Me and a friend played explore mode for a couple hours last night and found a few brand new Ylands to explore and mine! However we did run into a few issues: 1) Inventory lock - While on the ship, very early in our playtime, my quick inventory disappeared from my screen. I was able to TAB into my main inventory and select an item, but could not use / interact with it at all. For example, I could select my map and my character would be shown holding it, but I could not utilize it. Same with food items. Only remedy was to exit the game and come back in. This has happened in the past but I may have forgotten to report it 2) "Purgatory Glitch" - What ended our playtime last night was when my friend fell a few feet to his death descending a small rock face ( walking mechanics on mountains / rocks is rough ), and was unable to properly re-spawn. When he would try it would place him in the exact spot he died but he could do nothing except run in place in one direction. I even tried killing him and mining the ground out from under him to allow water to flow in. At this point he could only swim in place and slowly froze to death just to have it all begin again. Issues with fall deaths glitching have been happening to us for a couple weeks now. Suggestions 1) Walking on mountains - I have no idea what it takes to change things in a game, however, I find that walking on any mountain-ish surface to be terrifying because one small mistep will have your character seemingly leap to their death. Perhaps slowing down the movement speed when ascending / descending would make it far less dangerous to navigate these Ylands with rocky terrain. I would say 80% of my deaths have come from simply walking down a rock face and having my guy speed walk off the side and die from a 2-3m fall. Like I said, we only played for a couple hours, because after fooling with the "Purgatory Glitch" my friend could not connect to my game, but I think this was a connection issue on my end. So this is all I have at the moment. If I think of something else I will edit this post and add it to the list. Thanks for the awesome game!

Yeah I ran into the distortion issues trying to make a mote around a structure built on a peninsula. It looked very strange.

Like a pinkish flint imo. One of the most important resources as it is how you build the furnaces etc.

First off I want to say that me and my friends are absolutely LOVING Ylands. We probably played more than 12 hours this weekend alone and are blown away with how complete the game is in Alpha. We did run into some bugs, and I hope reporting them helps. ---Dead but not dead bug - Several times I would fall to my death (not far falls either), or get mauled by a mutated alpha and my character would be 'dead' but would still just be standing there minus his added clothing and could run in place but not respawn. Only fix was to exit and come back, at which point I could respawn, and it would put me in the same place with like 1/3 of my items still in slots. ---Invisible boats - A few times yesterday our ship, and my raft would disappear, but could still be used. On the raft it would get to the point where it was just a paddle moving around and the water would even go away showing me floating above the seabed (kinda cool tbh lol) ---Joining issues - Game ran fine until yesterday (late afternoon / early evening ) when neither of my friends could join my game. They would get stuck at 100% load EDIT: --- Locked to raft. Several times yesterday I was unable to release control of the raft and had to exit / rejoin. Thats all I can think of bug-wise for now. I love this game so much so I hope this helps. I also have some suggestions, and I know this isnt the right place but I need to get back to work.. -Show what main benefits an item grants you before crafting it. This would be nice, as the crafting up is difficult already. For instance I crafted 'expert tools' hoping it would unlock some neat stuff but it didnt, and I was out several tools from making it. Things like screwdrivers, or energy benches seem helpful but I don't know how helpful until crafted. - Map that shows your current location and have a cardinal direction stamp on it like a real map. Also, a compass would be awesome to craft. - FOG. I hate it. However, with better navigational features it could be doable. -Draw distance. I know this is just an alpha thing, but not seeing an island until youre 500m away can make navigating difficult - Have a craft section just for craft stations so the search for them is lessened. Also, maybe show what you need to craft them before having it all in the inventory. That is all I can think of. Like I said, I LOVE this game, and I am blown away with how fun it is even in Alpha. Ive played many betas that were a hot mess compared to this. Keep up the great work and please make Arma4 run on AMD
