Glad to see that insta-death on the police stairs is still a thing

Recommended Posts

My friends character phased through a wall awhile back when he was standing still

 

I thought it was pretty cool

I often read about that thing, but never had it occur to me. Neither has a ladder, nor have stairs killed me. Which brings up the question, why this happens. Is it desync or are stairs and ladders just bugged. As far as I can remember, I never died due to a bug. But I will hold you fellow survivor.

The server thinks your still outside, hence why going back outside and back in allows you to pick up loot that wouldn't give you the option. Or opening and closing a door works too

That would indicate a desync. So it is just a problem of network/system performance and the capability of the server to process all player data. I think that it had been discussed many times before and without the server being able to process the incoming data more efficiently, it can't be fixed.

I always read about these kinds of deaths, but have never witnessed one or have ever been subjected to one either.

 

Are you sure someone at the top didn't shoot you? xD

Never? You must be new to DayZ.

New-er, I suppose. I've been playing for about 3 months and never have ever actually died from a bug. Count me lucky.

 There are a lot fewer deadly bugs in SA than there were, unless you have a laggy variable connection

But jumping from rock to rock on the cliffs or running up and down buildings with the high-speed key on all the time will get you killed sooner or later.

Take it easy. At home you wouldn't run down spiral stairs with 50kilos of weapons and gear on your back (or maybe you would, I dunno)

To make sure, i hear that if you do the jump action it re-synchs you with the server, so you both know where you are.

 

there is a recent thread on unexplained deaths if you look around.

Also, falling down stairs in police stations has famously been known to happen IRL, from time to time, so perhaps this is just game realism ?

I got killed glitch thrown from a car and "confirmation of changes" followed by authentication timeout- randomly died on an empty server in the middle of the woods... But I've never died from the steps-ladder glitch either and while not an expert by any means I'm a thousand plus hours guy...

One of the guys I play with sub 20 hours in died a week ago via stairs... I have no idea what it relates to- I suppose if the devs did it'd be fixed by now :(

It's the most random thing ever. I have played for at least 8 months without experiencing any of the kind - and I've played hard! Then, two weeks ago, I got badly injured, boots and pants ruined and legs broken when leaving an apartment in Berezino. I had been there two dozens of times without incident. A day later I got killed in an apartment of the same type in Nowodmitrovsk. These kind of issues could also be related to the way portals between openings in structures (doors, windows) are handled. (Sometimes when you look out of a window and turn too fast, you see the environment outside build up) You basically transverse through a portal for visibility when you leave a building and the stairs seem to be separate models/meshes so they can be placed more conveniently when/where needed. Whatever kills us there is hopefully going to vanish when the new occlusion system is in place for buildings. I just wish that they had made it so that our bodies don't despawn in ten minutes, until the problem is solved. I do believe it will be solved though, but probably only after the 0.60 update.

It's still a thing in every two story building and higher.  I got dayZed in the double green the other day walking up the stairs. Also seen a guy die in the ATC building heading up to the top floor. That isan't fixed but we have a new machine gun comming out.  THANK GOD !!  Because the stair deaths can wait .. what we desperately need is another automatic machine gun that holds a 200 round box.

same i haven't dies to stairs or ladders since back in the first months's, doesn't mean it doesn't happen i usually play on servers with below 100 ping. Not sure if that means shit probably not. I to wonder why it persists for some folks I'm sure like others say its dsync of some sort but why for some and not for others.

It used to happen all the time then it went away. Now it happens once in a while. Its annoying when you are geared and die from nothing. It has nothing to do with ping. Desync doesn't happen because of bad ping.
