This is fantastic. The mouse lag fix really helped me, was tedious to aim with it.

Small and pretty obvious tip for navigating along the coast:

If you are at the south coast, if the sea is to your right you are facing east. If the sea is to your left you are facing west.
If you are at the east coast, if the sea is to your right you are facing north. If the sea is to your left you are facing south.

If you have problems reading the cryllic from the roadsigns:

Just a few ones that are in a lot of names and not too hard to learn, you could also ofcourse just learn the whole alphabet, but knowing these few will take you a long way.

players tallking about FPS drop after last patch.. also i found this message from random guy: "Someone ingame mentioned they tweaked the viewing distance so it's doubled now. May be the cause of the fps drops, so I put the distance to half of what I used to have and the fps was better."

if its true and u have FPS problems try lowering your viewing distance...

Tbh about the poll after probably a dozen encounters now I consider everybody hostile. Dying because I let someone shoot me feels extremely cheap. So the only thing that makes me a good guy is that I won't seek confrontation (following gun sounds etc.)

Added Phaz' guides, the BattleEye link and a section how to install the highly recommended beta patches (game runs much better).
