Yea you can still craft spears

To be clear, I was not talking about what the commenter above wrote. My issue is with zombies stopping dead in their tracks when chasing you.

Resolved

Sorry about my previous rudeness, the issue's been happening since I moved my computer to another town over and stopped using my phone's 4G to play DayZ. I thought that faster wifi would make it possible for me to play DayZ, but I think it's not that that's affecting my ability to play. Any advice on your front? Thanks!

Followed this to a T. Didn't help.

They have a 45 day persistence. That means if you don't interact with them for 45 days they will despawn. interacting in this case would be anything like adding or removing components from the wall's inventory and whatnot.

Hello Brother_Hao.
Do you experience this issue when taking items from dead bodies or also when looting in the world? And could you try to record a video for us?
