FATAL GLITCH *STUCK IN THE SEA*
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

With the latest patch, version 0.35.115188 - I am still not able to play the game due to this fatal glitch. Been more than a week already.

In short, I am stuck in the sea and CAN'T respawn. Changing servers, it still remains the SAME. Spawning from the same place inside the sea and die after a few seconds by drowning, try to respawn but it's greyed out. So all I can do is exit the sever and go to another but I spawn with the SAME equipments and place and die again.

Stuck in the sea bottom and die > Go on another server > Spawning from the same place with the last equipments and die again > REPEAT. There is nothing I can do.

Tried server hopping hoping character reset many times, and even reinstalled DayZ but they didn't work. I understand this is still Alpah but this glitch is obviously FATAL, once you got in this you won't be able to play the game.

I suggest you dev team add "character reset" option which allows us to start game from completely 0 so people can get out these kind of glitches. I see some people in Steam community claming that they are unable to play because of the glitch.

And additional feedback, how zombies coming thru the closed doors or walls is very frustrating, I hope this gets fixed FIRST before adding more zombies. I always freak out when a zombie comes thru wall and attack me like they are invisible. I bet most of players would agree with this.

There's a report of this problem at #8560

Oh I didn't notice and he's in exactly same situation as me. I broke my bones and then went to the sea and then this happened. I didn't know we couldn't respawn with broken bones. I hope somebody kills me but it seems impossible since I'm at the sea bottom. We need "respawn" to work during broken bones

I wonder when it's going to be fixed.. but seems like I can't play until it's fixed.

Please vote up the original issue to increase visibility, and add any extra information in the notes section.

Try the following to respawn:

  1. Rename your character and restart the game
  2. Log in to a server
  3. When you get the "You are dead" or "You are unconscious" screen, open the pause menu and respawn
  4. The timer will start counting down from 30 seconds
  5. During this 30 second countdown quickly switch servers
