Steps To Reproduce

Make a splint. Put it in hands. Raise hand. Throw splint.

Additional Information

I managed to reproduce this bug once on a near empty server I didn't want to try reproducing it more than once for obvious reasons. This is a very serious game breaking issue. As an admin of a server people automatically thinks it is me and my squad restarting the server when we die messing up our squad and server's reputation.

I had no luck reproducing this on a full server. However throwing splint does clearly have some weird thing about it, mine was just floating in the air after thrown, and sometimes froze my character for about 5 seconds.

I got suspicious when our server was reset 3-4 times in a row tonight and none of the admins were restarting the server. Once it happened just after we killed someone on a near full server. From watching the big dayz streamers today I've seen an awful amount of restarts just after they killed someone.

I think these people have squad mates who use the exploit every time one of their friends die often resulting in their characters being reset to before they died(since character state isn't being instantly updated). This exploit can also be used to respawn loot.

Tried to reproduce this on on the new updated stable version. It seems to be fixed as you can no longer throw splints at all they just get stuck mid air right in front of you.
