Description

Hi, BIS!


I was hoping this would finally be fixed after update 2.22, as there were fixes related to the dead player's inventory, but my hopes were dashed once again.

This issue has been around in Arma 3 for a long time, and I see it ONLY on CDLC maps (Prarie Fire and Western Sahara), specifically, the dead player's rifles start jumping around. Please note: This probably occurs on all CDLC maps, but I don't have all CDLCs. I've never encountered these issues on other maps, even modded ones. These are likely CDLC-related issues.

Here's an examples:

this is V2.22

this is V2.20

This doesn't happen consistently, but it happens every time in certain areas of the map. I hope you'll finally fix this issue, as these CDLC maps are official and paid.

    The same for me. I only see this on Sefrou-Ramal terrain from Western Sahara CDLC (I have only this DLC), not on vanilla ones, nor on terrains from mods (for example, CUP Terrains).

    AFAIR, the bug appeared after WS 1.1(.x?) update was released -- somewhere at the end of 2022 or beginning of 2023.

    @schatten Unfortunately, I don’t remember when these bugs appeared or whether they were originally present on CDLC maps or not. I agree with you about the CUP maps. I’ve never encountered them there either.

    2.22 detects jumping and freezes the weapon, until.. it gets woken up by something else (like a vehicle driving nearby, a ragdoll flying close, or another physx object that might bump it).

    If multiple guns are jumping close together, they might wake eachother up

    Hello, dear @dedmen. As you can see in my videos, there are no passing vehicles. I've noticed that this has no bearing on this issue. I've noticed that the problem ONLY occurs on certain maps. I've seen it on one modded map and on CDLC maps, but I've never noticed it on vanilla maps. So it matters what map you play on first.
