Does the protector case still cause desync/rubberbanding when carried or was it fixed?

[randmanq 38]

A few months ago I had read in various places that having multiple protector cases (or maybe just one) filled up on your character was causing allot of desync issues. I got rid of all mine and maybe it was just placebo but it seemed to reduce my desync, but others have also claimed that the cases never caused desync in the first place.

 

Has it been fixed in the last few stable patches, specifically in the guaranteed messaging stable patch? Or have rocket or hicks commented on this before?

 

I would like to keep two or three of them on my character but I hate the desync issues. If carrying a protector case will risk me rubberbanding and falling to my death, then I'd rather not have 3 of them in my backpack.

 

Thank you!

I dont carry more than 1, just in case.. not sure though

should be fixed.

Not true .I experienced heavy desync yesterday without carrying one of these

I'm pretty sure this doesn't relate to the issue they are talking about. Plenty of people get desync for other reasons.

I'm currently carrying about 5cases one inside the other with a med kit at the bottom and have had no problems. I do this way because otherwise when I log out they start disappearing. Something to do with how the items rearrange in your bags on login I think

I was carrying the maximum number possible, (even 2 or 3 protector cases inside of protector cases) and I never noticed any desync issues.

The protector cases can randomly go missing, even with stuff stored in them?

They cause desync, but only when you carry more than 5-6, especially if they put in one another, then you won't be able to do anything. I almost managed to drop them (and save the items from them) and now never carry more than 2 cases put in one another.

 

So just don't put them together and you should be good. Thanks to protector cases and ammo boxes, I can have over 1000 bullets for my guns while being low profile with improvised backpack (an elite tier item in DayZ).

In my experience yes, but only if your backpack is nearly full. When your items get rearranged and for example the bottom row of your backpack is the only empty space, even though it's technically enough slots they are horizontal, not the 2x2 needed for a case. In that situation it goes poof.

I've only had this happen once or twice, and only when I had two ammo cases ave two protector cases. If what I'm saying is the true cause atm then the moral of the story is to limit the amount of 2x2 objects in full bags or the game won't be able to fit the puzzle back together on log in.

I try to avoid this by keeping say, ammo box in pants, spread everything out. Not shirt though Thsts just asking for a nice big ruin.
