    • Then you will need to go through your mods one by one or in batches to find which is causing the issue
    • Can you remove the "?", there is a bug at the moment where special characters cause the game to crash when joining Hosted sessions.
    • The current aiming system seems normal to me since I have not played before B42. I just wish my perfectly placed headshots landed. 
    • So late game firearms in PZ kinda suck....   As there is no sustainable way to keep them loaded without having loot on respawn. This wouldn't be an issue except its the primary means for hunting and keeping groups of zombies at bay in a pinch.    As someone who lives in the southern USA, which KY is considered the "gateway" state to the south and most would consider it the south. Hunting is a HUGE part of southern culture and just prior to open season for deers there is whats called "primitive weapons season" sometimes called "muzzleloader season" as these 2 to 3 months are ment specially for muzzleloading black powder firearms.    CVA introduced the Apollo "in-line" muzzleloader introduced in 1993. Its a .50cal or .54cal with .50 being the most popular. "In-line" means instead of having the traditional side hammer, you have a bolt-action style bolt that you pull back on just prior to shooting (the hammer), and when the trigger is pulled it shoots forward striking a primer.   Why this all matters for PZ; well you could use fertilizer & charcol to make black powder. A mold could be made with pottery for bullets, and cast in a furnace. And flint could be broken up to make the caps for the spark.   Heck if you are feeling foggy you could introduce traditional muzzleloaders which have the side mounted hammer & wood stock. The *modern* muzzleloader which is "in-line" with a palstic/polymer stock. And possibly even improvised which uses pipe, wood, ducktape, & other supplies.    There is also the possibility of pistols, and shotguns - which where called fowling guns historically.    The PZ team has expressed that they want bows & crossbows as much as everyone else however they need to figure out how to not make them some god tire early game silent killer. In my humble opinion i think muzzleloaders would fill that niche.    A slow reload capped to no faster than 5 seconds with buffs & possibly starting out at 10 seconds wothout buffs - but with the high damage of the 7.62x51mm makes it high risk high reward for PVP, it allows reliable & self sustainable late game hunting all without being god-tier. The sound profile would most likely be that of the 12g shotgun.   As far as modifications & accessories, the recoil pad should be able to be fitted and on the "modern" version only, any optic. Thats it, no lasers, lights, or anything else. One or two should be found at gun and/or fishing stores. The way USA laws are, black powder does not actually qualify under firearms laws, so no specilized license or shipping restrictions.    It would require or at least use the following skills:   - pottery - blacksmithing - accuracy  - reloading - maintaince - knapping - farming (fertilizer)   Additionally due to the way Blackpowder is it could get dirtier faster, meaning cleaning more often or risk misfire! And even have a smoke cloud obscuring view for a few seconds.        There are some gear that could be added as well. A powder horn/flask for example.            Not related but i can't help myself, a railway hand car, the PZ team & community have been asking for a late game mode of transportation that doesn't utilize fuel. There is a massive railway network that is already used as a survivors highway. Players could "power" them and get up to say 12mph but rist getting winded or tired out after a distance of travel. Finally a portable camping stove that uses the same fuel as ghe welding torch, more for early game nomads, as it could be lighter than 3 stones + fuel.
