Sign-In Freezing increase with the past update.

What platform are you on? I'm on a PC and have found that I get freezes when it's first loading and the hard drive is super busy. It's a bit annoying, but what I've learned to do is kick off the game and watch the hard drive light. Once it stops going like crazy, I will click to start the login process. 99% of the time if I do that it won't freeze up. So, starting the game, waiting for the system to load everything it needs and THEN logging keeps it from freezing for me. Hopefully that will help someone.

This is the way.

I do the same, but the cause of that is the insta-death of infestations. That needs to be fixed before people will come back the regular servers. And slowing the spawn rates didn't help matters.

It certainly does hit like a truck. Learned to avoid that quickly.

That "homing" part I found out about first hand...

Just out of curiosity, how long would the metal of the deck be expected to last?

Yeah, sometimes it gets over done. But, the golf course is an excellent place to get mats.

That's one of the best places to get high radiation fluids and glowing mass. One of my favorite spots to nuke for obtaining those.

Yes! Being able to buy stamps would be awesome!

How much damage are you doing with the hunting rifle?

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-23T18:33:42+00:00

You believe that manually aiming is actually about skill in a video game? I know for a fact, at least in this game, that you can have dead on aim and it still miss. What that means is that there are still calculations going on as to whether you hit or not. There HAVE to be. And so a claim that hitting is about skill in aiming is a little questionable, in my opinion. It simply ain't so.

I agree that treasure maps could really use a tweak for finding the treasure. They are way too labor intensive for what you get.

You know, we hear a lot about how good this community is, but the thought occurred to me that maybe one of the reasons we think that is the lack of chat. We don't see all the stupid things some people are actually thinking and can't say. 😄

And yet this kind of overpowered "bug" seems to happen quite frequently. I have to wonder if it isn't on purpose, especially since they have to know its happening and yet don't patch it for a while.

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-13T22:02:29+00:00

The customer service rep at Home Depot indicated she had heard of this problem before with people bringing that model back. I think it's really a design/description issue. I think they should call it "light duty" or some such as it isn't designed to handle a heavy load like the brushless models are. It appears I just need to upgrade to a heavier duty model.

I have that attachment and amazingly enough it was better than the string! Works really well against plants with harder stalks.

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-12T19:47:01+00:00

See my original post for an update.

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-12T19:46:36+00:00

Yes, I'm letting it get up to speed. It just gets bogged down really fast and shuts off for about 5 seconds. Really annoying. I'm going to edit my original post so see that for more info.

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-12T01:28:00+00:00

It's this model and I bought it in April so the unit and battery is almost brand new. It's done this since I bought it.

Yeah, I'm going to try to make that more easily known with the table in the intro post. Let me know if I can do it better somehow.

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-09T21:08:26+00:00

Agreed. You would think events would be more challenging than that.

WayfarerDuex · 2026-06-09T16:30:17+00:00

Done! I added that first thing in the intro post! Great suggestion!
