We need an emergency suicide button. My respawn button is disabled so I just cant play anymore. I will try logging in and out of servers as suggested but I just want to die, or get a teleport. I posted a bug report: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/73512 Edit: Managed to server hop until a zombie was close enough to aggro. Maybe there should be a please kill me thread stickied though.

Don't forget that in some cases, for example going unconscious while bleeding from loss of blood, and from dehydration etc. You would never wake up. I see the unconscious feature as a multiplayer feature - if you have friends around then it is not the same as death, but if you don't then it is and respawn is the solution. To me this is realistic and immersive and I support any feature that promotes cooperation. Having said that a little bit more UI feedback would be good. Oh and ed_rush: you can rip your shirt into rags and use them.

Anyone else noticed how if you click respawn while unconscious, and then it says "are you sure?" and you click 'no', you respawn?

There are a lot of merging and people going "Please search before you post" and similar. I would just like to point out that I searched for the word 'unconscious' and I got 0 results. The reason for that is that THE TITLE OF THIS TOPIC IS SPELLED WRONG AND DOESN'T SHOW UP ON A SEARCH. This is the official topic on this subject... Yes it is stickied, so I found it pretty quickly but if anyone really wants people to search for topics on the forum A MOD OR THE ORIGINAL POSTER HAS TO FIX THE NAME. Also I noticed that the topic has a tag with the correct spelling. Why do tags not appear in the search when you directly type them in?

So to clarify, a solution that doesn't involve clicking cancel every time: On the Six updater settings menu (grey cog tab top left) you have the following options that can fix this issue: 'Max concurrent server info connections' This one is the main one, some older/cheaper modems only handle a limited number of connections, mine for example can handle 64. This means that if six updater is set to it's default value (60) no other application can establish a connection through the modem. Setting this to 10 or 20 should solve the issue, but it will mean your server list updates really really slowly. 'Server list auto refresh' This one refreshes all the servers, if you set this to 60 you should get internet outages for a few minutes every hour, instead of every ten minutes as is the default. If neither of these works for you then you do not have the same problem as me.

Didn't think so. Is this information at least enough to investigate? Secondly, is it true what people say about official hive being full of hackers and private being the only way to avoid them?

Thanks for asking the neccesary questions, but it was none of those things. I wandered for a while trying different spots and was eventually able to cook my meat. Having the fire on as level ground as possible was probably a factor. Also the cook option never showed when the context menu was open, instead I had to mouse over the fire until it simply appeared on my cursor. When this happened I could open the context menu and it was there too. The problem was earlier I was circling the fire with the context menu open so I never got it at all. Anyway it doesn't matter now as I managed to cook my meat, ate it all and then dropped dead 30 seconds later for no reason. Got to love those hackers. I hadn't died in many months...

I was just walking through the forest north west of Bor and I dropped dead. At least one other person in the server in the server also dropped dead in the same circumstances at the same moment (see screenshot). I do not have a hackers name so I don't know if I can provide enough information to catch him/her. Server: DE 3359 Time: 17:05 gmt Date: 27/01/13 I was well armed and equipped and had just pulled myself out of being almost dead by finding a hatchet so I could cook some meat. My character has been alive for over six months (real time obviously not in game) and I am rather annoyed. Screenshot:

I am playing on the official hive now. I didn't choose the private hive I am playing with a group that plays there. Yes it sucks, next time they all die at the same time I will suggest a change but I think they know the admins or something. Anyway the problem I am currently having is on official.

On a private hive server earlier today the fuel can was also glitching. It would fail to pick up the can and then after 10 attempts it would try and pick up 10 cans at once. In one case it managed to pick up all 10 into 6 inventory slots, meaning when i unloaded them into the car I was able to put 10 cans in the boot out of only two showing in my inventory. I didn't think this was a related issue however as the server appeared to be running outdated code and there were other glitches as well, I assumed caused by server lag. This was repeatable however and didn't happen to anyone else that i know of.

I know the fireplace can be a bit unreliable in this respect, but I have been dancing around this fire with meat in my inventory for ages and I can't get it to show up. Occasionally it will pop up on the menu for a millisecond while I am moving but never long enough to select. Does anyone have any tips on how to work around this ie. fire placement, specific angle/distance to stand. I am almost dead and I have raw meat and a fire... so frustrating.

I already posted a list of suggestions for making this game harder with exactly this in mind. You can search my posts for the full description but the main things were to make it harder inland where the good weapons spawn, and leave it relatively easy on the coast where the players spawn. This means casual players can still handle. Also lowering the level of loot that spawns in deer stands would be good. The airfield and old cathedral should be swarming with so many z's that you need a team of well armed guys and a vehicle to even hope to loot there. Currently I can spawn on the beach with nothing and be back in cherno/elektro with an assault rifle inside two hours for some pvp action. Also there is really nothing else to do when you have good gear. I am a survivalist/rp player in most games like this and love to cooperate, but in days sitting in the forest with a backpack full of cow meat staring at a tree while holding a dmr and a hand grenade is not survivalism, it is a desktop background. I might as well play something else as survival is no challenge at all.

Date/Time:1 hour before post date/time (around midnight UTC, monday 28th may) What happened: Bugged clothing item stuck in backpack, moving it causes crash Where you were: In the supermarket in zelenogorsk What you were doing: Scavenging with a friend *Current installed version: 1.6.0.1 *Server(s) you were on: dallas 23 *Timeline of events before/after error: We looted the supermarket about an hour earlier, and went off to scavenge elsewhere. We then realised that we should have taken all the makarov ammo we had left behind so we went back. I found a camo clothing that was not there the first time we were there. I already had one so I told my friend to grab it. He couldn't see it on the ground at all. So I picked it up for him and put it in his pack. Now he has it in his pack but if he tries to move it out of his pack he crashes. This situation persisted over restarting the client and logging back in. I was unable to see it in his bag after he logged back in. Unable to test repeatability or hypothesise likely causes/solutions. It is likely that the issue was a bug in the code that happened server side, and resulted in some kind of save corruption. I guess my speculation isn't helping here. The affected player is named 'Rappy' and is likely the only player using that name. I do not know his player ID but I could probably get it tomorrow if it is needed.

I originally thought that coloured dots on the player skin was the best way' date=' but given that what is being discussed here is not the standard name tag system built in to arma, there doesn't seem to be any reason it can't just be made to only work when you have direct line of sight, and a distance limit goes without saying. The devs will have to work out wether modifiying a player texture locally or displaying floating text is more technically difficult to implement but I have no fear that rocket will put any form of this feature in the game that would disturb stealth. For me it is absolute priority number one. I don't know how much you have tried extended interaction with strangers in this game but this would change it from stupid and pointless to merely difficult and stressful. Also it may be worth considering whether we want identification information to be deleted when you die. I am in two minds about this but I believe it would be more in line with the general philosophy of the game if it did.

I was not aware of that. Still I assume they are planned to be, for the leaderboard, so the suggestion will be relevant. I also wanted to see if the guy I shot was a bandit or not, I would have apologised if he wasn't. I guess sitting on a rooftop in chernogorsk with a scoped weapon is a pretty clear indication of banditry, but I was doing the same thing so you can't be sure.
