rickyriot 1009 Posted December 20, 2014 More a question rather than a bug report, both of these things are pretty major within the game so I feel if it's a bug I won't be the only person to suffer it. 1) Gutting animals; both a stag and a cow and both shot with different weapons. Using the machete (which was damaged, not ruined) I can get the action from the menu, and it displayed the animation. Once finished nothing happens. From the action menu I have the options to "view contents","hide body" and "cancel current". I can cancel then repeat the action but it does the same. I've tried going away from the corpse and approaching it again from a different angle but the same happens once more. I even waited long enough after performing the skinning (but getting no stakes/guts) that the corpse disappeared. 2) I was sitting in front of a fire that had 2 logs in it. It had been burning for some time. Suddenly the fire disappears. Not just the logs and the fire going out, but just disappears completely, no fireplace left. I am guessing this is probably down to a problem with the server, but just wondering if anyone else has suffered these issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiGoDeViN (DayZ) 423 Posted December 20, 2014 Same thing happened to me last night. Killed a boar with a Mosin and when I tried gutting it with a pristine Machete, it would show the animation but give me nothing. I'm not sure, but I heard where the DDoS attack happened, they had to use back up servers or something. I guess they were bugged because it was also nighttime on every server I tried too.

Anyways if you were playing during this attack then there were a bunch of things wrong with the servers and game and stuff.

rickyriot 1009 Posted December 20, 2014 Just to confirm, this happened to me just minutes before I posted the thread. The gutting issue seems to be a server connection issue as I was able to skin a pig after 3 failed attempts. It seems that if you keep on trying you have a chance of it working.

My incident with it happened well after 8PM last night. So it's probably a problem with the new patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickyriot 1009 Posted December 20, 2014 Gutted a pig with no issues.... Had the fire dissapear on me though....it had been burning for a while...trying to get rid of the shake glitch... I am thinking that as the gutting seems to be a bit hit and miss it's probably just a connectivity issue. See for the fire, had it been burning for a while? Mine had been (it had 2 logs in it) and I went off to get something and returned. I am thinking this might actually be a bug where instead of the logs disappearing because they had burnt out, but instead it removes the whole fireplace - just a guess, of course.

They may have included this to have the fire with an actual lifespan, as previously I had a character for about a week hunting and living of the same fire without having to add new logs etc....

modis002 78 Posted December 20, 2014 2) I was sitting in front of a fire that had 2 logs in it. It had been burning for some time. Suddenly the fire disappears. Not just the logs and the fire going out, but just disappears completely, no fireplace left. yep a fire place disappeared for me today i was cooking some fish and i was eating my baked beans while looking away from the camp fire. when i turned around to see how is my fish doing. the camp fire was gone. at first i thought that some troll sneaked up and took my fireplace.

NinjaTurkey 255 Posted December 20, 2014 Same things happened to me while the patch was still in experimental. Fire disappeared, and i gutted a deer but i didnt get anything out of it neither did the body disappear. I later gutted another deer and it worked fine.
