I know I'm in the minority on this but, except for a few minor things, I'm really enjoying the current version of the game.

What I'm not enjoying, however, is the fact that every single game the last 2-3 weeks has had constant lag spikes and server disconnects. I or my partner has been dropped from the server (and it dosent always tell you this!) at least once a night.


Crytek has claimed they arent sure why this is happening.

It's been quite a bit longer than 2-3 weeks though if it's happening every game then it may have gotten worse. Per patch notes they've been investigating server instability since 1.0, I think.

Okay do I have a reason to not have Cadwell Conversion Chain and Fanning always as my secondary? I have about twenty hours in and I do well, killing bunch and often getting out alive. I struggle to see the point of other weapons.

I don’t know how much of it is the fact that it has a weird population, but with premade threesomes basic fireteam tactics are so loving effectice. Basic flanking will wreck the opposition.

Fanning/chain pistol is a great combo, but don't get too confident in it. Shotgun scrubs love to camp you and can end you quickly. Same with Nitro rifle users.

I'm actually ok with that change since it (should) make fights more predictable. Currently you'll be lining up a melee hit when they'll suddenly jump backwards and howl, shits annoying as gently caress.

Prestiged for the first time this week. It's pretty fun playing with limited resources, and it feels great to steal a lebel/mosin off of someone that beefed it in a fight.

This happens sometimes. I think the l think the loader thread dies or something. Everything that's loaded at that point is fine, but it just.... stops. It's different every time depending on when it happens. In your case it hadn't loaded the animations for the zombies so they t-posed.

My last game this happened had 2 polygon trees and disturbing hellhounds: https://streamable.com/p054c

Even though you can see through walls it's more annoying than it just working correctly because you also often cannot see a bunch of stuff you otherwise collide into. It helps to know the map but you'll still find yourself getting stuck on invisible objects here and there.

yeah my video (which is from 1.0) was funny, but literally everyones game is broken in 1.1

Theres an open letter to Crytek on Reddit where some guy details how he's sent dozens of time consuming bug reports from the 1.1 test server and not only did they throw 1.1 on the Live server without fixing them, the bugs he found (and everyone else is experiencing) arent even listed on the "Known Problems" list.

This might be the most frustrating game I've ever played simply because I love it so much but he devs are just so incompetent.

The most frustrating thing is that things do load in! Just. .. slow as balls and by the time they've loaded in, if there's anyone around they've probably shot me 'cause I didn't see the thing I was running into to try and get away.

Sometimes it loads in all the way. Sometimes it doesn't. It just gets so frustrating. I dunno about incompetent though. They're stretched thin. I worry about the future of this game and that's what makes me so upset over this.

the boss whispers are absolutely atrocious. my partners and I literally either sit outside the range or speed kill the boss because you cant hear a fuckin thing over those stupid whispers.
also the getting random consumables from boxes thing is broke as hell. start every match with antidote and 2 small health syringes. use the antidote (there is literally 0 downsides to always having an antidote now) and fill your inventory with random consumables at the first compound you hit. every time you find a box or kill a hunter thereafter, just burn your shittest consumable and pick up some new ones.
if you have packmule dont bother bringing anything in except an antidote. I walked into a match with a packmule hunter and a completely empty inventory and walked out with a hellfire, dynamite bundle, and 2 frags.
if this patch goes through in it's current state, this game is completely screwed.

Lots of consumables sounds cool to me not bad.

Also I like your complaint of killing the boss being bad when that's like... The entire point of the game...

do you like being able to check out if a compound is safe before killing a boss? having a dedicate spotter/listener for safety? not having several shotgunners run up on you from 10ft away mid boss fight? all of these things were completely off the table with the whispers. you couldnt hear ANYTHING if you were vaguely near the boss.
not that it matters, they just patched it out on test because they realized how absolutely terrible it was.
and I wasnt saying more consumables is bad, I'm saying it completely breaks the economy of the game. everyone can have top tier offensive consumables every game whether or not they have unlocked them or can afford them. there's literally no point to thinking out consumable supplies anymore (oh, I'll take lots of firebombs to burn everyone, or maybe lots of poison and an antidote, or concertina to gate off approaches) nah. now it's just 'leave it empty, hit a box' every single match.
no point to ever buying a fire bomb when you can walk out of every other match with 3 free hellfires.

The patchnotes say they've changed it so that the whisper only happens in Dark Sight, which sounds like a smart change. And yeah, I'm definitely guilty of lurking outside of boss rooms with a shottie when I know someone's near.

From what I could tell you will never get things like BIG Dynamite bundles from the boxes so if you want really high tier or specific items you'll still but them. I dunno I guess it messes up the economy but that seems fine to me if it makes fights way more interesting.

I've gotten BDBs from it. only things it doesnt give as far as I can tell is vitality shots, large antidotes, concertina, and ammo boxes
(and concertina doesnt really matter because it DOES fill up your concertina mines, which work just as well if not better)

I'm almost certain it doesn't give trip alert gadgets, concertina included. The devs said in no uncertain terms the boxes would only provide offensive tools/consumables and not things like concertinas.
