any investigation on "instant death" bug?

[R0B3RTF1SH3R 66]

So yeah as topic suggests, im sure we are all wishing this be fixed.

im kinda apprehensive about playing at all at the moment when you could just randomly die at any point. sure i dont mind dying to something i know what's wrong (player,fall,zombie etc) but just being STRUCK dead by the game. makes me wonder. "ok so im testing an early access alpha and this is to be expected, dont get to comfortable with your gear etc" but where do we go from here. we notice the problems. do you abstain from playing or just put up with it? 

to me this is "high priority" of things to fix ASAP. how can you go any further on testing stuff where this is in the way?

 

 

this just happened to me again..... 

did 2 heli runs lastnight, found  2 m4's plus the worx (amphib,skull bal,grens) etc.feeling happy. log into game tonight. choose a server. spawn in and

 

READY.message

followed by sounds,

AHH AHH 

my leg is in pain

my leg is very painfull

 

you are dead.

 

 

LOVE IT

 

so. 

dont go into pill box's.

fire stations.

towers.

 

any elevation or anything building with multi stories?

 

what are the known issues with this atm.

 

ive figured its "falling damage" because if you find your body its only pants ruined. which is typical of falling dmg.

This happened to me in one of those garage type areas, was a newspawn, had been playing about 1 and 1/2 hours on a night server so there were few people,

Had not been shot

Got hot by a few zombies, was full healthy, hydrated and energised, I was cold (NOT hypothermia)

5 other players on the server
Saw a newspawn at solnichny running towards electro and another looting berezino who also headed south, headed
Up to Svet and saw the group of other 3 players at the police station, went to the garages behind as I saw them leave and run across the field to the north east airfield

Opened the garage door and moment later I dropped Dead

I returned to find all my gear intact, and so know it wasn't the group that shot me
As I had only stopped watching them 5 seconds before that and they were 100m at least and running the opposite way

As for the other players, a newspawn would have taken my gun and other supplies, as by killing themselves would be the only way to get back up north so quick after I spotted them heading south

This is not the first time I've encountered
This bug, it's just the first time I can say with any certainty that it wasn't a player or
Zombie, and something else entirely

The first 3-4 times I assumed I'd been shot, but this time I apparently died for no reason and had similar
"My leg is in pain" moments before hand

Did you make a Report ?

If this has happened "at least a dozen times" I would hope so, if you did please give the link.

I posted about this same problem a week ago, ....

Do not turn this into another 11 October Flamefest.

Boneboys are you an admin? If so you're doing a terrible job because I am seeing my post deleted. I explained to the OP what the problem was..

 

I think we owe it to our players to talk about this issue, or at least explain to them how to mitigate it. If you think that's going to be a flamefest then I think you're misguided.

 

In case this doesn't get deleted I will sum up my other post:

 

a) don't climb stairs after 2-3 days

B) always carry a splint

c) its a bug that has already been reported 100+ times

If I remove a post it is for good reason.

 

"a) don't climb stairs after 2-3 days", what are you on about, this is so wrong I don't even know how you come to this conclusion, is this is advice then don't bother.

" B) always carry a splint", breaking bones is part of the game, so yeh, ok.

"c) its a bug that has already been reported 100+ times" yes fall damage has and is still being worked on, which answers the OP question.

 

Well done, have some :emptycan:.
