Everytime my friend spawns in he is underwater
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

basically my friend fell off a pier near svetlo and he tried to swim back to land but the area of land wouldnt let him out of the water, like a invisible barrier or something, we assumed it was glitched as it let me walk past that point into the water but wouldnt let him ont he land, almost asif the land was above sealevel even though i could enter in and out of the water while standing (could be because he was swimming?) anyway due to this we just thought it was his PC so i got him to restart dayz. now heres the problem:

when he spawned back in he is standing underwater like halfway in the sand on the sea bed he cannot move or do anything he can vault but it goes no where just vaults on the spot after a few seconds he dies (you are dead message) but can still access his inventory ect, and when he logs out and joins a different server he is rolled back to being alive but still stuck in that same position underwater.

ive been down with a scoped mosin to try and kill him, no luck. he has reinstalled the game even though the data is all server based we thought wed cover all bases.

we tried to rename his character which is supposed to reset your character, no luck. we have also tried to locate the server he originally glicthed out on to attempt to "respawn" when dead as allthe toher servers do not give him the option and some one said to try the original server but we cannot find it.

i have spoken with moderators on teamspeak who advise the dont have the abilty to do character resets or roll-backs and advised me to try a few things (vault back to shore, rename character) but none of these solution seem to work.

he was fully geared but there is no point being there underwater so he ditched it all, we ask if you can reset his server character. we are happy to ditch all the equipment and his gear thats not a problem our problem is not being able to play a brilliant game together.

please help us out you are out last hope.

thank you,

i will await your response.

Additional Information

this is not my charcater it is a friends, i have contact with him regularly so any questions please ask.

as you can see in the below screenshots he first spawns in the water near the surface and then slowly sinks down to the position he is in the second screenshot, the slight fade is because he is dying, after maybe 4 seconds of sinking he hits the bottom, then another 5 later, he dies. the process loops and we cannot work this out we have exhausted every solution thrown at us ive posted on reddit - http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1y8hqr/dayz_standalone_help_needed_admindev_please_help/ had some suggestions but no admin/developer attention.

been on teamspeak with mods/admins who do not have the power to do resets, and they finally advised me to contact you guys.

I am experiencing the same problem. For some reason I can only move in the prone position, I swam to the island and can stand up, but once I try to move I flop back down into prone. I tried to swim back but ended up crawling under the water and drowning... Now I respawn in the middle of the water and can't swim or run to shore. I drown almost instantly

Yeah its the same thing happening to my friend, i hope someone sees this ticket.

if i get any response ill be sure to let you know dude.

Bump!

any one going to pick this up, its an easy quick fix, just asking for a database whipe.

please it has been over a week and nothing, you guys are useless

This has already been reported at #8560, so I will be closing this as duplicate.

Please add any further info to that report.

On another one of these threads, the following was posted as a solution. I haven't tried it myself so can't confirm it works, but definitely worth a go:

  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 unconcious" 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
