I tried playing earlier today but couldn't...

So, I log in today only to find that my legs are broken. Odd because I don't remember logging off last night with broken legs. I think to myself, "Whatever, I'm not too far from Cherno, and I have a gun. Off to the hospital I go"

I start crawling over, and I get a "you were kicked off the game" message. I just rejoin thinking it's a bug or something. The broken legs bug was more annoying, so a simple d/c or kicked isn't going to stop me! I'm determined!

While I'm crawling on over, I see a fellow survivor running around training 10+ zombies. I just watch him laughing (sorry buddy haha), but then out of no where one of the zombies he is training aggros me from around 50-60m out while I'm prone behind some tall grass. I take the shot since I can't run, and shortly after I see the survivor get mauled to death by the infected chasing him. I start to crawl my way to his dead body to see if he by any chance has anything I can use, but I get the "you were kicked off the game" message again.

I decide the guy running probably had nothing of importance on him and join a different server. I resume my crawling to Cherno hospital. A few minutes later, again, "you were kicked off the game." I keep trying different servers, but I keep getting kicked. At this point, I figured it can't be angry admins kicking me for doing something.

So after a rather bug-filled hour or two of trying to play, I have a few questions.

1) Has anyone else ever logged in to broken legs, and is there anything I can do to prevent this? I heard logging out too close to trees or vehicles can make you explode, so I never do that. Similarly, is there anything that makes you break your legs?

2) If a zombie is aggroed by someone else, are the chances of them seeing you increased even if you are being Solid Snake level of sneaky? Are their "senses heightened" or something?

3) What's with the "you were kicked off the game" message I keep getting? Do I have a bad copy of the ArmA beta patch or DayZ files? Or was it honestly just bad luck and dealing with dicks of admins in the 5 servers I tried?

1) It's an alpha mod, expect bugs, learn to love the bugs.

2) If you are lying in the grass and some infected is already alerted to the general direction, then yes I imagine it would make sense they would spot you in their line of sight.

3) Can be anything from admins to ping too high, to anti-cheat playing up or missing files. There might be log files you can check, but I might be wrong.

I do! Adds a whole new level of challenge haha. Given the amount of PvP flame war on the forums, I've actually died WAY more to bugs than to these sniper bandits which are apparently rampant. I was just wondering if it was because I logged off near or on something I shouldn't have.

Makes sense I suppose. Better just the one infected than the 10.

You (or anyone else) wouldn't happen to know where these log files are located would you?

Apparently there's a lot of de-sync issues at the moment that I've also witnessed first hand, ie like logging of in starysobor and upon reloging being back on top of green mountain. But we shouldn't discuss green mountain, it's not safe...

And I'm afraid I don't know where the log files are kept buddy, if I had to take a stab in the dark, perhaps in your doccuments folder, most saves, logs ect from games end up there in my experience.

hahaha, I'm just going to blame everything on Green Mountain from now on. Maybe my log files are hidden at Green Mountain too!
