em0 10 Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah, this game is no fun if bodies disappear in like 20 seconds - 2 minutes. Honestly, if the bodies disappear then the loot stays then I will never touch this game again because that would mean they are probably never planning on making them stay longer. If you want a realistic military simulator then have the bodies stay for ATLEAST, AT THE VERY LEAST 20 minutes. At the most, not disappear until you leave and come back, that would be the way get rid of corpses. NOTE: I dont know if I put this in the right place or not.

jurrasstoil 10 Posted August 17, 2013 Maybe you should add what kind of map/mod/server/mode you are playing. Some mods/maps/servers lower the dead body timer to not bog down the server so much. Personally I haven't encountered one where the timer has been so low that I would have noticed it. I know quite a few A2 servers who do this tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em0 10 Posted August 17, 2013 Sorry, this is my first post. I am playing on Wasteland, Multiple servers, and I think the map name is Stratis I think. All the servers do this, and its really annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celery 8 Posted August 17, 2013 Automatic body removal is a fact of life in any multiplayer mission with respawning entities. If you raise the timer to 20 minutes, the server and every client machine needs to deal with 20 minutes' worth of dead bodies, and depending on the type of mission, it can amount to hundreds of bodies. Your issue is not with the game itself, but rather with how an individual mission is scripted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em0 10 Posted August 17, 2013 Oh well they can atleast do it how they did In Arma II. The bodies lasted for a good amount of Time.

jurrasstoil 10 Posted August 17, 2013 You'll have to talk to the guys who host the server and/or designed the mission/map/mod then. Like I said, I've played on quite a few servers and none had such a short dead body timer that I noticed it. I've played Dynamic Universal War System for example and even after 5 hours or so the bodies didn't disappear - and it showed, because my fps went from 40-60 (no bodies at all) down to 20-25 (~80 dead bodies).

RuecanOnRails 10 Posted August 17, 2013 Wasteland is a mission file/mod created by the community. It's not official in any capacity. Bohemia Interactive don't create, or host the community mods. Any changes, suggestions, or questions should be related to the group that made the mod; Or the server hosts which may have made their own changes to it. Arma 3 does not remove bodies. What's happening is a body cleanup script put in place by the mission creator to reduce lag on the already laggy mod. I'd recommend checking out different mods/mission files besides just wasteland.
