Yes I know that and like I said, the server will disable a few function depending on how much fps it runs. Hotbar is one of those functions, inventory is another. I never said it will disable all at once ;)

It's more or less the same that your ability to interact with your inventory to eat, reload, inspect etc. When the server become slow and drops below a certain fps level (cause yeah, server have fps issue too), the server "chooses" to disable a few functions to keep your player able to move and shot. It will disable eating, drinking, reloading...
We have to wait until 64bit server for this to be fixed.
