Physics glitch in buildings, 'you are dead' need advice

[gianni001 37]

Hi guys

 

This is not a winge, I know the game is ALPHA I know there is bugs, but recently I have died quite often just standing still in a building, generally the 3 story ones with the attic at the top and I just get my leg is in pain you are dead. On many occasions my friend has been with me and can confirm I wasnt shot, my pants and shoes were ruined. On some occasions I catch its before it kills me and I just take damage / get ruined pants.

 

Is there any tips to avoid this? Last night I lost an ungodly amount of good gear to this coupled with a server reset.

 

I know its a bug, I know its ALPHA, I know it wont be fixed soon, I dont care, I just want some community input on trying to avoid it.

 

Thanks!

since it's just you, and it's happening multiple times while being watched by someone you trust, then you are probably having lag/latency spikes. the game sees you down on lower level, and next thing you know, you are up on top floor. The latency didn't allow for the full movement, so it sort of 'put' you on the top floor, destroying your legs in the process. 

 

If this is the case, fix the latency. If it's something else, maybe someone else will have ideas.

Commonly happens on high pop servers. When on a high pop server do not go upstairs

3 story ones with the attic? I used to have a problem whereby if I ran down the side of the stair cases that lead to the top 'shelves' of the red roofed barns I just collapsed dead but that hasn't happened to me for a while now

This has happened to me and friends on several occasions in military jails. Not sure if it's related to traversing stairs too quickly or what, but sucks when your leg breaks at green mountain with no one to help. I've also notice I don't bleed when this happens. Edited July 11, 2014 by NastyNate

Yeh, my connection is fine, but the common denominator is high pop servers.

Combines this with no loot respawns and you win more and more over to server hopping....

Happens to me all the time anymore.

Stop wall peeking.

 

A friend I run with wall peeks all the time, and it happens to him every single time, ruined pants/boots.

Yeh, well you have some nerve accusing someone of wall peaking based on no factual evidence other than your friend does it. Who are you again? Why the fuck are you accusing me of exploiting?

 

not that I have to justify it to the likes of you but on 2 occassions I was looting the shelving unit and died, and last night on the 3rd occasion I had just reached the top floor and was looting a beanie off the ground. 

 

You. Are. A. Fuckwit.

 

Thanks.

I didn't accuse you of wall peaking, I accused you of wall peeking.

 

This might help you.

 

While I'd like to actually give you my opinion of what you are, this is the official forum for DayZ and I have no inclination of getting banned.

it is a bug happening in the game,  there is nothing you can  do about it.

[Etherious 907]

What happens is that the building literally disappears according to the server data, so when that happens the server is like "Welp...shit, gotta fix it by letting that guy fall through." So, essentially to the server you were standing on nothing so it proceeds to throw onto the ground.However, to us we are just minding our own freaken business then DEAD.  :)

 

Edit: HOWEVER, this usually only happens when pushing against the building or up against something within the building.....but can rarely happen without you pushing against something.

This happened to me yesterday. I had 2 ak mags in my pants and I stood still for a couple of seconds only for everything below my belt to be ruined,

[attackm0de 38]

jesus its not wall peeking, its when you walk up to the top deck in the barns. Its happened to me.

I wall pee all the time. Except for some weird looks from the sorority down the street, it's nothing really wrong with it.

 

Now, as for the broken legs, it's happened to me and sometimes it takes the server a second or two to recoginze it. You might already be looting something from a bed upstairs, and BAM, "DOWN GOES PLAYER". Irritating, but there is nothing to fear but fear itself!

[attackm0de 38]

Just now whilst playing hardcore, I climbed the ladder to the top of a school to peek and see if anything was up there. Bam, You're dead -  again!!

 

It is definitely happening on a more frequently. I wouldn't mind so much as I know Im playing alpha but this is straight after my character wiped in Vybor. It pisses me off regardless of what stage the game is in and I hope the next update smooths this out to an acceptable level.

Happened to me on a low-pop experimental server with like 6 poeple on it. Was in Green Mountain jail…nobody in sight, zeds all over the compound so nobody was hiding or similar…jail was completely clear.

[Esccapee 45]

You don't need to wall peek to get this bug. Walk up on 1st floor, take few steps. BAM. Legs broken, you are dead. Ok...

it is a bug happening in the game,  there is nothing you can  do about it.

 

We can report it so they can fix it? It makes me not even want to bother playing anymore. I understand its an Alpha but if Im going to sink in a couple hours into a new character then die every 3-4 hours from it why even play the game. So yes this is not just happening to him and hopefully it becomes a tracked bug.

I died now like 5 times in elektro firestation second floor in past 2 weeks.  And it is always in Elektro, nowhere else in firestation I broke my legs or died. Also many buildings in elektro kill too, or break your legs. Blaming wall-peeking is retarded.

I have had my legs broken seemingly for no reason many, many times

 

usually on a roof or stairs
