sarkasm0 109 Posted August 3, 2012 Hello, This is my Tragicomic story.., I was getting items happily from the military tents in stary sobor when suddenly i got teleported to some water, I was like "goddamn, ok, no problem, I only have to run all the way up" but while Im going north I notice there is a shore, and it is then when I realize Im the freaking skalisty island...I have no way to get back and I dont know if swimming back is safe, since items may drop to the bottom of the water...If anyone could lend me a hand it would be much appreciated...PS: F****ing hackers... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irenicus (DayZ) 289 Posted August 3, 2012 Lol nah it's ok you can swim now without losing your gear. A lot of people go to that island now as a chopper often spawns there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abruz 12 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) If you were teleported into water to begin with then surely that server doesn't have an issue with making you drop items if you didn't lose them? Edited August 3, 2012 by Abruzzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas 5195 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) [94001] Fixed: "enableItemsDropping = 0;" now even for MP clients[93958] New: Dropping items while swimming can be disabled with "enableItemsDropping = 0;" in description.extTo test if your server has it disabled itemdrop, goto beach drop backpack, rifle, main inventory, binoculars, nvgs, range finder. You don't have to drop handgun, gunbelt or toolbelt, you never loses these even itemdrop is still enabled on the server. Put one item, you're willing to lose in your main inventory and go for a swim, if it's there after 23 swimming strokes, 30 seconds(45-60 to be safe), you'll not lose your gear while swimming.
