Furbz (DayZ) 9 Posted July 7, 2012 So much warping and teleporting in the game now, zombies and players alike... generally ends in death, but yeah, lots of warping, not pc or ping lag, dunno if just server issue. Things like seeing zombie attack another player or self, attacks close, stands still, warps to player when they move away, rinse repeat etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
castun66 20 Posted July 7, 2012 When my buddy had it happen to him that couple of times, he was visiting family and on a crappy DSL connection. His debug monitor kept disappearing and coming back, and he also would suffer from the delayed eating effects. When together with me and a buddy, he would ask us why we were standing still when in reality we were on the move a hundred meters away. It's definitely related to being out of sync with the server, likely caused by a bad connection or somesuch.I would say if your debug monitor disappears or you notice the delay with eating and drinking, best bet is probably to just quit and come back in. It usually helps hold off the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[iogc] b.a. 22 Posted July 7, 2012 Yeah, when this happened to me the debug monitor also dissapeared and my water icon was sometimes flashing red and sometimes solid red (it should have been flashing as I was almost parched!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcyZ 295 Posted July 8, 2012 i had the same problem when i was in Elektro,my friend just got killed by a sniper and i was trying to escape cause i had a hatchet :P i managed to sneak around the sniper and run away ,i got out of the town,safe,and then BOOM,back in the position my friend got killed.Well that worked for me cause i had found a makarov and the sniper was looting my friend and i killed him,he was not expecting me to teleport right in his face :PAlso,it hapened when i was in the forest next to the NW airfield,i just got teleported like 500m back,over and over and over again.Reconnecting in the server solves the problem for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mentalrage 0 Posted July 8, 2012 I think it has to do mainly with the users own computer. I've been playing with my friend for the last few weeks and this happens to him maybe 3-4 times an hour while Ive never had this happen to me at all. We will be running through a field and he will suddenly vanish back to the market we looted a few minutes back. We always use current beta/mod version as well.

[iogc] b.a. 22 Posted July 8, 2012 I doubt it's the actual computer, it might be related to the network connection and the update that doesn't save corrupted locations. I've played quite a bit and it's only happened once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klayski 0 Posted July 9, 2012 I'm also getting this problem. Happened on multiple servers for me. All that progress walking and then BAM, gone.Hope a fix comes soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Manager 1 Posted July 9, 2012 So I've updated my bug report to mention that this definitely occurs after the Debug Monitor disappears and delayed item use.I gonna take a massive stab in the dark and say this issue isn't between the client and the server but rather the server and the hive. Possibly some issue where the hive isn't/can't update your account. That's my guess.Would love for the staff just to mention what they think it might be.

primalgoose 0 Posted July 9, 2012 This just started happening to me today. I was in the shopping centre in Zelenogorsk, ran south east for about 5 minutes and was teleported back to the shops.Ran out the same direction again, came across a guy in a tractor.. who then attempted to run me over. I managed to shoot and kill him - he falls out of the tractor and as I go to loot him, it teleports me back again. Watching the footage I recorded on FRAPS I noticed my debug monitor had disappeared.

[iogc] b.a. 22 Posted July 9, 2012 Happened to me again last night but I don't think my debug monitor disappeared, but I wasn't really thinking about it so it might have! I just realised that this has only started happening to me since I stopped playing on NY servers and started playing on UK servers, could be coincidence or could be related to distance/latency between server and hive? Although when it's happened to me it's not happened to others I'm playing with.Would be interesting to see the time since last save on the debug monitor again to see if it's linked.

spinager 152 Posted July 9, 2012 If a fix has not been posted or a temp fix here is how i fixed mine. I am pretty sure when this happens the debug menu is gone. If it suddenly disappears then sooner or later this teleporting bug will occur. Re install DayZ. Not through that automatic install process called Sixlauncher or whatever. Do it MANUALLY!! Every file, not just the 'NEW' ones. I keep telling a friend of mine to that, ut he keeps saying "Sixlauncher says it okay" blah blah. This happened to me. I reinstalled the DayZ files, and it stopped doing it. Hasn't done it for a month since I reinstalled it. To top it off, install the beta patches. MANUALLY. Don't let six launcher do it. Learn to install them manually guys. It's better to know that YOU messed up rather than a program messing up and it says its A OK, and you going along with it. This was my fix. For all i know some my have done this already but it still occurs. Only read the first page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Manager 1 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) This was my fix. For all i know some my have done this already but it still occurs. Only read the first page.I think you might have just been lucky for a month. I've tried completely removing DayZ and updating manually many times and also using six updater and neither fix the issue. One other person here even tried removing Arma2 completely and then reinstalling and issue persisted none the less.EDIT:Just updated the first post to include troublshooting so people don't have to read the whole thread to see what everyone's tried. Let me know if there's anything you've tried and I'll add it in. Edited July 11, 2012 by The Manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8thful 1 Posted July 11, 2012 This happened to me all during the early hours of July 10, 2012 at around 12:01 AM to 4:00 AM. I would not teleport back to previous position exactly, I would create a character, play for an hour and make fantastic progress. My server would start to lag dramatically (about 6 Chicago ones) and I would not be able to pick up items. I would then Abort and disconnect (not being chased by zombies) to switch servers and upon relogging, I would be back on the coast completely started over. It was quite frustrating to have my characters deleted, I am just posting here since this issue seems related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[iogc] b.a. 22 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Again last night, worst one yet, this time it took me back about an hour to a crashed heli I had been raiding about 8km away. My debug monitor did not disappear and all my gear was as it was.I saw Ander mentioned about 'Rollbacks' in another thread being related to the server being 'bogged down'. I'm not sure if this was relating to this issue but if it was I find it hard to believe as I was playing on a server with about 16 people in total and none of the 10 other guys I was playing with in TS had the problem. I would have thought it would happen to all on the server if that was the case.EDIT: I'm still on 1.7.1.5 Edited July 12, 2012 by Mr_B.A.Baracus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrazekmich 0 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Date/Time:16 / 7 / 2012 around 19:00 CEST (not sure, +- 1h)What happened:Debug monitor disappeared and then i was ported back 1000 meters. Tried to restart arma, lost my character and gear, respawned in kamenka.Where you were: / What you were doing:I was running with 3 friends from Bor to Zelenogorsk*Current installed version:v 1.7.2.3 / 94876*Server(s) you were on:DE 141*Your system specs:Core 2 Duo E4600Radeon HD68502x2GB RAMWindows 7 64bit*Timeline of events before/after error:Our group ran from Balota airfield to Zelenogorsk. My friend complained that his debug monitor was disappearing and was ported back twice. He restarted arma 2 and everything was ok. As we were in Bor, we looted some deerstands and ran to Zelenogorsk. After 3 minutes of running my debug monitor started disappearing and i was ported back to the deerstands we were looting. I restarted arma 2 like my friend because it worked for him. After i popped back into the game i was spawned near Kamenka with no gear. Tried few different servers to see if its fixed but i was still with no gear. I'm SURE that i wasnt killed because i was with my firends whole time. Edited July 16, 2012 by mrazekmich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalseeum 3 Posted July 17, 2012 I'm having same problem with the delayed items. This happened alot when I would switch between using a gun and hatchet as my weapon. When I would log out and in to fix it, my items would be set back about ~10mins, this has cost me alot of guns and ammo. It seems to happen after playing ~30+ mins on a server. I did read some of the latest patch notes and noticed you did something with saving characters and the ALT(dunno left or right) key, I use Left ALT to talk in my VoIP program, so I'm pressing it constantly, dunno if that has something to do it. But my gear and stuff will work for at least 20 mins in a server(regardless of how much I press ALT), after that things get weird.I never was actually teleported back though, just gear was set back. This happened on Saturday and Sunday regardless of server. So I started thinking it was something with the hatchet and removing from toolbelt, so all day Monday I never removed it. This is when I actually started teleporting back as well. Had the set back in items all Monday too, played on about 7 different servers, all same results. I have finally died though and will repost if a fresh new character fixes this problem after I play tomorrow.P.S. Debug Monitor was going on and off all during it too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red_orchestra@msn.com 112 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I've been getting this everyday! It's driving me crazy, it can also be used to duplicate items as I found out. In fact, I killed a fully geared player 3 times in a row, because he seemed to keep reverting backwards in time instead of actually dieing, he dropped 3 m107s, I thought he was a hacker at first but then I started warping backwards myself.

LukeSkywalkers 31 Posted July 17, 2012 Oh noes it happend to me again. I still had luck. It only ported me 2 minutes back. Then I logged off. I hope my stuff will stay :LI just found a lovely GPS :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kicktd 42 Posted July 17, 2012 I'm running 1.7.2.3 and some servers will save my position where I log out but a lot of them for some reason don't so I always log back in at the same spot every time. A bit annoying especially if I'm far away from where I was at and want to continue in that area later. So far seems like only 1 server is saving my location properly, the rest don't and I don't want to server hop just to save my position. I don't know if this is a hive issue or what, but quite annoying non the less. I know it's not exactly the same as being sent back to another location as you're playing but it's pretty close as far as position saving goes *sigh*.

Kalseeum 3 Posted July 18, 2012 New player still doesn't fix it, happening alot more and teleporting alot always to the same spot, guess I'm just gonna have to run around and be a axe murder till this is fixed, no point caring about my gear if I just lose it next time I log in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junos 57 Posted July 18, 2012 US 371. 1.7.2.3/95054.I was running across a hill. Then instantly I was next to a barn I had been through about 30 minutes earlier. I was so close my rifle was clipping through it. I was afraid my character was going to get stuck and glitch out and die, but I was able to move away from the barn.Luckily, my teammate happened to be a few buildings away, so it saved us some time meeting up. But it was very strange.A similar teleportation happened to one of my teammates a few days ago. Teleported him a klick or so. Took a while to get back together.
