Bandit/Survivor model swap issues

[trauma.au 14]

I've had the well known issue of losing all my gear from my pack but there are two more issues.

First is that I did not swap back to survivor when I hit 1000 humanity again, worse still is that when it did finally swap at just shy of 1700 humanity it did so while I had around 30 zombies after me. Given that I was in this situation when the screen went to the requesting character data thing I disconnected to avoid being killed. (note: disconnect while model swapping is fine, I had to do it when I became a bandit because I had zombies on me then too and it worked out fine.)

Second, upon rejoin I was in the wilderness and under fire from another player stuck there. I disconnected again and went to another server, this time I rejoined in the ocean surrounded by other character also in the ocean.

So yea this was a pretty bad series of bugs to say the least.

Personally I'd like to see this system removed until the model can be swapped with out a black screen and wait time.

What happened: Model swap initiated at bad time, forced to disconnect.

Where you were: Farm house a few hundred meters SSW of Vybor.

What you were doing: I was herding a large group of zombies for a hand grenade kill, the hand grenade failed to go off. Seconds later the model swap initiated.

*Current installed version: 1.5.2

*Server(s) you were on: NZ server, then US 4.

*Your system specs: i5 2600k, 8gb ram, GTX560ti, X-Fi titanium pro.

*Timeline of events before/after error: Kiting larger pack of zombies from lopotino to a farm house.

After disconnect, I reconnected in the wilderness, changed server, reconnected in the ocean.

It seems that when you change between bandit and survivor you lose the contents of your backpack, this coupled with being forced to abort/reload makes for some really frustrating moments.
