Because thats not a bug, when you die while being offline… If you log off, you can lose shelter and then die of hunger, thirst or temperature effects… The event log even tells you, why you died.
Maybe you can even get killed from orbs from NPCs.
You always log off naked or with spare temperature gear.
I still dont get it, why people are not learning from this problem? I lost my gear 1 time and since then I never log off with gear.
Even BEFORE I knew of this behavior. It was just logical thinking and not repeating the same thing twice and hoping for a different outcome…
I also have this strange falling/flying animation on login. At EUROPE official PvE server. Reconnect gets rid of this issue.
And I only have ~1 freeze/crash in a month and nothing bad happened there (ever).
