Probably Done playing DayZ Forever Until This awful bug is fixed....

[leviski 2152]

I just cant bare to play DayZ anymore.

 

This isn't a Rant its an attempt to draw attention to a serious problem in dayz that needs to be fixed....

 

 

How many of you have had the bug where you shoot someone, and they go unconscious, and then you proceed to fill their passed out body with all the ammo you have, and said bullets do no damage because of the Retarded bug that causes unconscious players to be in some sort of "God mode"

 

then said player gets up and manages to shoot you once or twice and you fall over dead.

 

This has happened to me on countless occasions in the past week, and the final straw was broke when it happened on Musty Epoch Server. 

 

I cant play this game anymore if im going to spend hours gearing up only to get killed by a epic game flaw that still isn't fixed.

Can I have your CD key?

I haven't played the mod for a while but are you 100% sure the bug is related to DayZ itself and not the customised server (Musty) for a different mod (Epoch) you're playing?

 

I guess others can post here if they have the same issue and at least we can highlight it to the devs then.  If it's specific to that mod though (Epoch) or the customised server you're playing on then the Official DayZ devs can't help.

I've never encountered said bug.

It is annoying but it's been brought up countless times on the forums and yet it still hasn't been fixed.  I thought it had to do something with how arma is but don't take my word on it.

 

At least it'll be fixed in SA.

[elf cakes 559]

the bug exists, it's when a player is unconscious, shooting them anywhere but the head seems to do absolutely nothing. it is damn annoying actually and i'm surprised that nothing's been done about it really

[entspeak 374]

And you're sure it's not a lag thing?  I've had intances where I've been shot and not died for a long time because of lag.  I'd be bleeding out the whazoo, but didn't die for 20 minutes.

Have the devs ever responded as to why it continues to be an issue?  If not it may be worth posting on the latest patch thread to make them aware and maybe get an explanation.

It's the first time I'm hearing about this, I'll take a quick look.  ^_^

You do know that you will have to find someone,shoot them,keep shooting them, then see if they wake back up.lol All in the name of science!

[p4triot 207]

The bug has something to do with extreme low fps I think, its like my computer CPU can't manage whats happening around and they affect you really late. And Im saying that because I play on low fps (8-12, even 5 if the server has been online for more than 3 hours) and I am usually the one with god mode xD

Private dev test server.

You need to adjust the angle and distance. The bullets bug out and don't register. Just increase your distance and keep shooting.

[Wolfensteinsaurus 2252]

Wait until he wakes up, sneak behind him, whack him on the head.

[Hetstaine 10852]

I have only ever had it when i used to get really bad ping on my old isp or with bad desync from the server. 

[leviski 2152]

Well my ping is about 40 when im on musty

 

and I normally don't play server that have a ping above 100

 

So, Im not sure

 

But I have literally lost hours of game-play because of this.

 

The only way to get around it is to use the drag body feature and hold them until they die....

 

and that can be avoided by logging out.

 

and it happend on all servers and variations of the mod, and only when they are knocked out, im talking about shooting someone 100 times and then they fall over dead after they got a few rounds back off.

[callsignBravo (DayZ) 323]

Its happened to me in multiple dayz versions, when im shooting of im the shot one.

when you are in the wake up timer you see the person walk over and shoot you but the rounds arent hitting you on your screen.

"...forever until..."

Forever has no until! Problem solved.

It's definitely related to DayZ, however I believe it was supposed to have been fixed in an update a couple months back.  If you haven't noticed it in the last year then you have clearly never shot an unconscious person as it was pretty much a feature gone wrong.  It was intended to make you survive zombie attacks by reducing their damage to 50, but it also did it to player fired bullets.

 

That being said the easy workaround was simply to wait until they started getting back up and shoot them in the head during that long animation.  It's really simple and if you let them get back up and shoot you then you are really bad.

[TheWizard14 372]

Yeah this happened to me SEVERAL times and annoys the FUCKING SHIT OUT OF ME. One time I was playing on DayZ Origins server and I see some bandit dude swiping at some AFK survivor and he dies. While he is looting I put 3 good revolver shots into his head and he falls unconscious though I have no idea how he fucking survived 3 head shots. So I am just sitting their wasting 3 whole mags into his body PLUS his head, and he still doesn't die. Then he gets up with his fucking hatchet, chases me around but I can't stop running to get a good shot because he will hatchet me if I try. So we are running around for like 5 minutes and I finally turn around and shoot him. I end up killing him but he ends up hatcheting me to death too. 

 

This bug seriously needs to get fixed as it's damn annoying and a life killer.

If I remember correctly, this is not a bug. It was added by R4ZWHTAEVERHISNAMEIS to give players a chance to survive a zombie knocking them out.

Well. If they did add that they did a pretty fucking horrible job. All it does is let the zombie knock you out, then let the zombie EAT YOU which will basically take you down to 3000 health, but if there is 2 zombies or more you are fucking screwed and dead.

[entspeak 374]

We tested this on the BMRF public test server... unable to recreate the bug.  Many people on the server have said they've not had this issue in 1.8 and have had no problem killing knocked out people.

 

So... either it's been fixed or it's an issue with the mod variants.   Doesn't seem to be an issue in vanilla DayZ 1.8.

Like I said earlier I'm pretty sure it was already fixed in a patch.  Some 1.7.x patch a couple months ago.

The guys are looking into this.
