This sort of thing happens when you sign up for early access or game preview games. They are STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. There will be crashes, server issues and loss of characters in most early access games. If you don't enjoy TESTING a game in early access, wait until they are done and finished. I have been in tons and tons of early access games, some great and some not so much... they all though have had characters reset, server issues, loss of save file after certain updates,etc..

5 weeks during beta it worked perfect, all our tents, vehicle, vehicle tent and basebuilding stuff was there after 5 weeks. So far in 1.0 it has been the same, 4-5 days and everything is there (military tent, 5 medium tents and 5 barrels). Try a different server is what I would do, i had bad luck on modded community servers but the last while me and a friend have been playing a ton on official server and our base during beta lasted a long time and so far our 1.0 one has everything in order. From what I gather some servers don't do backup saves very often? We also make sure that one of us interacts with each tent/barrel atleast every other day (so far on 1.0 every day we have done it).

5 days, no issues with our base/persistence. We are on an official server that does back ups. 4 medium tents, one big military tent, vehicle and 4 barrels. All still there. We try ti interact with them every day. Could be your server. Persistence worked great for us the 5 weeks of beta testing on our server and also these first 4-5 days of 1.0 no issues yet. Try an official server that saves backups more often and there shouldn't be an issue. Its def an issue but mostly in modded/community servers from my experience. Yet to have an issue on the official servers the last 5-6 weeks of beta and now 1.0. Even after restarts/resets of the server, all our stuff is still there (I have not had this kind of luck in modded servers though). We did have some funny bugs related to other things though yesterday lol.

Loving 1.0! Had a blast with an old friend yesterday, must have played 7 hours straight. Got a vehicle repaired and going, just had a blast all day/night. Keep up the good work! Really enjoying night time now to with the redish head torch at night so I can use my axe or gun while seeing where to go :) Other than the fps issues the first bit yesterday its been a great experience! I was honestly expecting more issues. I look forward to new content, mods and fixes in the new year, until then though go get some rest devs, you did well! Still a good amount of work to go, but its a great base for the devs and modders to work on now. As someone who played 1000+ hours of the mod and 600 hours of the early dayz standalone, I am having a real blast on DayZ again, most fun since the dayZ mod, except things run at a much higher fps now for me :) Here are a few pics of my adventures yesterday with my buddy! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1590384753 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1590385017 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1590384413

The devs said on twitter this update will also be a WIPE for everyone. It happens when games are in early access, get use to it or don't play till games are finished. "The update will be accompanied with a complete persistence (map) wipe to avoid further complications with leftover items."

Havn't had a reset yet with this patch, just play on hardcore servers.

Just wanted to say I LOVE the new sway, it can be perfected a bit but overall going in the right direction. I thought it would be super hard after the crying I saw, but I shot two bandits so far from pretty far distance. You just have to make sure not to run around a ton before and also take a few seconds break if needed from zooming in. I realy hope they keep this in or work on it and not take it out totally just because some people find it to 'hard'

I Love the new update! LOVE IT! Zombies are tough! Finally we have zombies in dayz that are not a pain in the backside! No longer super easy vs zombies, keep up the good work devs! Me and my buddies have had a blast with the new updaet! Its now not just PvP or just surviving, you have to fight vs the ai now! Love seeing groups of zombies running down a hill coming after us after we took out 5-6 of them. People who think its to hard need to go play the mod on servers with tons of cars,etc... or go play WarZ where the zombies are very weak and a non factor (as dayz has been until now).

Keep up the great work rocket! Loving the new update! For people who seem to have lsot there character, check on other servers (hardcore, normal,etc..) and if its still not one of those

I have plenty of great memories of dayz mod and of the standalone (700-800 hours in the mod about 150 so far in the standalone). To me if the threat of people shooting you was gone it would not be nearly as fun. Now do I kill every single person I see? No but I think the THREAT should always be there, one thing of love about this game. Some of them are me helping out other players by being a medic or just giving them stuff I know I can get quickly, Some of them working with a group of 5 or 6 friends and some of them solo on my own. Sometimes I shoot people if they pull there gun out at me or if I have seen them shoot others, but alot of the time I will communicate with them while staying hidden and seeing what they do from there to see if they might be a bandit or a good person. Sometimes I meet players like myself who like to help out and alot of time its bandits, which makes the game super fun to me. Weither I am working with a group of 5 or 6, on my own or what ever, I have had a blast. Yes the game is not done and far from perfect (No Early Alpha games are), but I can see it being even more fun once a ton of new stuff is added. Maybe something like ALTIS LIFE is more like what you are looking for? Check it out if you have ARMA3. I dont kill any fresh spawns and I usually only shoot if I feel threatened, but I still have a blast and a fun time knowing that there are bandits out there that will shoot right away, makes the game more intense. With so many games these days that are so dumbed down and childish so to speak, this dayz has been a breath for fresh air for me. Not since Ultima Online YEARS ago have I had this kind of fun for an online game with lots of other players and I feel one of the reasons is that both games it actually means something to die, you don't just lose a few exp or something you lose everything you had and must start over. I love the feeling that someone might be stalking me or about to jump me, gotta always be on guard. Mix in the fact that it is build around arma tactics/engines which I like as a fan of old slower tactical shooters like operation flashpoint, ARMA, the first ghost recon and the first few rainbow six games. I also loved learning this map in dayz, it is so beautiful and such a joy to explore and learn to a degree now that I know it aswell as my hometown lol. Anyways, just my two cents on why I love DayZ, maybe try playing with a bunch of friends? That way you have a better chance vs bandits and groups of bad guys? Maybe the game is just not for you, I might suggest Project Zomboid, State Of Decay and 7 days to die if you want a less in your face game than this, but still with scavenging, zombies,etc.. You cant really make a game fun for someone, maybe comeback later when more features are in the game and when its out of early alpha stage, or maybe try a game I listed above that are less cutthroat (all games I enjoy for different reasons than dayz). Maybe also you have just had bad luck, I have met probably 70% bandits and 30% survivors so far, there is some good people out there, maybe organize a game sometime with your friend and 2-3 more friends of yours and his.

Niiice! Keep up the good work Rocket and buy the team some beers :D I like that we will be getting a shotgun and the new areas! I can already see the youtube videos of people shooting others while they pick and eat berries lol. Funny thing is a few days ago I went down south in dayz to meet my cousin we start to head back up north and he says "Can we pick berries now? I swear there is more bushes now with what looks like berries" I said "Well in Altis Life on arma3 we can and it sure looks like these bushes have berries, who knows maybe rocket will add it soon" sure enough here come dem berries lol.

Nice work dude!

Great thread!

The sounds are not that great yet for the M4, but the Mosin sounds and handles fantastic. I dont mind the M4 for shooting but the sound definatly can be improved alot.

The red axe is the only melee weapon that feels good so far for the melee. Good start so far but definatly some room for improvement!
