My friend, Morshu, and I had the strangest thing happen yesterday. Along with our tents being looted or server eaten everything but a empty water bottle. We experienced the oddest thing. Now we both have had the bug of being killed and respawning out on the shore again, our fair share of spawning in debug land and what not with no gear. ***This time it was different. I logged on right inside our camp beside the tent. I was missing my: Range Finder, Night Vision, L85A2 as Primary, M9 Offhand, My 24 slot backpack with enough medical supplies, and cooked meat to run a few days, My entire Tool Belt that had everything BUT a radio. The very odd thing about it was my inventory still had my 3 STANAG Mags, Painkillers, Morphine, Epi-Pin, Cooked meat, and full water bottle. I still had my 4 Bandages, and 4 M9 Mags aswell. Like a Taunt. Morshu then logged on to check the tent just to make sure it wasnt my game messing up. Indeed the Tent had been tampered with so while I did some suicide mission to get some items back, he went off to find a new camp. At most a hour went by while trying to set up a new tent area / scouting if anyone else's maybe around. He had a sudden crash that was client side. As he entered the game he realized that the same exact thing had happened to him. His range finders, his night vision, the tent he had in his backpack etc. etc. etc. All but his inventory and bandage/side arm ammo slots. It Spawned him a little further away from where he had crashed.

Well maybe it was a theory. Im not exactly sure the extent of the engines capability, but that seems to be the leading trend on why servers go through such frequent resets. It could be that the game is still alpha and the bugs in the system code just messes up as it goes and it eventually builds up. Iv seen some patrol zombies just stand in place. You can walk strait up to them and all they do is look at you, not attack or nothing. I believe they will fix it soon. on a positive note, they are almost at 1 million unique players.

Something similar happened to me yesterday. I respawned after being beat to death by a zombie that got a lucky hit and broke my bones, and found a big Jeep on my way back up. I gathered my stuff and then started gathering supplies needed to fix it. By myself I found 2 Jerry cans, fuel parts, scrap metal, windows, 3 tires, and I spent 3 hours looking for a engine parts. All in all I took about 7 hours to gather everything but the engine. I found a tent and I saved it in the Jeep. Went through 2 server resets, then the server started to have problems. ping went from 50 to 400 and i kept getting kicked. Well I was the only one on the server, and after 4 hours of not being able to play on the server it had a hard reboot. Came back and my day was wasted. Iv read it has to do with the engine. Arma2 has an engine that isnt supportive of being a server on the same map more than 4 hours.

I got one from a deer stand yesterday.
