Hello,

 

this is a known issue and a fix is on its way.

There are several workarounds you can use while we work on resolving 

this issue.

 

You can use the few seconds you have before the "You are dead" screen 

appears to slowly move towards the coast each time, until you are 

finally out of the water.

 

Because the core of the issue is the fact that your character is 

actually not dead (despite the "You are dead" screen) you can simply 

wait until your character dies of starvation. Once you are actually 

dead, the respawn button will become available again.

 

Another workaround reported by the community is the following:

 

1) Rename your character and restart the game

2) Log in to a server

3) When you get the "You are dead" or "You are unconscious" screen, open 

the pause menu and respawn

4) The timer will start counting down from 30 seconds

5) During this 30 second countdown quickly switch servers

 

You can always change the beta preference in Steam to play on a 

different database. The stable and experimental versions of the game 

each use a different database, therefore if you are experiencing this 

issue on stable, you will be able to play on experimental.

 

To change the beta preferences, please do the following:

 

1. Right-click DayZ in the Steam library

2. Click properties

3. Switch to the "Betas" tab

4. Change the preference

5. Close the window

6. Wait for DayZ to update

 

We realize that this problem is very frustrating and I assure you that 

we are working hard on a solution that will free the characters of all 

players affected by it.

Does feeding zombies by fresh,delicious and tasty meat are not acceptable anymore?

I am in the water right now, so this is a bit moot? Yes, I suppose getting a zombie to kill me would have been preferrable, except for the MULTIPLE zombies I passed by while crawling as they blatantly ignored me. I swear I was on the glitchiest server of the bunch for my original death. Glitched into the broken leg, glitched past three different zombies who didn't notice me, even though I physically pushed them out of the way with my crawling, then glitched into a non-death.

well...kkk..can you reach the land? If you can - ask someone to go and shoot you down.Also you can try to leave game when it's tell you are dead(and actually you are not) for a few hours etc. so you actually die from starvation(like leave game like that, and go watch TV/Read book etc)...

That's all i heard..GL
