Falling to death after connecting

[Azrail (DayZ) 211]

I just connected to a server with older patchlevel, 1.7.1 on 93825 Name was DE #52, comming from a server on 1.7.1.5 on 93965, forgot the name.

I was north of Guglovo right to the east of a small barn, in the midst of a group of trees.

The incident happpened around 16:45 GMT+1 i think.

Right after spawn, i fell from about 25 meter to my death on the ground, i couldn't tell if it was the location where i logged off, but i couldn't find my body after running back up there, this sucked quite a bit.

I suspect the older patchlevel being the culprit, prior to this me and my group hopped a bit on 1.7.1.5 servers to find a decent one with daylight and no xhair etc, and eventually enhenced filter to older patchlevels.

the server we found unfortunatly wasn't decent for me.

I now know i will make sure to stay away from servers with not-up-to-date patchlevel.

same thing has just happened to me but was logging into a server that I play on all the time, dont know exact location but has nailed it for me, brilliant game, love it, but cant see the point in wasting time on it since i am 99% killed by stupid things like this, twice this has happened, both times with pretty good gear, I can survive against zombies, players you can live against if you think carefully about where you are and what your doing but surviving against 20ft drops = impossible

any input devs as to why this is happening? is it hackers or just some random bug?

Its a bug.

And if you are worried about bugs screwing you over again and again, don't play this.
