Then you have to split servers for each generation - old gen players have paid for the game after all and the technical requirements of the game haven't changed since it was released. Also the mid gen pro versions with SSD's seemed to handle the game quite happily with the only problem being the server desynch which happens regardless of which gen you are playing on. Then of course Bohemia will have to start working on and selling a new version of the game specifically for new gen consoles otherwise you are still playing the same game anyway ;)

If you're gonna go down that rabbit hole then gloves should also absorb blood and dirt and be a breading ground for germs (more so than bare hands imo) and require removal or thorough cleaning (boil washing) before eating.

... and keep the lock on the gate rather than it falling to the floor

just add a memory, one click open option for people who have entered the pass code correctly once before - it's so simple

if ammo is scarce on a server then being able to craft bolts means the crossbow is already OP regardless of raiding

^^ this is playstation, nothing to do with PC or Steam

doesn't the explosive come with its own detonator already?

as dumb as they can be at times they not only know every entrance or exit into/out of any building but they also know whether they are open or not without even seeing them.

read the patch notes

far better idea is to enable worms to be stacked and find 5 when you dig for them... wanna go for even more realism let us dig for worms with our hands just like is possible in real life

you haven't by any chance changed a keybind?

please no

what it a fix that might come in useful for others in similar circumstances?

The check pulse mechanic is in and of itself totally unnecessary anyway. It's of zero relevance ever to know someone else's blood pressure.

Even if point 2 is a bug it needs to stay. Genius!

read the patch notes when updates come out and you'll see the blowtorch is now used to fix engines

probably this: Fixed: Spawning objects with _DE-suffix by Object Spawner could result in them being duplicated with every server restart

yeah it's stupid, as is ruining 'the' spark plug... just busting the radiator should be enough

Imagine none of the guns in the game actually work and someone said what the game really needs is another gun that isn't going to work...

more likely a case of playing on a distant server with high ping, choose a closer one with low ping... oh wait you can't cos devs don't think ping is important enough to show console players lol

^ but he has purchased and is playing a game specifically made for and marketed at the system he is playing it on...

my meat just goes straight on the floor

Does that test on console measure the connection between you and the particular server you are playing on? Because that is all that matters.

i'd have thought increased head bob in zoom when sprinting or crouch running would be more effective and immersive

would be easier and safer to use the emergency hatch surely?

weird, my cpu barely goes above 5%... i always thought the game was heavily gpu dependant

tried another launcher?

seen that on other maps too

Weird, same here, just started happening after a restart having a few hours play without issues

would also be nice if the game didn't insist on putting matches in cooking pots full of water

build another gate that will push him out again?

Have a look at this: Illness and afflictions

Also alphabetical order should only start with the first/last letter of the alphabet, not a number, not a symbol, both of which should be ignored.

What you on about? Australia would be a great addition!

desync, he was holding a weapon on his end, you just didn't see it

mouse and keyboard players have far more competitive advantages than inventory management, controller only servers exist for that reason

I guess if your official tab only shows experimental/unstable servers then you're running experimental, but yeah you'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to write Experimental on the launcher somewhere

a common bug, happens randomly, has existed for years

did you build and place a shelter kit first?

there's been a general problem with using those stairs fullstop for some time now, let alone while aiming

yeah, can't understand people's complaints that the footwraps were too OP. All they really were was a form of going barefoot but using your rags in advance rather than afterwards. Basically a form of preparing in advance for something you might use later.

I don't think it's your problem but i experienced similar the other day and took the uninst/reinst steps to try and fix it no avail. I could load into servers, run about for between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes, then the sound would cut out and quite soon after the game would hang, along with Steam and server browser, just showing a static screen. PC was very slow and unresponsive and the mouse would be unusable too so had to use keyboard to navigate task manager to force quit.

I'd have thought that exactly the reason anyone would wear body armor to begin with?

why would you even go through quick menu when a mag can be loaded directly from inventory just by holding the reload button?

Plus the inventory stays open when stacking on PC currently...

The game has always behaved this way and it is by design.

Should be able to cook potatoes in fires/ovens IN their skins. As any kid who has ever camped out knows you can just chuck them in the campfire.

1st/2nd gears are useless in truck... always start driving in 3rd or 4th, the acceleration is much faster

so weird the actual game devs can't seem to manage what your part time modders do with ease

yep, just increase vehicles resistance to damage, simple

... and make the shoulder carried weapons disappear already! Looks so shoddy with them sticking through the roof and it's so simple to fix!

Far better to just count the KO logout as a kill in the killfeed logs, that way all other players wouldn't be annoyed and inconvenienced at all other times having to wait to restart.

i guess a relocate on logout would be a nice little escape feature for any players stuck in there due to the water trap too ;)

not possible someone lobbed something explosive in and ruined the vehicle making it despawn?

but wait, aren't these triggers are supposed to be analogue?

always a case of great ideas, poor implementation

seen this happen twice on twitch streams now... Freshspawns had to get very inventive lol

i think it's odd the engine turns off when driver exits... if you exit an automatic vehicle leaving engine on and car in drive without handbrake then it should continue moving, simple as. This could be a brilliant game mechanic, such as moving cover.

yep, same with fires and light glows from any other light source been an issue for as long as i've owned the game, coming up on 3 years now. Very hard to understand how they haven't fixed this yet, along with the other myriad of long standing bugs and the new ones added every update

haha they've been randomly warping through doors/walls of all buildings ever since i've had the game. As do all the animals.

only taken a month for someone to test and confirm this... doesn't bode well for a quick fix

^^ same. Two of us in tents at south side of Tisy military. Bomb comes in and we both scarper out south. I get sick, he doesn't but we both had 2 cuts. I had blood bag previously collected but no transfusion kit. So we sprint down to the little med centre below Sinystok about 2km away, with me stopping to be sick all the way, in the hope of finding one. No joy, so i logged out while another friend bought one up. Logged back in on edge of death, dropped blood bag, he made the kit up and gave me transfusion and i was good as new in minutes.

obviously you get out of the gas first, then bandage any cuts, then if/when you get sick do the transfusion

Why would anyone expect antibiotics to stop blood loss?

should be unlimited ammo stacks that automatically increase in weight and size when more is added... pointless to constrain unboxed ammo to single item slots when you can easily split and combine it anyway. All picked up ammo should automatically combine with like for like loose ammo already in inventory. If you only have single slots available in inventory then just fill to max in each slot letting you combine to a larger slot at your convenience.

yep, i can attest devs been aware of and ignoring this for years

if that's working as intended then you need to be able to put any and all items that already contain other items directly into other containers such as bags, crates, vehicles and barrels... as well as unpack a tent with a single button press leaving the contained items on the ground.

yeah right. NBC gear and raincoats have very little in game insulation already and to be honest require zero storage if they can just be donned over existing clothing, like in real life. Jackets replace vests. Trousers and shoes can be attachments to existing clothing. Gloves and hoods work as they already do.

Game chat will not work when in Xbox party chat

Working exactly as intended. You can't expect to be able to skip over to an empty server to continually resupply your guy staking out a specific position in the first server. Then imagine you didn't just skip between 2 servers, but a dozen, all at various loot spawns (mili, heli, plank etc.), and it wasn't just you, but a squad doing this. It'd kill the loot economy everywhere, it'd be worse than duping. Eventually entire geared squads could just teleport around together terrorising servers in rotation.

Why can't we start party chat within game and switch between party/game chats within game?

Scheduled for a fix lol

Entirely agree. It's disheartening to no longer play, let alone enjoy a game that you put so many hours into because of a run of buggy updates.

Yeah it has a purpose, it shines and glints in the light and gives your position away ;)

^ tomorrow tomorrow i love ya tomorrow you're always a day away

• tougher and better occupant protection against environmental impacts (crashes), not bullets or explosives of course!

It's a simple fix, just make the cars tougher and the occupants better protected... that way at least we can live with the extremely poor programming and actually enjoy driving.

The correct and easiest solution would be to make the player respawn at the exact place they went underground. At least that wouldn't break or require any changes to other game mechanics. After all, the game is obviously aware of the exact coordinates of every player character at all times.

Just turn them invisible inside vehicle, so simple...

huh, i'd have thought building a base as unraidable as possible was the entire idea. Is it also cheating to move your character while someone else is trying to shoot you..?

It's damage, not dirt. Just because a rag has become a bit threadbare or torn should not have any impact at all on any other rags it is placed next to. Your bag doesn't become damaged just because you put a damaged gun in it.

Seeing as the word gender no longer has any connection to biological sex, now being merely something you identify as in any particular moment, all the characters are any of the 75+ (and counting) genders you want them to be... i guess?

Only just becoming unplayable? I haven't played since 1.16 dropped with all the issues it brought to the party. Have since been waiting on the fixes to come in 1.16 hotfix, then 1.17, then 1.17 hotfix, then 1.18 but all that BI seem to achieve is introducing new bugs on top of old with each update.

that'll be the "fix" for this no doubt https://feedback.bistudio.com/T164590

Does anyone at BI test anything before going live these days?

Strange this has been assigned after the last poster pointing this bug out was told it was actually a feature only a couple of days ago!

It's a good mechanic.

Happens with and has always happened when zooming/scoping on any dynamic light source from distance. Don't expect a response on this one because it's been ignored for years already.

garden plots are pretty much useless anyway... in terms of resources and time needed along with the rapid despawning of any harvest... better off running in circles around the same area picking up the fruit and shrooms that you spawn in

Making garden plots only diggable on the actual ground, and only in soil, should be easy... after all it used to work that way perfectly well until a certain update dropped, so obviously just a lack of oversight and testing from the developers and them now seemingly more worried about adding new unwanted content than fixing the bugs their prior unwanted content created

Zombies don't one punch kill anyone and when they do attack they make a very distinctive sound, to the point you'd know it was a zombie even if server lag meant you couldn't see it. I'd safely assume if someone said 100% not a zombie then it isn't a zombie.

Yeah they knew this before they even released the update, but they did it anyway. Then they released the update hotfix and still haven't fixed it... kinda have to wonder why they bother with experimental servers if they still go ahead and release the updates full of the same bugs that were pointed out to them during the experimental phase :(

adjustable deadzone is great for combatting analogue stick drift... it just needs to be implemented correctly, which unfortunately it doesn't seem to be here

and expect to perform some public testing in the coming weeks

Yeah i noticed this after playing on build anywhere server a few months ago, having used a lot of single level watchtowers in the build.

By the same reasoning you should be able to see the blood wearing any gloves... and get sick if you don't remove the gloves before you eat... but hey, it's a gameplay mechanic

because every good fisherman knows you need to remove the hook from the line before you bait it
