I also think the actual behavior is useful. And I usually seek for a safe location before logout. However it happened to me that there were some unexpected zombies after reconnect. I got attacked several times before I could defend myself.

I observed yesterday that my friend joined the game while he still saw the "Waiting" screen for one minute. In case he joined alone without my support, he would have been dead :(

Playing is very dangerous because of lag, unresponsiveness and frequent disconnects. You cannot protect yourself even against zombies.

I have the same issue 30 seconds after connecting to a server. The problem started after the last server update. I tried already to validate my configuration but no problems where found and I update battle eye without success. Very annoying, I cannot play anymore.

Problem seems to be similar to 0002741.

Same here. Problem started after the new version 43 roll out.

Reinstall does not solve the issue. I cannot play anymore.
