Player killed or accidental death?

[cpo1bishop 44]

I was crouched inside the tower area on top of the new police hall when I sar a zombie out front, opened the door and went prone in the doorway that leads to the roof. As soon as my character would have been prone, you are dead, my leg is in extreme pain, I think my leg is broken. I heard nothing at all.

 

Did some sneaky bastard get the drop on me, or did I fall prey to a bug?

 

Of course one can only offer ones opinion, unless someone else has fallen through that particular floor.

I would suspect in first place that some server hopper got you since it was polce station and in second place that you bugged thought the floor beaking all bones.

 I heard nothing at all.

 

 

The biggest, current, game-breaking bug in the game is the audio drops on weapon firing. Just because you didn't hear the shot doesn't mean it didn't happen. Months ago it was just the Mosin, now it's every gun. My squad mates will hear shots that I won't hear all the time. It's a bug that needs looking into sooner than later imho.

 

I hope this isn't shelved like the ambient audio bugs that's set for the end of development.

To me thats clearly the killing-kind-bug. Esp since your legs are broken, its usually related to that. Crouching can be a bad idea in some places, or even switching weapons for that matter, anything that radically changes your hitbox. A couple times now i shouldered my weapon in the military office, top bedroom near a bed there in a certain place. I witnessed as my character slightly glitched into the bed and back in about 1,5 seconds, after he glitched back "You are dead" and the same leg is in pain stuff etc.

 

Imo no one shot you, you died to a bug.

        This is probably the case, it happens a lot. When I do team vs. team we often don't hear eachother's sniper shots, but they obviously happen :P

[massacrorBKK 64]

It happens to me once too. I would say lag or bug make you fall and killed you.

 

In my case, I took a ladder and show my face up a building then while going down I died instantly. I thought I was snipe but my friends who get my body told me that my pants and all their content was ruined so it was quite clear that I died from falling and breaking my legs.

 

Especially because my friends don't get snipe later... There was nobody but another psychopathic ladder...

There is a bug with gun sounds?

Now that explains much.

 

Was running on a semi pop server in the middle of the forest with absolutely nothing around, suddenly *bang bang bang* VERY CLOSE to me. Didn't see anyone, just ran my ass out of there.

the gun firing bug is to do with not hearing gunshots when a gun is being fired. someone probably did shoot at you in the woods that time, id say, 

[terminal_boy 860]

You were moving while going prone and your character model clipped the doorframe.

Movement + going prone + object = serious injury or death in ArmA.

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

If it was experimental it could be the remains of the rubberbanding bug, which means the game sometimes still thinks you are another place than you percieve you are. This means zombies can attack you in that place, and especially if you go prone, onehit kill you.

[Khanarac 252]

Bollocks. I died today in one of those pipe-hallways, above the the street in berenzino, because i took my weapon into my hands. My corpse ended up falling through the entire thing, laying on the street.

 

It's a bug.
