Disable autosave (during alpha)

[anders190 0]

Hello!

I have a suggestion for DayZ. It would be nice to have the option to disable autosave and instead force save when you are in cover. If you get shot you die like you usually do however. If you lose your connection while doing something and your last save was when you, for example, were moving over the landingstrip at an airfield you will instead spawn where you saved before disabling auto-save, out of harms way.

Twice now I have gotten killed by getting disconnected from the server and when finally got back on a server I respawned on the landingstrip which means that you get insta-killed if someone is around.

My problem isn't bandits or dying but the way the game saves and the fact that you have no control over it. Just an option to disable auto-save for a specified number of minutes would be nice as well. I don't think this would be necessary once the mod matures but in the mean time, it might help those of us that have issues with this.

Anyone else having issues with this? It has become more of a issues after 1.5.7 for me but it did happen before as well.

You may have a point. The way I was thinking shouldn't give you any advantages though. If you get killed you die like you usally do. If you lose the connection you would just have lost all progress made. It would propably be abuseable as you say so just scratch it.

Hopefully the save system has matured during the two last weeks, might be time for me to try the alpha again. A lot seems to have happened recently. =)
