Ok... I've got a new one.
So I'm playing on a server. Have been for many days. It's still lacking in numbers but the battles are still fun. Just then... the whole of 10 minutes ago... I'm running just near Rad Town (middle of the mapish). No hostiles in sight. No Zeds lurking anywhere (where they can get me). Then all of a sudden I start taking damage. I pop a medkit. Keep taking damage. I'm not hungry, I can't hear any silenced shots, no zeds are hitting me from clipping into the terrain and I am sprinting but the damage seems pretty serious. Take more medkits and I make it around the barn and about halfway along it I just die. The tell-tale 'xxxx killed you with a shot to the wherever' does not appear. I get back there and the loot bag is gone.
Anyone got any ideas as to what happened?
Radiation?
Negative. Not even the hint of it. This was pretty rapid hit damage. Death, even with the medi-kits + food and weaving all over the place (at the time I thought I was being shot but could not hear any gunfire, even silenced) was within about 8 seconds of it starting and the damage was constant. I also continued to get a hit marker at a completely protected side when i got to the barn.
I *DID* run past a black zombie but I've done that many times before and even when alerted and sprinting, at best they do one hit and you're free. Even the Reds don't hit you if you keep sprinting on flat ground.
I really don't know what happened. Does anyone know if there is any kind of kill/damage command that an admin could use? I don't want to call it that as the server has been fun but from what I just experienced and have seen in a ridiculous number of hours of play, this kind of death has never happened.

Not possible. Admins can kick/ban but not kill.
Maybe a zombie clipping through walls ?
Thats cool to know then. I can't rule that out. I didn't want to think that was a cause but it was on my mind.
No to the zombie. It was open ground and, aside from the weaving, I was going forward and sprinting. Zeds don't hit you this often, even the reds.
Well I died once because a wolf attacked me, and the server lagged too hard. I received like 3 attacks and after that, couldn't stop the bleeding. Spammed bandages and medkits but nothing happened.
HAAAX
Players kann fall through the map... maybe Zeds can also and it attacked you from below?
You probably lagged or server lagged. In which case, your body stood still while it seemed like you were moving, thus the zombie attacking your lagging body and killing you.
EDIT: Happened to me because of lag.
Nah. The game was running fine. Medkits responded fine. Chat was fine. Really, I've played more than enough to get the game mechanics down and don't call hacks the instant I get gibbed from some unknown assailant. If it wasn't abnormal I wouldn't even bother mentioning it. This was just something that I cannot and still cannot explain happening in a 'regular' game.
There are sounds for zeds and animals and there are tactics for both. The spot... near the barn and rad-town there are no aggressive animals that go that far. I was not lagged. A zed would need multiple hits and me standing still, not sprinting full steam in an erratic zig zag forward. There are gunfire sounds which there were none of and nothing was glitching out as far as I could tell.
The thing is... you thought you were running, but that is just what you're seeing client side, until the server catches up and says no you're still over there, and you get teleported back. So it's still possible you or the server lagged out for a while, and you said it was only about 8 seconds.
I've seen the rubber banding. I've experienced it. There was no slow down and I HAVE experienced all manner of odd deaths that I can account for. I am an oooooooooooooooooold gamer.
I respawned instantly and had no trouble after it. The death and how it happened was very odd and though I do understand where you're all coming from... I am telling you this wasn't normal. I'm not actually blaming anything other than a game bug/hiccup at this stage though and when you throw into the mix the fact that I've also crashed rust for the first time ever in like 200+ hours twice in the one night (nothing on my end i assure you) I wouldn't be surprised that somethings not working right somewhere.

He wouldn't be able to see him getting hit if he was lagging, medkit wouldn't do effect neither.
It was lag and a zombie killed you ? Always happens to
