Dead by interaction with cars
New, NormalPublic

Description

During the last few weeks since the launch of v1.05 I have been playing DayZ for approx. 80 hours. In that time I was killed by interaction with a car 5 times. You can imagine that it is really frustrating to be killed like that and lose all gear again and again. The interaction with the car was different most of the times it happened.

  • Getting in the car (happened twice)
  • Getting out of the car
  • Attaching a door on the car
  • Driving a car (3rd person)

During the above actions my screen went black without any warning or sound and the feared words You are dead appeared....totally out of the blue. I had to begin a a fresh spawn again. I have been using different cars (Ada, Olga and Gunter2) frequently to be able to travel the map more quickly. My trips consisted of traveling from loot point (mostly garages) to loot point. So I get in and out of cars a lot. In total I gathered around 8 working cars, so I had a lot of interaction with cars. I have not experienced this in v1.04. I play on Public/Veteran servers of gameservers.com.

For now I've stopped playing DayZ because this bug is totally disrupting my fun in playing the game. I hope you can fix it soon.

Interact with cars until you die. Seems random from my perspective.

I have tow more versions on how to die interacting with cars.

  1. Unload a Gunther door from the trunk of a Gunther within an airfield hangar, while sitting on the driver seat of a Gunther.
  2. Open a gate in front of a Gunther very close, so that the gate touches the Gunther. In my case it went through the front hood as far as the front wheels then enter the driver seat.

As before mentioned, the screen turns black immediately combined with a metal banging sound. Then it shows "You are dead".
