Guest Posted July 21, 2014 The prisons seem to be the most common. I have stopped looting them altogether because of this.See, i never broke my legs/instadeath there - as u stated, its about 2/3-Storybuildings - it's more about every lifted object in the game, could be a pile of wood too cuz the broken legs/instadeaths.

haknslash 763 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Nothing to do ith NWAF.....servers with more around 20 or more are frequently causing epople to lag out and break their legs on the second or third story of buildings. The prisons seem to be the most common. I have stopped looting them altogether because of this.Thanks for the heads up. Strange I've never encounted this phenomenon as I play only on medium to high pop servers. I'm guessing this lag issue doesn't give a red chain? It would suck to be instadeathed by this bug lol. Thankfully I had just found morphine in the jail cell prior to this happening but I thought for sure I was going to die from someone coming up there while I was down for the count :D I blame every bug on Green Mountain. Damn that cursed place! Edited July 21, 2014 by haknslash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ziad 34 Posted July 21, 2014 So.... have we got ANY official word at all whatsoever about the restart thing? Was it a mistake, a stability experiment, a data leak check, what? So far as I can tell, they aren't even aware anything happened. Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted July 21, 2014 Cant wait til the day I can climb ladders and go upstairs again..been confiding myself to ground level for months...I thought the ladders 'got some love' on the update? I'm not sure what Dean meant by that but I can only assume it was fixing the bug causing people to die or break legs climbing ladders. That's also another bug I've thankfully never encountered but I confess I make it a point to avoid ladders when possible because you're such an easy target.

So far as I can tell, they aren't even aware anything happened. ZPeople are saying on reddit they have reset today. I'm at work and can't confirm. My hunch is they deliberately let them run a long time to stress test them since this update was more about server performance than content. I'm sure they knew about it because the devs read reddit all the time and there is no way they wouldn't of known based off everyone commenting on the lack of server restarts.That being said I was definitely impressed because even after several long hours of playing my performance was great (all things being considered).

On the server I just joined a message came up that it resets every 10 hours now. Edited July 21, 2014 by Barnabus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneboys 7988 Posted July 21, 2014 The server I played on today has a 10 hour restart notice : DE 0-8 HC Exp.Yesterday DE0-5 Normal Exp restarted while I was in-game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trev186 389 Posted July 21, 2014 Cant wait til the day when all servers only restart once a week for wednesday maintenance and loot respawns properly...This way you can leave notes or call signs etc which stay in one place for days 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super_Duty 466 Posted July 22, 2014 What is with some of you guys/gals and the broken legs???.. In a thousand hours I've only had this happen to me three times and once was in pitch black darkness on the upper floor of a construction site. I fell off the damn floor and survived somehow, then crawled to the forest, took damn near a hour btw, chopped down a bush and patched myself up. Maybe it's just me, but as I've gotten older, I'm more careful with stairs, ladders, etc. lmao. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the break legs upstairs bug is only avoidable by not going upstairs it happens at random on higher pop servers when lag occurs. Often times your not even aware there is lag and suddenly ur legs are broken. There is no safe way to climb stairs or ladders in this scenario...it isnt people falling down ladders as opposed to climbing on them it is being killed for no reason when ur legs are in pain...

Super_Duty 466 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I don't know, kind of like walking around the upper perimeter of one of those large steel warehouse buildings. Take it slow and easy else lag out the side of the building and plummet to your death imho. Don't get me wrong, it's not right at all, just there seems to be a way to minimize the carnage.

Don't get me wrong, it's not right at all, just there seems to be a way to minimize the carnage.It isnt that people are lagging off the top...it is that they are standing there in an area where it is impossible to fall off and ur legs are broken but ur still in the exact same spot have not even moved....There is no way to avoid a lot of these deaths....

Loopest 60 Posted July 22, 2014 You know, survival is supposed to include 'getting desperate', and starving. These 12 hour restarts made loot very hard to find, and by decreasing loot, people start interacting because they are low on food/drink. For the first time, I have felt that DayZ was a truly harcore survival game. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
