I can now confirm that this work-around fixes the issue with not being able to die properly. It takes forever though:) My character was around 75% on food and water when I died, and I would guess that it took around 4 hours of waiting.

As will I. I'm home in a few hours and it will be the first thing I will try. I'm hoping so hard for this to work. Thanks for posting a possible solution to this problem.

A question though what is the time-out limit in DayZ Standalone?

Hi R834. Is there any way for us who have this bug(my case was 9410) to either contact the dev team or at least let them know that we have this problem? It's quite aggravating to not be able to play and at the same time know that it could be fixed with a simple DB character reset.
