No skill server hopper / dc'r spawns in to the barracks and gets kills. Probably before his client is visible to other players. This is why we need a despawn timer.

OP wasn't speaking in direct but global. Other guy couldn't hear him. Probably thought he was shooting at him with all the bad aim.

terrain is you friend.

rock paper shotgun have an excellent drop in/out gaming community.

I found a bugged heli, constantly leaks fuel. Me and my mates used the rocket launcher and our only rocket in an attempt to destroy it and get a respawn. It survived too. Think we have fraps as well.

Repaired a Huey. Still leaks fuel. Everything is green. Don't understand whats wrong

Vehicles (gave up on tents a while ago) don't seem to be saving consistently between server restarts. We lost a red car (can't remember name) and kept a white pick up after server restart, only to have the red car re-appear after a further server restart (if that makes sense). It was forced saved before first restart, but reappeared after second restart with no forced save. Is this related to the current player load out problems?

Same problem at the moment on NY2. Lots of people dying, getting the you are dead screen, logging back in to respawn with full gear. I personally tested this and found i respawned with all my gear after dying. One guy keeps bleeding out on the airfield and respawning bleeding out in the same place. Exploit potential here (item duplication) along with general annoyance of not being able to respawn! Also the server is failing to save progress properly. Position is being saved fine, but not load out.

Multiple people are experiencing multi-deaths on NY 2. They get killed, relog and find themselves in the exact same place with their old gear. Could be a related issue. The connection with the hive server seems to be a bit err temperamental on the NY servers atm. Just logged on and off a server to test this out. Some of my progress was saved, but not all. Position in game was, but not load out. Load out was from a previous point, but no the point at which i joined the server. Died to test this out. Got YOU ARE DEAD screen. went back to lobby and re-entered. Came back in same place bleeding out with long wait timer and all my gear. Definately an issue with character server / client / server communication.

Just posting to test the time stamp i get. But at 11:00 GMT NY1+2 were up and empty on 'Creating' status. If you see that it means the server is ready but waiting for players. If you join and hit continue it will start briefing and then playing the mod. I was on NY2 at 11:00 UK time (4 hours ago) I know the NY server admins are actually UK based. So if it goes down in the middle of the night UK time, it probably wont get booted up until the morning. Better to hop on IRC/TS3 and get a Dayz staffer to do it if its evening USA time. NY 2 is up but I can't see NY 1 NY 1 failed to load properly. Sorted Now.

Its due to Server Performance. Basically if the server isn't restarted every 6 or so hours the performance starts to drop and less stuff is spawned in to compensate.

Yes currently EU 7 and NY 2 run 3rd person without the crosshair (No names pop up). Its up to the server provider really. I struggle to believe no US based servers are running FPV only, but if more are wanted I think Jonnerz said in another thread he was putting up a new US based box with 2-4 server capacity. Maybe ask him nicely for a FPV Veteran server.
