Okay I did some more diving and found the issue

I have tried this a few times actually. The issue that I think occurs is when you go to delete save data there is just a “Delete All” options

I know I am able to still play the game. But having a favorites feature is quite convenient and useful as no one that plays DayZ just plays on one server. Having to manage the various servers I am interested or actively playing on individually by searching is quite a hassle. Yes basic and a house keeping thing….

You may have discovered this by now. But have you tried i loading the box first. There is no prompt to unload box of ammo but this is required in order to use the bullets to load

I've discovered this seems to be defendant on the back. Alice backpack seems to guarantee the blocked scope... for now I've resorted to crouch and shoot while using scope

Absolutely correct. Both me and my partner figured out it's the scrolling to the bottom. My suspicion is while doing it with d-pad.

Found a fix... it's a way to bypass the item being stuck in your hand (maybe unless its food) (but my gun was bugged in my hand so this fix works like a charm)

Can't grub when stuck with guns :/
