Woofington 4 Posted May 11, 2012 I was just spawned a new character after dying and I have been knocked out. There were no zombies that I know of, it literally happened as soon as I loaded in. I can't hit escape and I can't respawn. I just want to start a new character again, not wait 20 minutes (it is a really really long knock out) for something I had no control over :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worbat 13 Posted May 12, 2012 You have the disconnect penalty, which knocks you out for 3 minuites, this bugs sometimes and they only way it will be fixed is by waiting for the timer to go and hitting that respawn key, or having the server roll back if this happend in a state of Desync.Similar thread here.http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1767 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiezer 0 Posted May 12, 2012 I cant do anything. the timer wont go down. i have waited for over twenty minuets and still nothing. I cant click respawn as I cant get the menu pen in this state my friends bandaged me and gave me blood so I am not going to die that way. I guess the only way to save me is with an epi-pen...

worbat 13 Posted May 12, 2012 Reinstall Dayz and pray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottingcore 1 Posted May 14, 2012 I too have this issue. Do NOT reinstall dayz/arma. Character data is saved based on your cd-key. This glitch has no solution, and the dev has yet to correct any of our states to my knowledge. All we can do is wait for a character info crash, or for rocket to actually check the support forums and fix this bug ASAP. Tons of people are complaining about this on the servers, but not all of them are coming here. Hopefully Rocket knows how big of an issue this is. I have been in this state for 6 hours.

benneh1 1 Posted May 14, 2012 The only thing I can suggest you do in addition to the suggestions above, is to hop on IRC to try and catch one of the Devs, or send an email to them so that they can wipe your character so you can spawn in again. This has happened before and that's the way I've known for it to be resolved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ape808 0 Posted May 14, 2012 I'm also experiencing this. I died on my previous login, now I'm stuck in that location and the hourglass is not ticking down. Unable to access the respawn menu.I'll try sending devs a message using the contact form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottingcore 1 Posted May 14, 2012 I did the contact form and they got back to me pretty quickly, but after that i have yet to hear anything back and the issue is still persisting. Hopefully it's something they can fix. I'm just being patient now.For those of you having this issue that plan on sending them an email via the contact form, be sure to send your profile names. That's what they asked me for.I'm also experiencing this. I died on my previous login' date=' now I'm stuck in that location and the hourglass is not ticking down.

Launch Arma 2Click "profiles"Select your profile and click "EDIT"See where it lists an ID number? Send them that number. For example;10333773. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
