I was just getting started in generation zero and had acquired quite allot of loot. I had the shotgun a fully kited out hunting rifle and a few hand guns. I had completely explored the first island and was thoroughly enjoy the experience. I was trying to complete the challenge where you have to go to the first small town across the bridge. i looted the police car and was heading across, when it popped up on my screen: EXITING SERVER DOWNLOAD AREA. It the teleported me into the water. i was very annoyed as i couldn’t get back up. please fix this or tell me how to.
Invisible wall on the Bridge to Salthamn. On console we limit the playing area (and MP) to the first island during streaming install (play-go). Make sure your installation is complete (and not just the play-go marker). Backtrack to the farm (Stenhaga), then check if you can proceed. If that doesn’t work, try to restart your game.
If this still doesn’t work a workaround is to jump into the water on the left side of the bridge. This will spawn you on the opposite riverbank.
Another option is join a online players match and finish the bunker mission that unlocks it as a safe house then go into your game and you should be able to cross this glitch happened to me and this is what I did but if this did not work your probably only other option is create a new survivor
