Player bodies despawning

[jdz (DayZ) 238]

Anyone else been having this issue?

I've had a few intense fire fights lately but we've been having a problem with dead player bodies disappearing after 15 minutes

Depending on what server your on, the bodies do dissapear after a set amount of time. We have had firefights where no-one has been burying bodies and they still sink. This seems to be mainly on Vilayer servers altho it could be a game-wide update to help run servers more smoothly.

It would be funny though to turn off despawn of dead players/zombies altogether, but keep respawn on.

Cherno would be pretty crowded with dead bodies after a few days.
