Hourglassing everytime i start up the game

Hello there fellow DayZ survivors.

So a bit of a backstory i guess because i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the problem. Last night me and a friend were playing some DayZ and we ended up in an apartment complex I did the stupid thing of shooting a zombie because there was this alison backpack i wanted to pick up. As most of you probably figured out now every zombie in chernogorsk now went towards that apartment complex! We tried to shoot our way out but it did not end very well, my friend started bleeding heavily aswell as suffering a broken leg so we did what any 6 year old little girl would do we alt+f4 but just before i disconected a zombie drove me to the ground. When we joined up on a different server to bandage and bloodbag and all that good stuff i spawned with 12k blood for some reason (d/c with ~5k) but i also had an hourglass from getting knocked down on the last server i waited and waited (long ass hourglass..) and finally my character got up, i morphined just in case i had a broken leg (even though it didn't say that i did) and i took some painkillers to stop shaking and i thought that that was that (hehe). Every time i join a server now i'm met with a very long hourglass but when it's done loading my character is 100% fine... So i guess the question is does anyone know wth is up with this and is there any way for me to fix it? maybe dying will help?

Its called shock, if you leave the server with it, the next time you log in, you will be passed out for 5 minutes.

Well, you should die for alt+f4ing....

...but apart from that, you probably logged out with shock. If you log out with the white icon on your right hand side (not the leg one) you'll get a long unconcious timer when you log back in (5 minutes I think?). You're either logging out again with shock still active or your character has bugged due to logging out with shock. Not sure what you can do about it if it's the later, other than see if suiciding/respawning fixes it.

I let it load each time and then all is fine until i exit and re enter the game..U'm gonna try to have my friend give me an epipen and if that doesn't work i'll suicide :P.

I logged in and for some reason i died while waiting for the hourglass to tick down but nw i ran from elektro to chernogorsk and retrived my gear and now the problem is solved.

im having the same problem, have an hourglass everytime i log in and it never goes away, waited for 30 min once and it never even moved. its been like this since i bought the game last month logged in once (with hella dificulty i might add) died and respawned only to have an hourglass there that never goes away, basically ive never even had the chance to play this game from the second i bought it.
