occasionally when a server becomes full, it gets bogged down as we all know. It takes over a minute for an item you dropped to appear on the ground in front of you, or for a can to be opened in your inventory.

An issue I ran into last night while playing with two friends was much more frustrating than that.

A new spawn came into a house where me and my two friends spawned, I had an extra rifle I had just given my one friend, and this guy comes in and tries to punch him. I hit him twice with an axe, knocking him unconscious. a few seconds later, his body starts to spin in circles around the room face down. As if that was not enough, everything in my friend's inventory disappeared and ended up either on the floor, or in the rifle's case, on the back of the player i had just hit with an axe. I then tried to kill the glitching player but he logged off as soon as i tried to shoot him, taking half of my friend's inventory with him.

Keep in mind my friend's character was never incapacitated or anything. He was standing up and walking around without issue.

This says to me that when the server comes under stress, some strange things will occur..

This occurred right outside of Chernogorsk to the northeast, there is a road that follows the coastline, and comes to a T intersection right below the railroad track with a single house right above the T intersection. This is considered "Chyornaya Bay", and the whole series of events happened inside of that house i just described.
