xcess (DayZ) 0 Posted June 28, 2012 Just restarted and came bak into the game pretty quickly beause my FPS was low, then suddenly fell unconious.Just wondered if this was to deter people from server hopping and DC'ing in combat, or just a bug.DOn't mind too much if it's for a good cause :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbrodjeski@yahoo.com 16 Posted June 28, 2012 It is a random bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moe King 13 Posted June 28, 2012 I belive this was implemented to help deter DCing while in a firefight. But i only ever seem to get it when i log in and out when im not in combat. So hopefully it's fixed soon. Get real annoying when i log back in from a bio break and i have to wait another 5mins just to wake up. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrducky (DayZ) 33 Posted June 28, 2012 I think its a bug. (Or you have DCed right after getting shot)Most probably the game has buggily autosaved you while you were unconscious, and then failed to save you afterwards. Thus, when you log in the next time, you may find yourself at the location where you were last unconscious, and possibly with the same old gear and that.Of course, if you're getting shot at, falling unconcious, and then quickly disconnecting (or the server just rebooting at a bad moment), you just might end up at that state. (Some claim there is even an intentional feature that does this if you disconnect during a fight, but I've only witnessed the bugs.)At least that's what used to happen on earlier versions when the persistent database was swamped with masses of players.I've had several occasions where I should have spawned with a fresh character after a death, but instead ended up in the location where I died, with the gear I had before death, and being unconscious. (And I have never tried to cheat by DCing - the database just randomly bugs with the saves.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoldElite 0 Posted June 28, 2012 Frodevil that post was unhelpful. I remember seeing something similar about it being to deter DC. yesterday my friend had this problem, whenever he DC'd, he would be unconscious for 5 minutes everytime, but I'm pretty sure this was after he DC'd shortly after being shot.So maybe it is true, and the punishment lasts not just for one DC, but for a day or so?It's also possible it's coincidence, or just the intended system is buggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siggy (DayZ) 95 Posted June 28, 2012 Had this happen to me today, i also passed out for about 5 mins while bleeding, i was at 8k blood when i passed out, i ended up dieing and it was only just under halfway, i lost a shitload of loot from this bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always exactly where i logged out. Maybe it has something to do with how quickly you log back in? I've even tried running and logging while under attack from both zombies and palyers to see if it'd work. But no. Olny had it happen when im out of combat not doing anything but proning in the woods.I've also had the respawn at your dead body thing happen once. Had all my gear that i died with, but was unable to take any of the loot from my dead body next to me. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
