Zombies with crazy range

I bought Day z on launch (so I know its early access)  but have recently been experiencing a strange problem and was wondering if anyone has seen similar as I can't seem to fix it and It has basically made the game unplayable at it has happened consistently . 

 

What happens is around the when I enter a building (and it ONLY seems to happen in buildings) I will begin taking mallee damage without any sound, It will happen over and over until I am dead. There are never any players or zombies close by and appears to happen at random. 

 

At first I thought it was a hacker as the behavior was so strange but last night I confirmed its actually a zombie attacking me as I saw its animation before I took damage; But he was two rooms away from where I took the first hit. 

 

 

 

I've tried reinstalling it and it has happened across multiple patches and no one I have played with has experienced it .

I think you might have lost your hitbox. That's happened to me a few times where I ran into a building but still was getting hit by a zombie who was standing outside. The only real fix is to run right where the zombie is attacking and "rescue" your hitbox by running into it.

That's awesome, I wish I knew that before. I've always ran back to the door to kill the zombie that's kicking my hitboxes ass!
