If you have ever played Max Payne 3; then you know that at one point Max duct tapes a plastic water bottle to the barrel of his pistol. What if we could use this same idea in the game? Just find an empty plastic bottle and some tape. And there you go! A makeshift suppressor is at your disposal. Now just like in the other game; this commodity will NOT last forever. You can only get off a few shots--say like 5 shots max; before the bottle is totals useless. And it can only be attached to smaller caliber handguns. What say you to this?

But those are still hard to find and can be used for as long as you live... These are just quick and expendable commodities. Finding duct tape could be a little challenging. But bottles could be plentiful. .

Yeah, But I do not see such ammo types in the game.

Now let me spell this out for some of you people... I DID NOT INTENTIONALLY quit the game so I did not die... GET THAT THROUGH YOUR SHALLOW MINDS. I played at work and I had to leave to help a customer. Yes that is true, no reason to lie--but I still expect childish remarks. Plus I had 200 life left while I was being attacked. Since you remain in the game for 5 seconds. I still should have died. Day before yesterday I installed the new update for DayZ. At first it worked like a charm. I was playing with another player until we were attacked by Zombies. I left the server when I got cornered. And then re joined a couple of hours later. But, I see that I am still in my PREVIOUS body. The one that was attacked. I have broken bones, full stats are green. And I am hearing voices from Arma 2, and seeing objective icons. When I kill myself and try to respawn, the same thing happens over and over and over. I even deleted the code, and re installed it. Still the same things. I can get into a game. But it crosses Arma 2 with the mod. Today I installed the 1.7.5 update, and the problem still persists. I also have reports of it happening to others.

Just received a message from the DayZ team after I have sent an inquiry... They say "This is a rather unique issue and we are investigating."

Before my mod went to utter hell from the new update... I had this idea that when ever there is lightning and thunder in the game. Why not let us use the loud boom of the thunder to mask our gunshots? It would have to be timed, and it would depend upon range. But ultimately something that loud should help remain stealthy.

Update 1.7.1.1 says that you have a 5 second delay when you disconnect (that keeps you in game). And after that; I have seen nothing to indicate that it has been removed.

I still should have died regardless if I only had like 200 HP left.... You remain in the game for 5 more seconds. But still, I keep hitting respawn and I do NOT get the You Are Dead pop up. Instead I go to the debug forest or plains and hear sombody say "8". When I can get into the actual world, there are no zombies, and players cannot see me.

I like how some people are helping; but giving a very condescending tone as if they know what they are talking about.... I did not leave the server in order to avoid death. I left to deal with a customer that is that. I am no cheater and the sooner some of you people open your eyes, and loose the Inquisition--the sooner this will all be put to rest... Now I have heard a post that the new 1.7.6 update should fix this--if that is indeed the problem that they have found.

Well, I have just tried re installing the game from steam... The Problem is till happening. I keep spawning in the debug plains when I try and kill myself.

Yes I have tried... And the above poster ^ that is why I placed that edit at the beginning of the OP. People who assume too much and do not help anything.

Here is hoping it works... Although it is funny that once I installed that update, this happens.

Sorry. This is all just very frustrating.

Any more advice?

Well, I have tried every possible way that I can think of.. The game is broken.

Lol, I will gladly bend thy knee! Just tried it out. It said a file was missing and it was recovered. Then I logged in and nothing was fixed. When I hit respawn, I go to the debug field and no YOU DIED screen appears.

Thank you! Atleast one person is decent enough to help.

*facepalm* stupidity is coming...

I just tried the new character. Did not work at all.... Also to the people saying that I just quit because I was dying: Nice job on your assumption! I was playing at work so I had no choice but to leave. Also sine your body stays in the server for 5 more seconds. I should have died by then. I was below 200.

Oh! Well then I shall try that.... Be right back.

I have the most recent everything... I tried killing myself in the menu, but I get transported to this open field with motionless NPC's. But just in case; where do I download the most recent BETA thing?

I am having a problem here. After I set up the new update yesterday, I got the play around for a bit, but later on I was attacked and cornered; then I died. I tried re spawning but, I was somehow placed back in my old character. Broken bones and all. But I also noticed that I am seeing objective symbols. And when I kill myself and try to respawn again, I go to a barren field with a military uniform. Does anybody know what is going on?!

I already join servers that match.

That is what I used initially. But I tried it again using woroms tool. I just tried using six updater. It is still doing the same thing. It just spawns me in a barren field with Arma 2 objective blips and voice work..

With the new update, the Zombies are actually something that you must fear now. They are MUCH more dangerous and their behavior is near spot on. However, it has become far too common to have your bones broken. I could be hit ONCE by a lone Zombie and have my legs broken. Forcing me to crawl every single place that I go.. It does not help that you start off with no morphine, and the supply of it is beyond rare. I am not sure if this is a bug, but if this is not fixed or tweaked. Then I see more crawling than surviving. And also the birth of a new meme.
