Major Glitch on the ZUB Castle that EVERYONE should know about.

[VallKev_]

Today I was playing DayZ standalone with my friend for a bit and we were heading towards one of the many known vehicle spawn locations. On our way there we found a castle which is known as, "Zub". So we decided to check it out and once we reached the top of the main tower of the castle we hanged there for about a minute or so, and then suddenly I just see my friend drop and die. So he basically died from nothing at all, seemed like the game was mad and wanted to kill someone. He told me he died as soon as he hit tab to pick up an sks that was at the top of the castle. So seeing him die fully geared got me a bit mad. One of my other friends was coming into town with a v3s to help out. Once he is there with me I soon then die when I also hit the tab button to open the inventory (And we only died at the top of the tower no where else). So I was fully geared with some awesome rare loot got insanely mad and stopped playing. My friend told me that both our pants were ruined so I don't know if the game picks up as if we fell but the thing is our bodies stayed right where we were when we died. So you have been warned!

Actually everyone already knows about that top floors tend to kill you depending on your connection to the server and it's current performance.

Oh well glad everyone knows. Sorry for a waste of a post but just wanted to let people know. Wasn't really aware that everyone knew about it since it happened in a castle which I don't think many people go to.

I did not mean to make your post pointless, sorry if it looked like that. But it's one of the most well known bugs in DayZ SA for a long time.

But since we are on Steam, where many new guys show up everyday, I will explain once more.

This bug is tied to server performance / lag. What happens is that you go upstairs somewhere ( doesnt matter where, castle tower, ATC tower, Firestation tower, random civillian house with more than one floor ) and the server looses track of your characters position for the fracture of a second. So it will drop you to the ground on server side ( on your screen youre not moving because it happens to fast ). This will result in fall damage ( typical symptoms: broken legs, ruined pants, sore feet ) being dealt to your character, and eventually death.

A possible workaround is to vault whenever you go upstairs somewhere as this seems to force-update your characters position on the server, and to avoid unescessary animations on any floor above ground level ( going prone, eat / drink, reload ).

Also, play on low ping servers. Whenever your ping is higher than 100, avoid going upstairs anywhere.

Alright good to know, thanks.
