I'm fairly certain loot only spawns in a location once a player has come within a certain range. If they spawn within that range, then the loot won't spawn until they move through that threshold. However, if another player has crossed through that threshold during that session (or within a certain time) there will be loot there. Usually this will only be leftover loot that the previous player hadn't taken though. This is just a theory of course, but I'm fairly certain this is how it works.

Happened to me as well. Not sure what ported me to the debug plains, but I believe rocket made it so that you automatically get ported to a spawn point if you log in on the debug plains now. This would explain the coming in at a spawn point, rather than being back in the debug plains, but I can't explain what got me there or why I had no weapons. I did get everything back afterwords though, and it said "Day 17" in the bottom right the next time I logged in, same kill count and gear. Good part is I got to fill up on blood bags before heading back up north to my camp though, lol

Still no issues here with dual AMD Radeon HD 6700 series. Could be that I'm using a crossfire setup. Anyone with a crossfire setup getting these glitches?

I agree that there should be more danger from zombies, but I think this should happen after they fix the glitches with the zombies as they are now. Zombies being aggroed from half a mile away while in crouch-walk or run is unrealistic. Zombies aggroing while proning in the grass from 30 feet away in a building has cost me tons of blood during my time playing Dayz. Honestly the fear of other players over zombies is one of the most realistic things about Dayz. Just think about it, in real life you'd be wary of other people. No law enforcement to prevent killing would result in conflicts over resources like food, water, and firearms; large numbers of bandits seeking easy rewards from unsuspecting travellers would be prevalent. Of course the unrealistic aspect comes when everyone becomes a bandit. Because in real life that kind of lifestyle wouldn't last long, people would band together and create a community and police it themselves. I like to think the zombie apocalypse would end up like a western after a while, zombies added of course.

And that would be their own fault if they were to get shot at there. Choosing to log out in an area heavily trafficked by players rather than a forest or an out of the way area is their own choice. If they were to get killed due to anti-cheating measures, then it would be nobody's fault but their own for choosing an area that they'd be shot at while logging.

Nobody said they would be punished, someone would only be punished if they logged out while being shot at. The odds of someone being shot at while logging out legitimately are so slim that it wouldn't matter. When I have to log out, I make sure I do it in an area that is safe and out of the way of other players. It isn't a difficult thing to do, and I sure as hell haven't had anyone shooting at me while I was attempting to log out

I fail to see a difference aside from speed. Escape-abort takes maybe 1 second longer than alt-f4 Either way, you're exploiting the game to prevent a death that you deserved.

Cropped it a bit so you could see exactly what I was talking about Your earlier oppinion stated that players who aren't attempting to kill or fight back at that given moment in time should be allowed to exploit the alt+f4 bug to prevent their death.

Why would you think that people who logout under normal circumstances would be getting punished? What kind of topsey turvey world are you living in where you came to that conclusion upon reading this thread? So are you trying to make it seem like this is what you meant all along, or are you trying to retract your earlier oppinion?

Your argument makes no sense. The odds that something important happens right as you're being fired upon is so slim that I couldn't care less about a death resulting from it. If a plane crashed outside, the least of my worries would be my characters death in a game where the average lifespan is 49 minutes. There is no excuse to logging out while being fired at, if something happens that is important enough to pull you away from the game, then why would it matter that you died because of it?

Might want to browse the forums before creating posts on presumptions. People have been complaining all day about artifacting when near military bases. Most think its because of the non-player wire fencing, the non-player tank traps, and the non-zombie corpses. One thing that would have helped prevent the posting of a useless thread would have been trying a different server. You likely would have seen the same thing, which would come to the logical conclusion that it isn't a problem with a particular server.

PvP is a part of the game. If you are playing the game, you had better expect a player to wander out of the bushes behind you with the intent to kill you. If you want to play a game where you go around and sneak past zombies for loot, you are playing the wrong game. Death is a part of the game, if you can't deal with the idea of losing everything you've gotten then you should go back to playing COD

I'm fairly certain that asking someone to stop cursing in global chat isn't being disrespectful. A police officer punches you in the face, you ask him to stop; he then tells you to stop telling him to stop and arrests you for assault when you ask him one more time to stop punching you in the face. Seems legit

You guys aren't removing textures then you're changing/removing models, which isn't the easiest thing in the world to detect. Even checking for files won't detect a model edit, unless you're checking to see if every single file is both there and the file it is supposed to be. This would add a significant amount of time to login

My sentiments exactly

Actually this game isn't meant to focus on survival and zombies, Rocket's intention in creating this mod was: From: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/108-coop-server/page__st__20#entry6115 Also, what game would ever consider abusing the logout system to prevent death from your own tactical stupidity a viable option for survival? I'm sure hacking to make sure every other player on the map is another viable option for survival for you?

Removing textures wouldn't allow anyone to drive through trees, it would only make it look as if there were no trees there on their side. They would end up running into or shooting into invisible objects

Most likely caused by lag or desync Usually works for me if I get my feet wet

No issues here with dual AMD Radeon HD 6700 series

I believe he was saying he was mentioning it so that the admin can know about it. Might want to see if that server has a website or a different way to contact the admins, the forums aren't the most reliable option

You can only see people through objects on recruit level servers. Regular and even some veteran servers have nametags on. Then theres alway the possibility that they saw you before or while you were going prone. Happens all the time, lag between client>server>client can keep your character standing while you're in prone for a second or two after you had hit the key, sometimes more depending on the server lag

Do you not have names or a time to give? Server logs are annoying enough to go through when you know what you're looking for; but when you have no idea what time this took place or which players were involved I doubt anyone would take time out of their day to take care of it. Why were you still in the same location 30 minutes after that incident? Usually these people will switch servers and go around behind you within a couple of minutes, which is why most people would leave the area. Instead it sounds like you were looking to fight him again from the same location, which is a tactical error on your part. That guy may have been cheating, but your death was as much your own fault as his.

I am guessing nametags were on though, correct? I've found players just by scanning my mouse across the horizon and waiting for nametags to pop up. People seem to be too quick about yelling out "cheater/hacker" these days with nothing but assumptions to back them up

Its actually quite easy to find people in the grass, the backpack sticks out like a sore thumb. Also most servers have nametags on, so all you have to do is hover near a person to have their name pop up. But if you're paranoid like I am you investigate any rock that looks out of the ordinary

Don't remove the post, just remove the parts that aren't needed. The first 4 sentences are admin abuse of some sort, kicking a player without a real reason
