My character fell to the ground in prone mode and I can't even crawl -- what happened?

Recommended Posts

I got attacked by a few zombies and now I'm at 661 BP. For awhile, the hourglass would come up and my character would spin around and fall down, but get up seconds later. Now, I've fallen and I can't get up.

I can't even move, either. All I can do is rotate my character 360 degrees to look around me, but I can't crawl in any direction. I'm stuck in prone, in one spot.

Is this because of my low blood? I thought you could always at least crawl.. How can I turn that gun around and put a bullet in my head? Is there any way to suicide? If I quit and rejoin a different server will I be in the same predicament?

Don't know what to do

Switch weapons.

What does this do? Is it just a glitch? I am back up and moving around now, but I have no idea why. This happened before I read your post about switching weapons.

And yeah, no fractures. I don't have the bone symbol on my screen so I'm assuming that means I don't have any broken bones. As far as I know, I'm simply low on blood. My food and water and temp are all good.

Probably was just some kind of glitch. I've had a problem where I've been knocked out (hourglass symbol) and then when I wake up my guy continuously tries to move backwards no matter what I do, seems like something similar to that.

I'm not exactly sure. When you wake up from unconciousness sometimes it'll glitch out and your stuck prone. When you switch weapons it forces you to sit up. This seems to fix it.

Re-logging sometimes fixes it too.

If you have only one weapon, is your only option to relog? In other words, is it possible to "switch weapons" with only one weapon?

If you have a primary weapon, remove your flashlight from your toolbelt. Then switch to the flashlight with the mousewheel.

If you don't have a primary weapon then i guess your stuck.
