Potential Bug: Toxic Zones with No Visual Effect
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,
Since the 1.28 update, several players on our server have reported invisible toxic zones. Players are taking damage or becoming contaminated in areas where dynamic gas is supposed to be present, but the gas itself is not visible.

I tried to reproduce the bug by spawning all the zones on the map, but I was never able to encounter a bugged zone. I'm having a hard time understanding where the issue could be coming from maybe a desync?

The gas zone configuration on our server is the same as in vanilla, and to my knowledge, no mods modify the gas system. Just in case, here are the mods currently active on the server:

Client mods:
-mod=@Dabs_Framework;@SPModdingCherna;@DayZ_Editor_Loader;@Survivor_Animations;@DayZ-Expansion-BaseBuilding;@DayZ-Expansion-Core;@DayZ-Expansion-Licensed;@DayZ-Expansion-Book;@Tactical_Flava;@GameLabs;@AnimatedDynamicHelicopters;@LoftDModGR_Clothes_Pack;@DayZ-Bicycle;@MBM_HondaCRF450R;@Vehicle_Shooting;@Breachingcharge;@Custom_Keycards;@WindstridesClothingPack;@Advanced_Weapon_Scopes;@Community-Online-Tools;@CF;

Server mods:

Also happening here, on a vanilla chernarus and a modded Livonia server.

Issue does not depend on client GPU and os, we ran into it with a windows client with Nvidia gpu and a Linux client with AMD GPU at the same time.

Same here. It’s been a few days we have the same problem on official vanilla. We ran into two gas zones with no visual gas. Just happened to me in Novy today, and last time was on the military zone on south Dubrovka. I recorded the event if necessary. Both times, it was a dynamic gas event we didn’t hear spawn, no gas bomb sound. When we hear the sound, the gas is always visible. Last one in Novy was interesting cause I heard the event, and I saw the gas first. I chose to wait for the gas to disappear and logged off my server. When I logged back 20 minutes later, no gas was visible anymore. I thought is was gone so I entered Novy and got sick immediately - playing on Xbox

Yes, I think it's something like that. It happened to me 5 or 6 times on the official server. I was in a car, entering a clear town, and then suddenly the mist appeared. I think that if you don't receive the data for the event starting, you don't see the mist — just like when you're too far during a bombing, or after disconnecting and reconnecting.

Yup same. The gas just appears suddenly when you enter the zone. I hope it will be solved soon cause that’s a pretty harsh bug 😂 or maybe keep that idea for a hardcore version idk since a lot of dangerous types of gas aren’t visible
