I'd say that this was just to simulate them shuffling a little as they stand there. Even seriously infected people get aching feet from time to time. Just standing there must be agony. A shuffling sound needs to be added to replace the single footstep sound.

It's not something that server owners can do, I know, I am a server owner...

I have also experienced this same issue, but only since the update to 0.46.

Four times in recent days. Once, while walking (WALKING) up the stairs in a 'school house', once while climbing the ladder to the roof of a 'School house', once while walking up the stairs in a police station, and once while putting on newly found replacement trousers in a castle ruin.

Sometimes, you say? I tell you, I experience this very same issue almost 90% of the time. I have tried repeatedly to draw items using their allocated quick task menu button, and nothing happens, or, worse still, the come out and go straight back away again. Nothing to do with the polling speed of my keyboard, as I have tried it on several different speeds, and it's the same. I think it might be a server lag issue.

While I agree that the primary threat to your survival in this game should indeed be zombies, making them able to run faster than a living person, is ridiculous.

After all, these things are DEAD. Their musculature is decaying, so they should not have better strength or stamina, or agility than a living human survivor.

Also, since they are DEAD, and in my experience of dead people, their eyes cloud over as the cornea of the eyeball essentially degrades, decays and deteriorates. This would cause a zombie's visual acuity to DECREASE, not to increase. As a result, dead things should definitely NOT be able to see a survivor at the current distances that the can at present. I've seen what, in my estimation, amounts to a Zombie spotting a survivor at a range of about 500m and instantly aggro'ing on that person. Not only that, but the zombie chased them from Elektro, all the way to Cherno, and actually manages to outrun the survivor it latched onto, catching them up.

Also, Since we are on the subject of decaying corpse and withering senses, I'm fairly sure that their sense of hearing is a bit too good too. I understand that they would swarm towards a LOUD noise, such as a gunshot, but they react and swarm over tiny sounds, such as eating a banana, drinking a soda, or talking in direct chat to a friend who is just a few metres away. Time to slightly deaden their sense, don't you think?

Here's an idea for you... Zombies are dead. Dead things decay. Decay smells bad. While there is no way to have a sense of smell in the game, there should be some indication that a smelly, dead, decayed thing is nearby... Perhaps in a radius around a Zombie, the air could be a different hue, which only becomes visible if you are within that certain radius?

Your leg is broken. Use sticks and bandages to craft a splint, then apply splint to your leg. Also, morphine to dull the pain. Next time, be more careful where you walk. I always use WALK to ascend or descend stairs, ladders and to move around on the top floors/roof areas. You should try that...

My friend and I were roaming on a server which went into a restart. When it restarted, we rejoined the server, to be greeted first with a message saying that our characters couldn't be loaded in, and that we had been reset. Admin has been informed. Fresh spawn. Went to another server... Fresh spawn. Another server... You are Dead... Cannot respawn. So, the server restart effectively killed us both? Seriously? WTH?!?
