Hi, I have found a bug in DayZ where if the player raises and then lowers their weapon, sometimes the server thinks that it is still raised. I believe this is the case because when it occurs, the player will start jumping back half a meter or so each time they jog/crouch-run and while this bug is on my side, with my weapon lowered (according to my perspective), another player sees this player with their weapon raised. Since we know that you jog/crouch-run at a different speed with your weapon raised compared to it being lowered, I believe that this 'jumping' that the player experiences is because of the player thinking their weapon is lowered, moving faster whereas the server thinks it is raised, moving slower.
The bug happens very often (to me anyway)

Simply raise and lower your weapon a few times and it should happen. Raise and lower weapon a few times more and fixed. (Maybe higher ping to server makes it more likely to happen?)

Hello AidWil and thank you for the report.
We have confirmed the issue for melee weapons and it has been scheduled for a fix. Have you also encountered the issue with players wielding ranged weapons?
Regards,
Geez
Yes, I have. I actually realised it first while using ranged weapons. Also, not much evidence to back this up, but it seems as if the problem may be more persistent when the player has a higher ping to a server. Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
Aiden.
Thank you AidWil.
We will continue to test the issue internally and we will let you know here once we have some updates on the issue.

Geez
Hello AidWil.
" I believe this is the case because when it occurs, the player will start jumping back half a meter or so each time they jog/crouch-run " does this glitchy movement appear for the observer or does it occur when the bug occurs on your side?

Geez
Hi Geez.
This glitchy movement only appears on the player's side who is experiencing the bug. An observer will only see them moving at raised weapon movement speed.

AidWil.
