CJ_14 105 Posted December 24, 2014 I was shaking so I made a Fireplace and since I wasn't really caring about my character today and it takes longer now to warm up, I left him there prone right by the fire and went to cook something to eat. 30 minutes later I come back to this picture How can I still be cold? those were full 30 minutes! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted December 24, 2014 That does seem a bit absurd, doesn't it? I've never personally run into the issue of not being able to get warm, and it doesn't seem terribly common, but obviously it happens. Is your character wet, by chance? I can't imagine they still would be after 30 minutes of game time next to a fire, but... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though you are burning, you are still in cold weather. I don't know, the games in alpha but if your concern is you don't want to freeze to death, you wont. If it says you are burning I think you will stay warm for awhile. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiGoDeViN (DayZ) 423 Posted December 24, 2014 It's not broke. You need to find a Jerry can, fill it up at a Gas Station, then find matches. Put the jerry can in your hands, it'll give you the option to douse yourself in fire. Once you do that, set yourself on fire. After a few minutes, you'll be back to a healthy 98.6 F body temp. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrainlessZombie 190 Posted December 24, 2014 I am burning!, i'm so cold, i am burning!, i'm so cold, i am burning!, i'm so cold...

Dagwood 680 Posted December 25, 2014 Maybe you were at a high elevation? I've heard elevation has an effect on temperature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munchyuk 7 Posted December 25, 2014 i froze yesterday while surrounded by fires, couldn't warm up no matter how many i built/how close i sat to them. Does burning yourself actually hurt you at the moment?RIP my dodgey akm with the terrible parts, you may have been inaccurate as hell, but you did save me from a few KoS'ers =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
o5pr3y (DayZ) 77 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) This is happening to one of my chars in a private server. It's dry, but I logged him out during the rain, so he logged in wet and got hypothermia. Edited December 26, 2014 by o5pr3y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard elevation has an effect on temperature No, not that high really, didn't knew temperature was affected by height This is happening to one of my chars in a private server. It's dry, but I logged him out during the rain, so he logged in wet and got hypothermia. Is it actually "in-game"? I mean, can you really get that disease? if so...should I need antibiotics?

o5pr3y (DayZ) 77 Posted December 26, 2014 Yeah, you can catch Hypothermia from the cold. Haven't cured it yet, but I'm assuming you just have to get dry clothes on and hang out next to a fire for a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaveMeJebus 164 Posted December 26, 2014 hypothermia isn't really a disease in the sense that you would need antibiotics or meds to cure it, more of a condition or state that your body goes into once your body temp drops below a certain point. That being said it sounds like a bug for sure, especially not having wet clothes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, can you really get that disease? if so...should I need antibiotics? Didn't hurt me...and I was there for 30 minutes Hypothermia is not a disease, it's a condition. A broken leg is not a disease. A bruise is not a disease. Hypo - LowThermia - Temperature It means when our body temperature drops below a stable threshold to where we start having issues with living. Your body is a big chemical/electric engine. Chemical reactions work best at certain temperatures and if you core temp drops too much things stop working well in your body. In game what happens is you lose Energy(your body burning up your "fuel" to try and keep going) and eventually you begin to lose blood and health. I am pretty sure you are bugged and since the thermal system is only a few patches old bugs are to be expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
