Another weird thing happened while spawning in...

[s1rGr1nG0 81]

Maybe I should stop logging out inside of buildings. :P

 

I logged out inside one of those metal barns where you can climb a set of stairs and walk around to a small room on the opposite end of the barn from the stairs. Think it has a blue roof. Anyway, when I log back in my character shouts out in pain, I'm bleeding, and have a fracture. First thing I thought was I was shot but when I pressed "P" I was the only one on this server. I did notice, however, that when I spawned in I had spawned on a chopping axe. Could my spawning in on top of the axe caused my damage and fracture?

nope it is a dysync error...it respawns you thru the floor and the fall breaks your leg.....is my guess

[s1rGr1nG0 81]

That's just it. I didn't fall. I was still upstairs in the same room I logged out in

 

EDIT: Also, luckily I had plenty of bandages and a couple splints so I was good to go in just a couple minutes.

It's still a desync bug.  The game THINKS you fell through the floor so it applies the damage.  I've had it happen to me once.

this is how people end up under houses when spawning

Ahhh ok. Thanks guys!

I wouldn't exclude the possibility that there was an issue with the axe, but just generally that there was an item you collided with.

 

I once had a guy who spawned on me in the barricaded room in a police station because we were trying to find a way out and it broke my legs.

Well it's more or less the same but it's where your client is faster than the server.

The game thinks you're on the ground and you catch up before the building registers/loads, so you wind up stuck when the building loads in.  What happened to him was the building loaded in time so he was in rather than under, but for one reason or another the building suddenly 'disappeared' and he was still two stories up in the air so the game treated it as if he jumped off a ledge and thus fall damage/broken leg.
