Horrible bug. Please help.

[RawrHunter 0]

Hello forums. I signed into a server today after staying up all night collecting items before my great trip north. I managed to scavenge up quite a bit of good items from cherno, then elektro while avoiding any bandits. I walked north into the woods from elektro and went to sleep. This morning I signed into a random server, and immediately fell to the ground, dead. I was pissed and assumed this was the work of a scriptor or whatever. However, I was even more pissed to discover that DayZ seems to think that my character is still alive. Everything is as if I'm still alive, except my character is lieing dead on the ground and I can't move/do anything. I've hopped to multiple servers hoping I would respawn as a new character or just stand up, but I keep spawning dead. Please help as I am unable to play now because I can't respawn because I'm still alive in some way, and I can't move because I'm dead.

Try respawning while on the "Setup Completed" screen, or have a friend come kill you,

-Never heard of that bug before, more information would be great

My friend has been "flung" into the air and killed many times, but always - dies... have someone come kill you i guess?

This has happened to me before. I was killed by seemingly nothing, and then when I rejoined the server I was dead but still had a free camera around my corpse. To fix it, I turn my settings as high as they go and run a Fraps video to bring my FPS down to about 3-6 - after that, press Escape and hit the respawn button as quickly as possible.

Is it showing that you're dead or just passed out? If its glitched and you keep dieing but aren't able to respawn just try and find a friend that came come over to where you spawned and just have them kill you.

It is at this time that I hate having a good computer xD My fps have never dropped below 50, even when using fraps.

Also, Once one of my friends get on I suppose I could get them to try to come find me. I'm kindof in the middle of nowhere. and yes, I have free use of my camera, and I can even loot my own backpack. I'm just staring at my own corpse and have the same options as if I were alive. My current plan is to leave it on in the background and allow my guy to starve to death.

xD Someone just came by and looted all of my stuff. I suppose getting killed isn't a possibility. Waiting to starve to death still.

You might just be hosed if you exited the game normally. I have no idea what exactly you did... the first half ('dying' on login) sounds familiar, the rest doesn't.

The correct course of action when you log in and die instantly is to touch NOTHING in-game and force-quit the game and re-load on another server. Usually you will be fine.

If not, repeat. If you're still dead, force quit during various parts of the loading process.

Once you do get loaded in, make sure you MOVE somewhere else before leaving that server. Some locations are for lack of a better word cursed and will kill you just about every time.
