This bug is still occurring every time I play in the newly released DayZ Stable 1.17 Update 1 (Version 1.17.154732).

Just to play devil's advocate:

First of all, thank you for the reply. I'm very glad to hear someone at Bohemia acknowledge the hand bug exists. It's also encouraging to hear that it has been narrowed down to a problem with desynchronization--that's something I hear a lot but I was trying to avoid assumptions in the ticket. I feel like the natural followup question anyone would have for you here is: if you acknowledge the bug exists, and all of the serious gamebreaking implications that necessarily follow from that, why have you changed the status of this ticket to Reviewed instead of Assigned? Is there a reason this known issue you are aware of is not scheduled for a fix in one of the upcoming updates? I am positive there are many people who would be grateful for anything else you can tell us. Thank you!

The hand bug still regularly occurs as described above across all possible hardware and software configurations in DayZ experimental 1.17 update 3 (version 1.16.154707) released April 6th 2022.
