When driving any car, if a zombie collides within the car but does not get ran over, the game crashes, not clientside, SERVER side...everyone gets kicked.
zombies should DIE when coming in contact with a moving car and should not be able to continue walking inside it NOR should be able to hit players within it...it should be a safe spot except from bullets.
Get in car, drive car into herd of zombies, if one gets in center of car without you killing it, game will freeze and everyone will get kicked from server and CRASH to desktop/force to restart client.
the ZOMBIE must be running into your car while you are driving and if they dont get ran over they will take multiple hits before you die like. ah-ah-ah-ah-ah , then the screen will freeze. players dont have to be in cars to crash, the servers players WILL crash.
Can confirm this bug. However in my experience all players within like 200m gets the error. My friend who was like around 300m away from the car did not get client crash, but the friend who was standing next to the car got it.
The infected which is on the roof at the moment, will slowly start "hovering" upwards in the air just before the crash. When the player who was driving the car at the moment logs back into the server, he will be catapulted into the air, fall down but survive (survived all 3 times this happen). A workaround for this at the moment is to get one player, which was not in the car at the moment, to move the car before the driver/passenger logs back in.
Hello Lithril and thank you for the report.
Can you please provide us with the files from the folder your servers -profiles= parameter directs to? As they contain crash logs which would help us in analysing the issue.

I confirm the existence of this bug. Happened 2 days ago while entering Vybor Industrial zone, I tried to run over the Z but he clipped/jumped on the hood and I got a hard freeze client, after 10 seconds the client crashed with no error messages. The server was still showing me in-game "Player count= 1". This happened on my private test server with 0 population. What files do you need Geez? I'm no DayZ server guru, where do I find these server profile parameters?
Hello MarZ07.
Do you know if the players get kicked from the server but the server still runs? Or does it also crash as Lithril has described?

Geez
Hello MaxTheSurvivor.
The parameter should be in the .bat file you are using to run the server https://forums.dayz.com/topic/239635-dayz-server-files-documentation/?tab=comments#comment-2396563
Hello everyone.
We have confirmed the issue now, so far our server has not crashed, however, we have confirmed the client crash which also led to other players on the server crashing.

Damn, I'm late to the party it seems. Sorry Geez, I'm running the server from Steam, didn't found a .bat, I checked the default profile path on the documentation page you sent me but I have no "DayZ Server" folder in "Documents". The best I could find is "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\DayZ Other Profiles\Server" that contains the files "profile.vars.DayZProfile", "Server.core.xml", "Server.dayz_preset_User.xml" and "Server_settings.DayZProfile". I think I should have .log files but as I'm a noob I'm probably looking in the wrong place. If you still need logs let me know where I can find them. Cheers
Hello again.
The issue has been fixed internally and will be fixed on Steam soon.

Geez
