Same to me - 3 times from Thursday.

Also agree. I was killed three times this week by cheater. 5 seconds after I login to the server and the game started he teleported right in front of me and shot me twice. It was very fast, came out od nowhere and killed me.

This problem is server related. I tried it on several servers and sometimes I was frozen to death in 30-45 minutes and it didn`t matter how much I tried to heat up. Clothes, moving, fire, hot food ... nothing helped until I died from hypothermia.

I also tried Vilayer servers and I can confirm, that these servers are OK. No problem with cold, these work fine and I can play for hours with no hypothermia problem.

So this must be problem somewhere in server configuration.

I can't see any problem now. If I eat and drink to get "energized" and "hydrated" status I am able to to keep these statuses just consuming sodas. So it is quite easy for me to stay well fed.
Water sources are almost everywhere so it is impossible to die of thirst. Also there is usually a lot of food if you search inland villages.
Yes, at beginning you have to eat a lot od stuff to be fully energized but then it is quite easy to keep it. Sodas ar everywhere and wated resources also. So in my opinion it is fine now. May be too easy.

Same on my rig.

Core i5 4670K ... OC to 4.4GHz
8GB DDR3-2133MHz
Gigabyte HD7870 OC edition, tested also on Gigabyte 290X OC
Windows 7 64bit

Startcommands:
-cpuCount=4 -maxMem=8192 -noSplash -noPause

Game version 0.42

It does not matter whether I play using HD7870 or 290X OC, I still have massive FPS drops to somewhere about 10-20 fps in every bigger city like Electro, Cherno, Svetlo, Berezino ...

Also here, since 0.42 version I can hear more of these random sounds. Zombies, gate openning, steps, reloading weapon ...
