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

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.

can you please provide an update on this we are waiting for this to be resolved before playing together

Appreciate that Tobbs but he literalyl has about 5 secodns of "life" before he drowns.

not enough time to get out of the water unfortunately :(

i haven't heard from him for a couple of days i will try and get some feedback to see how far he got.

My friend was like hydrated and energized, he has done this for over 6 hours over the weekend(he said) and he is only just 'hungry'(green) however we are pretty confident this will work.

Cool.

So just to make things clearer for others. i have done a step by step breakdown of your resolution (correct me if i am wrong here)

1. Join a game
2. press "tab" if you can see inventory, just wait and wait....but check it every 30 mins or so
3. after being kicked for inactivity, join another
4. repeat steps 2-3
5. once you have joined the 3rd server (after being kicked twice)
6. keep checking "tab" every now and then until you no longer see inventory, and then check that you can "respawn" from "esc" menu.

im guessing the amount of times you may need to time out will vary from player to player, depending on the current amount of energy you have i.e it is going to take a guy who is energized and hydrated alot longer to starve out than a guy who is "hungry" more like 6 or 7 server timeouts rather than 2.
i would suggest to keep checking the inventory and like Heyreoo did notice a change in status effects to at least reassure you it is doing something.

if all this works i think Bohemia should hire Heyreoo as a bug fixer.!!!!

cheers bro, will definitely get my friend to test this.

i will post my results back here too for the rest of people with this issue,

thanks again.

Hi Heyreoo, so when the message "you are dead" displays, we need to just check if he can access his inventory, if so tab out wait about half hour and check again, will it still say "you are dead" but then allow you to use the respawn option?

please clarify if i will be reproducing the steps correctly, and also thanks for sharing this.

Also, i know OP said he had broken bones.

i can confirm this also happens without broken bones.

thanks

@Accolyte,

thanks for responding here.

I understand you are working on a fix, that's awesome!

However, i'm pushing my luck a bit here, but nothing to lose really,
is there any chance of a database reset for my buddy?

Feel free to contact me via the email address tied to this account.

Many Thanks

@R834

Awesome dude!,

thanks alot for your efforts with this man, sorry to be pushy but my friend literally had the game 4 hours and this happened, you can imagine his frustration, he is nagging me all the time and sometimes i just lose it and come here raging,

my apologies and again thanks for your attention with this.

That's fine R834, i understand you are trying to help, and i really appreciate it, but why cant you guys just reset his character?

its almost as if you guys are embarrassed to admit it is a bug you can't resolve long-term, the game is in alpha, its going to be bugged.

My friend has been out of action for over 3 weeks now, it isn't fair on him, nor me for having to keep chasing it up for him.

can you PM me or anything so we can arrange this database reset.

i'm sorry if i sound patronizing or anything I'm just super annoyed about how this has been handled by you guys.

you are our only means of hope

R834,
since you closed my ticket as a duplicate, i will post my views here as they may get more attention.
As a previous server admin on the mod, i know for a fact that the only viable fix for this bug is a database reset on the effected person's character.

as heyreoo quite rightly said the "respawn" button is greyed out, the only way this will be available is if you manage to find the original server it happened to you on, which is highly unlikely and will take a lot of trial and error to find manually.

i don't mean to tell you your job but i don't know how else i can say it, this bug cannot be resolved by anything other than a character reset.

please listen to me, i'm not talking nonsense.

if you don't that's fair enough but as you can see a few people have this issue and none of the suggestions work.

@R834, no probs dude, i understand that, but what is the point of this tracker if you mods arnt letting the Devs know what is wrong.

the devs have bigger things to worry about than a small handful of players not being able to play but there's been close to 20 related incidents tied to this one ticket.

the obvious solution's just arnt working.

do you guys not have any one to report things to, or is it just mere remote troubleshooting you guys do?
