Hey Devs,
we have it each day that at least one of six player have a "take the weapon from your back"-Loop-Animation. Five players see the guy lying on the ground and one of us see him standing and has the animation. Here he is able to hit him.
The animation is not fixed on one special person.
Log in on a server
look at another player
Steam Version 11-07-14
Ok, this bug is more critical as I thought.
If another player connect to a server he is able to see a player with this bug. So for each(!) player how connects after you and comes near of you, you have to switch the weapon to the fire axt or it could be that the player can shot you as you would standing and take the weapon, also of you lie on the ground and your team made see you also lying.
Our group has noticed that this bugs occurs when we spawn at the same spot at the same time (or at least it seems so). We found that every member of the team sees some or none of the players in the bugged condition. Different players may see different people in the bugged.
In my experience, I've never seen a player external to our group showing this condition.
I have also not noticed a pattern. I usually play with 3 or more team mates and almost every session we encounter this loop. I have never ever noticed it, however, on another player (external to our group). We usually log in at the same time in one server when we start the session.
The bug does not appear to be a link between two players. Let's say we have players A, B and C. Upon logging it player A may say player B being in the loop whilst player C won't. In the same time player B will not see player A being in the loop, even though player A sees player B being in one.
So to sum up - it is a random occurrence in which in every player's screen different players are bugged with no apparent logical connection.
I have noticed that there is no set length of time that makes this bug disappear - it varies from several seconds to tens of minutes.
I have seen it on other players not in my group several times. Although I can not say for certain if that player was in my network bubble as I logged in. It could be, since it was at the NEAF and I only moved from the pub south of it to the hill northeast of it and then saw the player on the airfield, gliding and switching weapons constantly.
I don't know what happens if that player goes prone or crouches or aims. Should be tested!
Yeah we have this Problem every day since some Versions, but agree in 0.47 it is getting worse... EVery 5 Minutes one of my mates tells me to Switch my weapon becaus im glitching around.... Sometimes i have to tell them, but it i s Happening all the time... Very annoying Thing...
the report status is "New" but I always seen this in Dayz, I think even in the mod ... It's a feature. Your in-conscious know someone is lying there and this is why you see him flapping his arms trying to fly away :P
Joke aside, it is very annoying and unfair, and is network related more than animation looping itself,so might be hard to pin down for devs, if they ever assign anyone onto this... please Dev, I have some spare beans !
have seen it in .49 for sure.
if it is still active in .50 I do not know but since this issue here isn't even acknowledged I don't have high hopes..
Is this the considered primary report of said bug?
Thank you for all the info, guys.
I have decided to use the #415 ticket for this issue, please refer to it for further development information or to provide more details in the Note section.
Regards,
Andy
