Question. If you save your vehicle, then start driving and the server suddenly restarts, what happens to your vehicle? This recently happened and after rejoing 3-4 minutes later, I was on the road we were driving on, but our car was no where to be found. On a related note, can hackers restart a server through a script? I ask because (story time) at this time when we were driving, we were shot at but we just kept going through the town. Not 20 seconds later is when the restart happened (12:20 AM), which is a really odd time for a server to have a scheduled restart. My partner said he was seeing our car in a house on his screen and it was about 5-7 seconds after that I got the "no message received" and lost connection. I ask because I find it odd how someone takes shots at us, fails, and almost immediately, the server restarts. But really, what the hell happened to my car?!

My car. Blood, sweat, and gas into that thing. Sent about 2-3 hours finding parts and fixing up. It was in it's spawn spot, so it's mine. That was my other thought that it was an admin, but that is really really shitty. Like one or two steps above the scripters. You can't aim big guy, gg...lay.

I've only dc'd when a hacker has teleported in front of me. This was certainly a server restart as everyone was gone when I rejoined. I'll have to check where we started our trip...3k run now...hurtin'.

I'm guessing then our car will be somewhere in the middle of the road? I just found it odd the server restarts at 12:20 and the shooter had failed hard.

Can't you just go into the main game and create another profile? I had a woman character before (23 days, insta-server-wide killed by hacker...awesome and thanks dbag) and then created a new profile for current character (1 legit death, 13 hacker deaths).

hurtin' Run hard, run quick next time. Or just give it up.

Someone else told me it had to be a new tent, not a tent left over from 2.5. Haven't had a chance to test myself.

Still can't seem to find a clear answer on the tent and vehicle saving either for the 2.6 patch. Haven't had a chance to play myself yet.

Yeah, I reverted back to the old version and still have all my stuff and where I left off. Odd. I've been playing a long while, just mostly a forum lurker really. Thanks though.

Good call. If I revert back to the 1.7.2.4 version of DayZ, will I lose my character and all my stuff? If I'm supposed to lose it all, is it a bad sign that I didn't lose it all?

Does it have to be the DayZ version that has messed up the tent and vehicle saves? Could it be the ARMA version? I only ask because my DayZcommander has a new ARMA update for me: 96493/95.

So I can only save a tent once. What about after a server restart? Is it one save inbetween server restarts? It's basically then, put all your stuff in and don't use it again.
