MrMike_1981 17 Posted March 21, 2014 With all these problems with Dsync on larger servers and the waiting for host nightmare everyone seems to be having, be smart. I have had several clan members log in dead due to zombies beating the tar out of them while they are loading into the server, since the zombies have gotten more aggressive and spawn all over the place be very mindful on where you log out at. The best place and where I find a good spot is in houses or buildings at least on the second floor. DO NOT log out in fields or anywhere outside or you might log in dead because the server lag we are experiencing with battleye problems. I mean sometimes it takes several minutes for my clan mates and I to get through the please wait or waiting for host screen to come in to a flashing white screen...arm broken...leg broken...you are dead and you couldnt even see it happening. SO log out upstairs, DO not log out outside... Also, the only problem I see is when server resets and since most of the time you don't know when it could reset with you in a bad place. Before the zombies were kinda tame and you could log out anywhere and the chances were that you were in and loaded up before zombie gets a few hits on you. Now since you bleed just about each time your hit , you die much faster and since BATTLEYE is broken at the moment, don't trust log out locations...My advice join servers where you know when reset time is so you can get to a safe location prior. Happy gaming! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrelist 236 Posted March 21, 2014 +1 I'll copy paste what I posted in the other thread. The desync issues have been causing similar problems for me. I'll be running around looting and my friend will say that I'm being punched by like three zombies - totally different from what I see on my screen. Relog to find I'm either greyscreen or dead. QQ right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMike_1981 17 Posted March 21, 2014 the best is when you are getting beat down by invisable zombies...fail....they need to fix this , I can deal with the falling through floors, zombies through walls BUT CANT STAND dsync. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makomachine 263 Posted March 21, 2014 Dsync or not - this is good advice in the new build regardless. Zeds will still have a shot at you as you log out if not in a safe place. Best to always be somewhere where they can't be as a general rule. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best to always be somewhere where they can't be as a general rule.well the scary part is server resets, since a lot of times it puts you waaaay back from where the message appeared. Perhaps when server resets they should have a timer to when zombies attack ppl? Just a suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrelist 236 Posted March 21, 2014 A good indicator that I'm starting to desync is when I can't open doors, or press v to vault. I usually try and logoff when I notice this. We'll just have to wait for this Hotfix in the meantime, I can't play with the current build at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl 986 Posted March 21, 2014 Maybe they should also implement spawn protection like in some other games? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMike_1981 17 Posted March 21, 2014 Maybe they should also implement spawn protection like in some other games?great idea SAK. I think before they add anything else in this game they need to fix this problem with spawning in dead. I don't understand why they are adding all this stuff but the game still has a lot and I mean a lot of glitches (ie. falling out of buildings just by pulling out your scope, or falling through floors).

chekovp 89 Posted March 21, 2014 Fuck no to spawn protection, there is no point in adding something new for a bug that will be fixed. Spawn protection is for the weak.I still log out where I always have, in the woods under a pine tree, well away from any town. I have yet to log back in at the shore or being beaten by zombie.

solodude23 649 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) spoken like a true bandit :)Why does that make him a bandit? It's always been smarter to log out in the woods, far from any sign of life. It's even more important now with semi-dangerous zombies. Adding a feature for a fixable bug is going a bit too far and it's unnecessary. Not only that, but I could see how this could potentially become abused by the people who decide to log out in military bases and airfields. Spawn protection was terrible in BF3.

nik21 287 Posted March 21, 2014 What on earth makes you believe that BE is broken or related to/ causing desync? Because it is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuPaFuNk 30 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Me and two of my good buddies played for 7 hours on stable branch last night. We each experienced 1 lost session and occasional heavy desync. We do not logout, we keep running or if inside find a door to test. Once shit synced up again it was usually an hour or more before the next desync/lost session. I see tons of players lose session around me yet I only experience 1 out of maybe 5 lost sessions. Edited March 21, 2014 by SuPaFuNk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl 986 Posted March 21, 2014 When I suggested spawn protection I wasn't only thinking about it as a solution to a bug that will most likely be solved. It can also protect against other players when there is network latency and think about a rebirth spawn where YOU don't decide where to spawn but there may still be a zombie or a spawn killer.

ig-rage 78 Posted March 21, 2014 you simply can't do this when you get kicked whilst experiencing de sync at the same time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nawcor 0 Posted March 21, 2014 I had the joy of being kicked on Wed night and coming back Thurs to find that I was in the same spot I was booted from but with a new broken leg and ruined items. Now I have to decide to try to fix this or just end my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
