Respawning in the Danger Zone!

I've been playing on the Test Servers since the last patch, and when I disconnect and come back I'm standing in a completely different place then when I left. Normally this isn't a problem because I always try to log out pretty deep in the woods. Here is my problem though, I had to leave real fast and I was up at the western most Military Office (the one alone in the woods), so I ran about 3 min. into the woods and logged off. When I came back I was standing in the middle of the office building! How can this be? Is this a bug or a feature? Its sometimes hard to tell with Day Z.

Yeah i get this too, it's odd i've even lost a few items because of it (and a sawn off *sob*), it's odd to say the least it's like it is caching an older copy so could be a server issue, i'm really unsure and purely speculating. It isn't happening to my mate though which is weird (or maybe it is and he just hasn't realised).

Sorry wish i could actually provide some insight.

No problem, thanks for the bump, maybe someone will come along that knows the answer!

I don't have an exact answer for you, but I notice this oftentimes happens to me (or something similar) if I log out while under any sort of desync or heavy lag.

It seems that if it can't pull up your character, or if your character didn't save on the shard properly, it will pull the most recent autosave, which I think happens around every five minutes.
