PC Survival - Unconscious Agents?

[quinch1199]

In Survival notifications of Unconscious Agents are on the map and I make a point of travelling to them... theory is that I can either help them, if I have a spare medkit, or steal their gear if I don't. 

Trouble is that when I get there....there's nothing. Marker is there but no body, no player, not even any loot to indicate he's dead and left.

Seems to only be when I'm playing solo as the few times I've been in a group the player has been there to revive. 

On the flip side I get loot from players who've died and left the session already. 

Anyone else got this issue? Is it network/server related?

I have no idea Quinch. This patch seems to have been a blessing or a curse depending who you are. My game either won't launch, giving me a Mike error or I get in and constant freezing. I would think it's my end but I sometimes have my doubts... Think I may be stuck either reinstalling or waiting for the next patch to see if it resolves. Sorry I'm not of much help this time around.

I get a Mike error each time I leave Survival .. so you're not alone. Delta errors trying to log in as well but I get in eventually. Hope it gets sorted for all of us soon!

Hmm, this does not sound promising for those of use waiting on PS4.  It took about a week to patch the PS4 issues with UG that were fixed on XB1/PC, could mean Survival won't be easily playable for all PS4 players until after the start of the year if we have to wait for a patch during the holidays.

I can help shed some light on this issue I actually go after those markers it's a GPS bug again sometimes the player is not where the marker actually show's you might have to check in area out from the spot and you will find it I have looted a lot of dead guy's and yes I am prod of it just can't let all that goodies go to waste rite I hope this help's

Ahhh...so its perhaps only a rough estimate of where they are? Darn GPS all out of whack! lol. I'll look harder next time.

Makes sense, isn't most GPS only accurate to within about 100 feet?  One could argue that military would be better, but there's also the issue of degraded communications in the DZ.

Yup, sounds like a perfectly plausible and realistic explanation for a poorly functioning in-game tool  :15_yum:

In all seriousness, I'll try to look around harder for downed agents in future.

I also found another little information sense I like running a lot in Survival Zone sometimes the down players have nothing on them so you get to a spot and it's empty or already pick clean by another player

Starting to work this out now. When it says “Unconscious” it also means … dead … even left the game. It marks the time into the match when someone dies and that’s it.

So, if I go to a point and no one and nothing is there it means:

Character dead, player has left the match AND they either had no droppable materials or another player has picked them up. The marker for them remains on the map the entire game it seems.
