Server lost connection, joined new one, spawned in random place..

[smittyjaja 4]

So, I was playing on a UK Server with a friend, the server went down for some reason, so about thirty minutes later we joined a German server ( we hadn't joined any other servers ) I spawned in a town not far from where I logged off.

But my friend spawned in a field with nothing around him, only other people who were getting killed, and then he died.

He re-joined, but he spawned on the coast, luckily he had all his items.

What causes this? !!

If the server sends a corrupt location to the hive you will spawn in debug forest. You used to be stuck there

Now with net patch you log off and log back on and you will deepen with all ur gear

I had this happen to me as well. I was all the way north and spawned by kamenka.

It's data corruption that causes it. The corruption happens generally when get stuck at loading or character creation on a server or if you randomly lost connection.

Good news though is that rocket has worked on this so that when there is data corruption you get spawned on the map on not off map in the debug plains (which you can't really get out of and you have to respawn and lose all your gear)

It's the only actual fix to broken shit rocket has made in two months

Guess we should be happy
