Loading in to games dead, can't do anything.

[Payson 0]

Hello all. Today is my first time playing DayZ and I am having a little trouble. I was fooling around before trying to get used it and died. So I exited and tried to reload in to a new campaign or whatever. Now, no matter what server I join, as soon as it starts, I spawn dead with the big hourglass in the middle. I can't do anything, not even hit Escape to bring up the menu. I have to force quit the game. I've tried multiple times and have tried restarting my computer, but nothing. Can anyone help??

;) hourglass ,,, let the time go.

You can't even hit escape during hourglass though? And why would I be loading dead?

[mokum 8]

U are unconscious, not dead. Gif the hourglass the time.

And why u can not use Esc, its a way to block u that u can not sneak out,

the one that make you unconscious have on that still a chance to kill u.

Or woundend and unconscious,u see hourglass whit a chance to bleed to dead,

I've been sitting at this "unconscious" screen for over 5 minutes and the hour glass hasn't moved. There's something wrong. :-/

This is ridiculous. The only way to stop this is to wait it out and let the hourglass run down. I've had the game open for over 2 hours and it's only run out 1/4 of the way. So I'll be able to go in another 6 hours ...

This is after 3.5 hours.

Thats to long already, think if you are finich it will take about 9 hours that u can play again.

Well, it eventually sped up when I was completely starved and thirsty. But overall it took about 5 hours. That was ridiculous.

Nice to hear you can play again :thumbsup: ,, but total 5 hours to whait for play a game is a bit to long.

Sorry you had a bad experience, normally it should only be 10 minutes tops (which is still excessive, although if someone has an epi-pen they can bring you back instantly), it's a glitch or maybe some coma feature they forgot to tell us about.
