Hello, we have a problem with multiplayer.

[elder reef]

When my friend and I are playing on our server, some zombie corpses disappear after being killed. After logging back into the server, the corpses that have disappeared appear as living zombies. A server without mods. We tried switching versions in steam, turning on UPnP, different hosts, even tried to use the phone as a modem, nothing helped!

[lean edge]

Does your friend get any port closed errors while joining the server? Are you the host or did you rent a dedicated server?

[elder reef]

There are no errors when logging in to the server. We tried to take turns being hosts.We have not tried to rent a server, as we used to play about two years ago and there were no problems with the disappearance. And more information. When our characters are very close to each other, 60 to 80% of the zombies disappear. As soon as we run back to 100-150 cells, the zombies disappear in 10-20% of cases.

Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\%UserProfile%\Zomboid?

[lean edge]

Unfortunately, these do not seem to be the correct logs, as I cannot see any servers being hosted in these ones.
Can you instead share the logs.zip file? Since the file you sent is a Logs.rar file, which would not be the correct file

[elder reef]

Sorry for my mistake, I accidentally put them in rar and they are gone. I'll send the logs to you later, since there's no one to check with right now, a friend is sleeping.

and another find. When we use melee weapons, the zombies disappear, as I wrote above. When we fire firearms, the zombie corpses don't disappear.

I can upload a friend's logs if necessary.

[lean edge]

There seem to be some log errors in here, did you perhaps switch to version 42 at any point and then switch back? And what sort of ping does your friend have?

[elder reef]

That's right, when I was waiting for a friend, I was playing version 42 and there were a couple of errors. And then we switched to the latest version with the ability to play multiplayer. When he arrived, we took turns creating a server to record the logs. The ping in both cases did not exceed 20 ms.

Looking into the issue further, it looks like the zombie disappearing is a known bug at the moment that happens in some situations. Though it should only happen to "some" zombies

Are all of the zombies you kill disappearing? Or the majority of them?

Also, what happens when you kill them when your friend is not near?

[elder reef]

If we are with a friend next to each other, then 3 out of 5 and 2 out of 5 disappear in different ways. If it is far away, then 1 out of 10. Before disappearing, they fall, shake their legs and head and disappear. Actually, nothing else is happening.

[lean edge]

We will look into the issue further in that case, the issue will likely not be present in the next update.

and when is it possible to expect a solution to this problem?
