This is more than just a cosmetic problem - it breaks flag-based games and games that use a revive-system.

Voted, its a script and gamebreaker alright

Dead bodies need to stick around forever. I'm a big looter.

I can't say that I have seen this myself. So you are sure that it is default game behaviour, and not a body removal script in the mission?

If so, it needs to go!

[sbsmac 0]

Yes, absolutely not a body-removal script. It _may_ be related to the respawnDelay/type specified in description.ext (will do some testing later) but note that the same pbos which ran correctly under A2 are now showing this behaviour in OA :)

This has NEVER happened for me, I'm pretty sure it's a script used in the mission you played.

Unless this only happens in PVP missions, i haven't played a lot of those in Arrowhead yet.

No need to keep voting, it's marked 'in progress' with a target version etc.

Hurrah !! :-)

No offence, but if you don't know what you're talking about, best to keep quiet. "Absence of evidence != evidence of absence" and I know for a fact it's not one of the scripts because I wrote them all! :)

[Zipper5 74]

No, it's there. I have no scripts running in my own TDM that modify the deletion of bodies, and they still are removed as soon as the player respawns. It's in every MP mode.

[SPC.Spets 21]

its fixed already? because I played since almost the first day online and I dindt see dead bodies instantly dissapear in MP, well, I only played Domination, I little bit of Warfare and some coop missions

[sbsmac 0]

No, it's not fixed already (but hopefully soon). I suspect the bodies disappear after the delay specified by the respawnDelay of the mission which may be why it's not so obvious in some kinds of missions.

Excellent news - this seems to be fixed in the new beta :-) http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Even better news - looks like this is a client-side fix so you don't need to upgrade your server to see the benefits.
