There is a way to fix it if you start lagging, me and my friend's yesterday had the same issue, we had to close DayZ and start it once again [on steam] and it worked fine, after 'reset' we played for another 2h without any lag's/freeze's

Hello there,

Sorry for the delay answer but I was not at home for few days, just came back like an hour ago.

It was before the new 0.35 patch so maybe it's not working anymore I havent read patch notes for 0.35 yet but I will try myself when I got back from work I am at work atm can't test but the steps were like this:

1. Start game
2. Select server and remember name/add to fav ones
3. Play the game for 30 min+ to dodge respawning time after quickly discconecting [280s] or [70s] when you already playing for 30 min+ leave the server.
4. Quickly enter same server when loading text info shows "Ready" then disconnect and there you go

PS; IMPORTANT: To do so we needed two ppls, one dude 'doing' the clone and another one killing the clone because when you do step 4. and wanna log in back quickly you then get 280sec spawning time and your clone by that time dissapears until you log back - I hope you understand me :P

If it's possible let me know if you could reproduce this right now, if not I will try myself and do video for you !

Okay, great. I also forgot to add that you do not need to be full gear to do a 'copy' of yourself, you can copy even fresh character, but usually teams do like that one of them find full gear and they 'copy' for their friends, sometimes I also seen 3-5 bodies in houses where ppls copied themselves for 'just in case when they die they will have full gear again. etc'

I am happy this issue is being looked into and thats no problem I am glad I could help a little, I love dayz and I would like to help you as much as possible because its a great game!

Hello there,

Well I've read some patch notes and I saw you added log in que after leaving a server to prevent cloning but unfortunately it is still possible, you just need to wait the que penatly to be gone and then you can make clone like before (me and my friends just tested this yesterday and we were able to make a clone with full gear)

I've even seen a post from Accolyte saying it has been fixed but not really, contact me if you need more info about cloning

Did someone saw my post? I wanna be sure you know it's still possible to clone even you did que/respawn time
