EfficientZ

Oh yea, Ive had that happen a lot too. My bullet didnt pass through it... The goat dissapeared before I actually fired... I was just being dramatic. Lol.

I used Murphys against itself. I figured this was the only fix. I turned on Bandicam to record proof. Instantly fixed it. Go me for quick thinking?

And Ive tried cows. You got my hopes up that it was a server problem. Logged out, logged into another server, wewt! Chicken right in front of me... Start running towards it, BAM dissapeared.

Well since I have about 5 minutes left of life on me, I dont have much hope. And I shot one from max view distance. The body stayed up until I got close to it. It did NOT disolve, it dissapeared.

So me and my roommate have come to terms with the fact that DayZ is secretly programmed to troll you as hard as humanly possible. I have accepted this. That just "by chance" insanely unlikely horrible things happen to you at the worst times, every time they can. Murphys Law secretely programmed in, so you cant prove it, but its there. Im on to you. Fine, whatever, it makes it more fun, in a horrible sick twisted masochistic way. But this is straight up bullshit. I got myself lost out in the forest, yea, my bad. But I came (semi) prepared. Canteen, and all the supplies I need for hunting. So Im starving to death, and realize I need to find a animal. So Ive spent the two hours, running through fields and forest, still completely lost, looking for animals. I found a sheep! I run up to it. Point my gun to its head, and BAM! My bullet hits the dirt, and the sheep just... Dissapeared before my bullet could hit it.... Okaaaaay.... I found a Pig! Well... Not going to give it a chance to dissapear on me! Shoot it instantly! Run up to it. Its body dissapears... Fine. Rabbit! Cow! Chicken! As soon as I approach every single animal. It straight up, DISSAPEARS. So Im down to 2k (from max) health now, because I didnt expect Id be running around for 3 hours chasing INVISABLE ANIMALS! WHY?! What did I do NOW to deserve this?

Been playing all day. No corrupt files. Same thing just started happening to me.

No, they're all here. Its just that about half the bandits like to believe they're friendly, and sit up on their high horse and tell everyone they're bad for shooting other people. Most people shoot on sight. Just half of them like to claim that they're friendly, so they can have an excuse when they didnt pull trigger first.
