Respawning to a Previous Saved State

[Magnet (DayZ) 211]

Date/Time:

Several times over the past 2-3 hours.

What happened:

Twice so far I've died and reverted to a previously saved state of my character.

Where you were:

Anywhere, then a bush in Bor.

What you were doing:

Losing (a.k.a. Dying and Re-spawning)

*Current installed version:

1.5.1

*Server(s) you were on:

Dallas 1

*Your system specs:

- Windows 7

- Intel i7-2600 3.7ghz

- 8GB whatever the latest RAM is

- Nvidia GeForce GTX560

- Plenty of HDD space

*Timeline of events before/after error:

- I go AFK in a bush near Bor.

- I return approximately 10 minutes later.

- Approximately 40 minutes later I die by Zombie.

- I back out to slot selection and pick a new slot.

- I spawn in the bush in the exact state I was when I had gone AFK.

- I wander off and continue playing.

- Approximately an hour later I die by Zombie.

- I back out to slot selection and pick a new slot.

- I spawn in the bush in the exact state I was when I had gone AFK.

Please see attached screenshot and pay attention to the Unsaved: true section of the debug monitor. Note, this does change back to false and do the regular cycle but I continue to re-spawn near Bor.

After further testing it appears as though no matter how I die, disconnect or reconnect on any server the issue persists...

UPDATE:

Ok... I've since been warped to the debug area, respawned applied 1.5.2. connected and BAM I'm where I was prior to being warped.

Glad I'm not a coder.

does the game save your progress? do you see "unsaved: false" at any time?

I've had this "problem". It's not really a problem more of a blessing.

If I'm killed I respawn back where I was with all my gear, and there is a duplicated body of mine that I can loot with all my gear too.

See:

So yes, when the bug was occurring it would still cycle every now and again. Regardless I was still ending up back at that one point.

Yep, but then I realised AFTER I posted the bug that even if I just disconnect and reconnect it will go back to the same save point. Pretty crap if say I've just traveled for a couple of hours and looted some gucci equipment etc.

Anyway, it's not occurring for me now since logging into a 1.5.2. server with 1.5.1. - getting warped to debug area - respawning a couple of times (trying to fix it) - applying 1.5.2. and rejoining at a point I disconnected from about 5 minutes from Bor (i.e. not the save point I had kept going back to). I haven't had any issues since.
