SystemiK

I don't think duping is smart, I think it's lazy. On the other hand, I'm not gonna get my panties all in a wad over some people exploiting the current game mechanics either. The alpha is so broken at the moment that the game itself is duping items, in some cases even without user input. Until the devs have been able to lock down their mechanics, those systems can and will be exploited. At the end of the day, it's an ethical decision. Some will choose to dupe, and others will not, yet both sides of the coin are forced to live with each other until the devs themselves make the necessary changes. It's not an argument which can be won for either side, the best you can hope for here is to do what you do, in what ever way you see fit to do it, and wait to see in what ways the devs will change the game to suit their desired outcome. Arguing this issue is pointless, it's simply a waiting game.

I can confirm that extreme FPS issues can cause this issue. A buddy of mine was plagued with this problem on and off since he started playing the game. Once I gave him my old HD4870 (he had 9600gt before) and 600w power supply he never had the problem again.

Just a bump for good measure. I would really like to see something like this in standalone alpha.

Someone is already way ahead of you on this. I'll add a link to this post when I find it.... Here you go, thread is here: http://dayzmod.com/f...ntory-redesign/

No. Patch 1.7.2.4 is saving vehicles and tents normally (tents still have the usual dupe bug, meaning if you take something out and do not save the tent it will be back in there again after restart) vehicles are fine. If you are running patch 1.7.2.5 tents will not save their contents under most conditions and vehicles will always reset back to their spawn point after restart. For this reason alone I recommend running 1.7.2.4 and only playing on those servers. Also, on occasion, tents and vehicles will fail to load into the game after a server restart (this has been happening in all versions since the beginning) but they will be back after the next restart.

Server Admins can do the following. -start the server -stop the server -ban someone (with proof of hacking or for racism) -look at the server logs -change the server version -set the server difficulty and time -set the max ping Hackers can do everything you could possible imagine. Including teleporting to you, teleporting you to them, teleporting anywhere on the map, spawning you in the air to fall to your death, spawning the entire server into one location, insta-kill entire server, god mode, all items in the game and all items not in the game (arma 2 stuff), see everyone noted on their map, see all vehicles and tents noted on their map. So think about who you are really pissed off at before you go bad mouthing a server, and think about what an admin can do, versus what a punk ass kid with a few downloaded scripts can do...

Heh, my current goal is to wean myself away from this mod over the next few days and hopefully never play it again. My server will be shutting down tomorrow and probably gonna give Dark Souls a look. It's been great fun but 4+ months is more than enough time to spend with any alpha.

Your best bet may be to spawn back in and just wait till you starve to death. Just go do something else for awhile and leave your character logged in.

So a hacker ruined your day. Sucks. But why are you blaming this on the server admins? Hackers are everywhere...

Two things you need to know. 1. For a very long time now, vehicles and tents will randomly fail to spawn into the world after a server restart. They WILL be back on the next restart. I always go to one of my tents before restarting my server and if it did not respawn after the restart I do ANOTHER restart just to make sure that tents and vehicles are there for everyone. Apparently your admin does not verify this and thus you will have to wait for the next restart to have your stuff back. 2. Any server running patch 1.7.2.5 will reset all vehicles to their original spawn locations in a broken state at every restart. This is a bug and if you want your vehicles to stay where you put them you need to revert back to 1.7.2.4 and start playing on those servers. It really is as simple as that.

The way DayZ Commander works is that when you download a DayZ version it places the downloaded .RAR file in your @DayZ directory and leaves it there. When you tell Commander to roll back it simply deletes the current contents of your addons folder and then unzips the appropriate .RAR version back into your addons folder. Any DayZ versions (.RAR) you have downloaded with Commander will be sitting in the @DayZ folder and you can easily delete the Addons folder contents yourself and then just unzip the desired .RAR into addons manually. I suspect the reason for the 0% is that you already have the file sitting there in your directory. It may be just unzipping the file into addons.

There is a dayz commander forum which is monitored by it's developer (DotJosh). That is your best bet for resolving this. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dayzcommander

It's because you are playing on 1.7.2.5 and it is BROKEN. 1.7.2.4 is working just fine with regard to vehicles saving. Downgrade to 1.7.2.4 and play of one of those servers and you will be just fine. I still can't figure out why 90% of servers are running a hotfix which failed to fix the graphic glitches and subsequently broke vehicle and tent saving. My server will remain on 1.7.2.4 until 1.7.3 is released.

I'm pretty sure there is just the one spawn point.

A big problem with this forum is that people neglect to include version information in their posts (I've been guilty of this myself...). For the record, my server is handling tent / vehicle saving with no problems whatsoever ( 1.7.2.4 / Beta 95950). All previous beta versions have been saving vehicles / tents properly for me as well. 1.7.2.5 has introduced save issues regarding tents / vehicles, which is why I refuse to update to 1.7.2.5. Why further break the game by updating to a "hotfix" version which not only failed to fix the hotfix issues which it was meant to fix, but which introduced new game breaking problems as well? Am I missing something here? 1725 is broken. 1724 is quite a bit less broken....

Any 1.7.2.4 server is saving tents fine for me.

Keep in mind, you wont be buying a standalone GAME, you will be buying the right to play the standalone ALPHA. I think a lot of people are expecting to see a finished game this year....which isn't going to happen.

With the current ease of duping items in the game, everything is worthless. You are gonna have to find some other game to farm in trade for wow gold...

To be honest, I've gotten to the point that I'm much more interested in seeing what Rocket DOES, than hearing what rocket SAYS...

Why thank you for clearing that up. It was most appreciated...

I believe this means that your game client has lost communication with the server.

I get that. I only mentioned it in case anyone else reading the tread wanted to avoid having to post on the forums wondering where the hell their server is...

If you wouldn't mind a Dallas server you should try Elpis Host (see server forum for thread). In most cases they have the server online within an hour of placing the order.

The recent patch was supposed to make it so that if you get a debug forrest / ocean spawn, you just log out and then back in to be respawned on a beach with all your gear. Have you logged back into the game since you spawned in the ocean?

Pretty good thread here, most everything I wanted to add was already covered. Guess it comes down to this: Take everything Rocket says with a massive grain of salt. He means well, but his track record is a fair bit off from his actual statements.
