unconscious

[d3dennis 0]

Hello fellow gamers! 

What is up with beeing unconscious..? 

I have now been unconscious for 35 minutes.. My friend have given me alot of food and drinks, and are even keeping me warm. My pulse is fine, but my character will not get up! 

We have the same blood type, but he can't take blood from his own carachter and give it to me.. 

Any tips or suggestions? Its my first time playing and sadly.. this might be the last.. 

Regards, Dennis

Getting up to 1 hour of unconscious now.. Is this normal ?

Hahahhahahahahahaha no that's normal, I like the dedication though! I would say your character's health statuses are bugged and "stuck" in being unconscious. I suggest your friend giving you CPR a few times, if that doesn't help then nothing will and you might as well press respawn. Just out of curiosity how did you go unconscious?

It is entirely possible given fluxuating server conditions on the game server you happened to be on at the time, on 0.60.

Part of the issues we are trying to address in 0.61 is directly related to problems such as this, by way of server performance. 
Don't get *too excited* - as while we're all focused on improving server performance - we won't likely hit our targeted server perf goal until we're into beta, as spending too much time on optimization prior to that would be a waste of time.

Thank you very much for answers! I did hit the respawn-button after a while. 

I ended up unconscious by not drinking anything, so my bad i guess.. 

I still have a problem; I can not hear anything in game. I tried with and without my headset. I also tried listening to youtube while playing, wich works fine. 

I have looked trough the forums here and Reddit, and tried different suggestions, but nothing seems to work. A deaf game is kinda... Yhea! Any suggestions from you guys? 

BTW, so far, i really enjoy this game! Tons of fun with the game today :D

I also have to state that I started the game in -safemode

I feel kind a dumb now... I restarted my computer and it worked fine! 

Thanks for help and quick answers! Going to play this game alot in the near future!

Okay, so first I'll address your sound issue.  Make sure your change your default playback device BEFORE you launch the game.  I occasionally forget to switch from speakers to headset, and I have to restart my game and make the switch again while it is not running.

I also discovered a strange unconsciousness bug a couple days ago.  I was meeting up with a friend who usually does pew-pew on the coast or at NWAF and he got lost on the way to ZG.  Long story short, I found him passed out from starvation under the apple trees west of the transformer station.
I force fed him a few apples, gave a bag of *generic* blood and performed CPR, at which point he stood up, so I ran off to check a helicrash.  After a couple minutes, he asked me if it was working, and I'm like WTF, dude, I just revived you.
So I go back to find him standing up, but he said he still has black screen.  So I do another round of CPR and he collapses.  Pick and feed a few more apples, one more round of CPR and he's dead.  Thanks Obama...

I had a friend pass out due to low blood and hydration somewhere in Vybor i spent like 30-40 minutes feeding him and watering him before he came to, had no Epinephrine and i believe this was before they added the option to CPR unconscious players. Good times.

What server conditions, or settings would make this happen?

I have never seen anything that i would know of in the server admin tools we have. Is this with the database that could cause this?

Happens or did happen on public servers too prior to .60 but anything too later people just gave up if 2minutes.
