Temporary fix (Serverside mod - you don't have to download it on client) , overrides 1h anims for torch and swap broken ERC>PNE to another 1h ERC>PNE anim

Thanks for clearing this up!
I can tell by your video that it takes a little more effort to do this on Livonia. Don't know why it didn't work for me... maybe I'm too clumsy.
Using this glitch on Chernarus felt way easier. Still, that's not what matters. What does matter is: We really need a fix for this one. Fast. The word is spreading and there are many reports about this one.

Thanks for the report! I was wondering why there were so many dead bodies lying around when I played yesterday...

1.) I have been able to reproduce this bug on Chernarus and Livonia. As well as the hammer, the meat tenderizer makes no sound. Not even if your try to hit a rock with it. This has been fixed before.

Interestingly, I haven't been able to confirm this on Livonia Vanilla, but on Chernarus Vanilla this really is a big issue.
Please fix this as soon as possible as this is bound to cause a lot of trouble.

First of all, I'd like to say a big thank you for the new additions in DayZ's current updated. It's so great to see how the game has developed over the last few years. I've been playing DayZ for about three years now and it's one of the games that brought me back to gaming and started my passion to play online with my friends. There are so many different ways how to play DayZ. Be it PvP or PvE, there's room for everything. The experiences it provides are unique. Hiding from other players, talking to someone you accidentally meet and enjoying just being "nice" or getting caught in a gunfight and barely making it; these things make my heart leap. I think many of you know this feeling as well. Your hand trembles and your heart beats like a drum while you recover from what has just happened.
I've played various other first person shooters and I've never had such intense feelings with any other game out there. That's what brings me always back to DayZ even when certain changes were unpleasant for me. In the end it's up to the developers to decide what they do and I'm sure they have spent a lot of thought on this decision.
