taking items from corpse fails
New, WishlistPublic

Description

My friend got run over by a V3S tonight. This silly man stud behind the truck and the fellow driving it didn't see him = Nominated for DayZ Darwin Award!

Anyway, we couldn't raid his corpse. Any object could be inspected but not taken. The menu entry for taking was missing and drag&drop didn't work either. After a while I recognized, that I could reload my own gun with the ammunition from the corpse. But the very moment I did this all sound of DayZ went off. Teamspeak worked flawless though. Breaking down ghili components worked too. Those parts lay on the ground after the corpse vanished.

After a logoff sound didn't come back on main screen. I needed to restart the whole game DayZ to get it back. Relogged to the same server afterwards.

Funny thing is, I needed to change my raincoat shortly after and found a Gorka jacket containing the corpse's stuff nearby. (Can't tell if the jacket appeared while changing or was already there.) Again handling was limited, I could regain most of the stuff by opening the tuna tin or splitting the ammunition but couldn't take contents or the jacket itself. Darwin-nominated being back again couldn't see the jacket at all. No other player was present to be asked about visibility.

Try to loot the corpse of a somehow killed player. - ehm, the character of the player not the player him- or herself of course! Menu entry to take items is missing.

A friend of mine told me, that the same problem happend to him. He shot a player with a Longhorn but couldn't take items from the corpse. Besides the trick to split ammunition he could exchange his rifle against the corpse's rifle. This happend in the new prison building. He didn't mention any sound problems.
