Bugs/Glitches I've Encountered in DayZ (As of 7/23/12)

[kmach1ne 15]

Since this thread doesn't seem to meet the requirements of the Bugs section of the forums, I figured this is the next best place.

I'll keep this introduction short and sweet. I'll get right to listing bugs/glitches I've encountered as well as what my friends have encountered. I'll list the following bugs/glitches in numerical order and you (the viewer) can confirm each one you have also encountered as well as submitting new ones. I'll try to update the list as much as possible.

I'll start with eleven and update as I think of more and as I hear more from you guys.

1. Inventory deleting items if required room is insufficient.
   
2. Camping tents deleting/duping items.
   
3. Vehicles deleting/duping items.
   
4. If you gain new items or weapons and proceed to log out within a few minutes, chances are when you log back on, most or all of those newly acquired items are gone.
   
5. When firing a weapon, sometimes the gun won't shoot even if the weapon is in the "ready" position. Switching weapons back and forth seems to be a temporary fix.
   
6. Dropping items or weapons on the ground may delete said items or weapons.
   
7. Lose all items when swimming. (Even on the most recent beta patch and server option enabled)
   
8. Zombies can walk through doors and walls.
   
9. Dead zombies seem to stand up above their twice-baked corpse for a split second when a player enters that area. Which can be used as an indicator for other players staking out a barracks or whatever.
   
10. Zombies run extremely fast or at least the ones that don't have spina bifida or lieutenant Dan syndrome. Since the sprint key doesn't seem to actually make your character run faster, you're stuck at one running speed and the running zombies catch you in a matter of seconds.
    
11. The animations for the zombies are sped up to break neck speeds and zombies have to stop, pause and then swing for the fences. More of an annoyance than a threat.
    
12. Server updates/game updates while in game can cause item/weapon loss upon reentry into server.
    

Like I said, I'll keep updating the text with more bugs/glitches periodically.

That's quite a large list for something made today.

[kmach1ne 15]

The intent is for it to be a very very large list so that we can have most of the bugs experienced in the game all in one place. And I've played since May and these are what I still experience from time to time.

[Beloozero 118]

Not trying to be a dick but I would make that list starting from May, back when these things starting occurring.

[kmach1ne 15]

When I refer to (As of 7/23/12) it means everything I've experienced up to that date. Although there are more bugs that I may or may not have noticed and just haven't thought of them yet. That's where you guys come in.

Plus why would it matter if it happened in May or yesterday? It's still occurring so it still needs fixed or tweaked.

I made this today, took me like an hour.

OP: these are all very common bugs that we have all seen, and even though I think you put this in the wrong forum, thank you for actually reporting the bugs.

Granted this is the wrong area but they just delete my thread in the Bug section since its not in the right format.

Common or not, I'd like to make a big list that we can add to. You could see that if you read the entire post.

And apparently they will never fix those bugs

How did I know they are all common bugs if i didn't read the whole post?

Hopefully a mod will make this thread sticky so people will stop making them.

Yes, it's a bit disappointing that bug reports do not actually get published. I can understand the need for some quality control, but you are effectively censoring the community by not adding new threads.

12. Today, a friend and I were playing a server at NWAF. A patch/update occurred while we were ingame and the server promptly rebooted. When we rejoined a server our bags were missing, primary + secondary weapons were gone and just a few items were left in both our inventories. We both died due to lack of weaponry while kitting out again. It then proceeded to happen 3 more times on another server. We spawned back to the original point each time but had none of the aforementioned kit that had been collected.
