bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted September 10, 2014 I hadn't played my HC(first person) character for a long time, when I logged in tonight I was shot dead before I could even load in. No big deal there, just crazy odds that I would be spawning into a place where someone was ready to kill me. It looked like I was in an apartment building, but the building didn't load in time for me to tell. Seemed a little fishy, especially when the server had messages about doing 'testing'. I could hear footsteps and I could hear them take a few more shots to confirm the kill. Anyway, I disconnected and reconnected to the same server, waited the 59 second spawn time and played for a while. A bit later the server went down for restart, when I reconnected I again got the 59second spawn timer. Okay, whatever, I get to see more of the changes to the map. But, the server never repopulated so about 20mins later I decided to switch to one with players, I found a good safe place and logged. I connected to another first person server and instantly got the spawn timer. I bit the bullet and figured that first server was messed up or something. But, after some more testing, most of the time I disconnect and join another server, I have to respawn. Once I did successfully bring my character from one server to another, but then when I tried to go back, I got the timer. Am I missing something? Does the hive need time to catch up? What's the deal?

landmass45 17 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Guy the timer is always going to be there, especially when you're hopping so fast. sometimes you might get a quick spawn but thats rare. The timer will be there, sometimes 20 secs most of the time a full minute. Edited September 10, 2014 by TheOmnius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted September 10, 2014 The problem I was having seems to have fixed itself. I think that first server was having some issues with its connection to the hive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chompster 171 Posted September 10, 2014 You weren't respawning, the timer is a Anti-Ghosting countermeasure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
