You are not understanding a few things. Saving vehicles only saves items stored within not repairs or placement. In dumbdate version 1.7.2.5 vehicles are vanishing upon server restart,this may be the cause of your problem. Or it could be that it was just stolen by someone in a legit or non legit way(teleporting ect). If you plan to save your hard work be sure to play on a 2.4 server,be sure to park the chopper in a non obvious place far away from tents and especially other vehicles as those are teleporter magnets. There are issues with chopper respawns as well. Choppers are respawning where they crash after server restarts. If you DC and crash,are shot down and crash then it will respawn where it goes down. If in an open field it can be flown off with a restart. If in the water: wait 7 days and go get it at the island. If in the woods: maybe clear trees with Ural/push chopper, if trees too big,wait 7 days,recover from the island. Oh and pray no one touches it for 7 days or the timer is reset for another 7 days.

***This big wall of text is going to be edited until it looks fine and doesn't scare people from reading*** ~~~ Introduction ~~~ After getting to the "End game gear" I began to think about how to make the game interesting/fun and not a simple deathmatch. Since there's already groups for medic assistance, transport and arms dealer I though that maybe a group of mercenaries could work too. Some friends and myself will be offering "military" help of almost any type to players as a method of giving some goals to the game. For now we are offering help on repairing vehicles (finding parts), escort/body guard and assassination - see description in "Tasks". This is made to give some goals to the actual "end game" and avoid unnecesary killing. We don't want this to be an excuse for being a bandit, so we offer "peacefull" missions too.

This is true. Getting out saves the vehicle location, while the 'save' command refers to the gear (which is just as buggy as tents - everything put in before 1.7.2.4 reloads, everything put in after said patch gets eaten). So, to answer OP's questions: Yes (saving is irrelevant, though) No No Sometimes, vehicles morph into other types after a restart, sometimes they fail to load and skip one restart, only to return again and ofc they might get stolen, while you were off. When you get out of a vehicle, it gets saved to that location, there's nothing else you can do about it.

You're welcome to join me some time if you play EU servers. I don't have a 1337 camp with duped AS50s and vehicles but I can show you the ropes... The only rule is that we don't shoot everything on sight, lol.

In-game Name: Rotten Steam name: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Rottenz Age: 24 The current time zone you're residing in(UTC): UTC−08:00. Mic: Had to order a new one should be here friday How long you've been playing: 4 weeks Your preferred role and/or weapon: Scavenger AKM, FN FAL AN/PVS-4 and SVD Camo Humanity(bandit/survivor/hero): Survivor because a random server reset it. Any additional details about yourself you may want to include: I've been scouting out clans although lately I've not been up to being in a clan I've found myself to be bored as hell. So out of all the clans I've seen recruiting this one seems pretty legit. I like to hear that people in the clan are nice and mature. My last clan lacked so many things especially leadership. For the most part I enjoy looting supplies and bringing em back to my camp, finding vehicles and fixing them up. I like to stay away from cities because my graphics card or network or something just makes me super laggy. My longest time living so far has been a week because I'm a bit too impatient to wait around and do nothing so I'll go on random long hikes and see what kind of trouble I can get into. At the moment I don't have a mic, but I do have one on the way from ebay hopefully It's not a terrible piece of crap because it looked really bad ass in the picture. I'm mature but random when bored but not annoying or repetitive and I don't need to ask a bunch of stupid questions to get the hang of the game as I've been playing for about a month now and It's easy enough to search up a tutorial or look at your controls to see what and how to do something. Other than that, I'm pretty open so any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks.

Go play in a server that uses 1.7.2.4 all vehicles and tents will save correctly still.

Because you can't save vehicles atm. They all reset. It sucks yeah, and apparently the current priority is adding dogs to the game, instead of fixing already existing stuff.

Well i guess you want to work on the new and exciting dayzgame, but leaving the mod this broken... :s Glitches from military corpses makes balota, berezino, NW airfield, green mountain and more unplayable. Tents doesnt save or bugs out.. Vehicles doesnt saves or bugs out.. The rest of the bugs i can live with but theese makes the game boring.. Cant you at least fix this so we can play the mod until the game launches? It already seems like the number of players are declining fast. //Melliz

there is a bug in 1.7.2.5 vehicles and tents not saving gear. you also cant remove the tents, even if you destroy it.

1.7.2.5: - No items are being saved in tent and vehicles post 1.7.2.4, everything is lost after server restart when placed in a new vehicle - No vehicle repairs are saved, everything is reset back to its prior state after server restart. - Items stolen from tent will be back after server restart - Vehicles do not save positions in post 1.7.2.4 patches These have made made persistent characters and worlds pointless. Have reverted back to ver. 1.7.2.4 on US 571 to see if the issue is the same.

The save not working for vehicles is pretty good IMO. Because the fact that everyone staches vehicles in the north is pretty lame... I doubt any of them use them anyway. This should allow more players to actually use vehicles. If only for a day...

Hording, plus the off-map cleanup doesn't doesn't work correctly: ppl are leaving vehicles off-map and they doesn't get removed.

Vehicles a server with 50 clan members is useless too me, and I already have all the gear I need personally, but I'm always down for a clean firefight.

No offense dude, but if people need a heads up about this, they've been living in a cave for the last couple months. Here's a quick list of what skript kiddies can do (in any combination) Server 'nuke' Player kill (select off a list and poof, they keel over with about a dozen wounds) ESP (brackets/markers around players/loot/zombies/vehicles) Teleportation (both via map and LOS) Noclip Item/vehicle spawning Transmutation (turn themselves/others into animals/zombies/whatever) Invisibility Insanely high Blood (poor-man's Godmode, can still be killed with a headshot) True Godmode Maphacks (viewing players/vehicles/zombies on map) Player teleportation Player gear modification (strip you of weapons, give you an AS50, whatever they like) Plus some creative application of those scripts. Spawn a thousand cows with parachutes and watch everyone stare in amazement as they lag out. Like deer in headlights for a teleport kill or whatever they want to do with you.

It's realistic IMO. At the first sign of infection, everyone with access to a vehicle hopped in and took off out of Chernarus quick smart. There are hardly any vehicles left now except for those which could not be started in a hurry due to being out of fuel or requiring mechanical work.

DE 1487: Tents save only the first time after setting up. Some vehicles save, some not. Bus was saved, atleast the position but not the gear i think.

My last 2 deaths have been due to glitches. Twice I logged in and immediately died while my buddies logging in beside me were fine. They recovered my gear and I continued play after trekking all the way up to recover it. There is no 'failure to survive' in that. I understand the idea and mechanic that you're looking for but a blatant 'lose all your tents upon death' won't work. Mostly because people will start storing everything in vehicles and use them as fullproof mobile tents. Also, you can destroy tents buy chucking a grenade, blowing up a jerry can, or (I believe) just hatcheting it.

I suggest that the contents of a tent bound to player get permanently wiped upon death because once people have several tents filled with gear scattered around the map, death and survival mean nothing which contradicts the entire point of the game. Death should not be so trivial, you can even run back to your corpse and loot it or have friends do it for you. At the very least give players a limit of 3 lives before there stuff get's wiped. This is also a balance issue, Teams and Clans on a server can have dozens of stashes filled with top gear all over a map. If a couple of friends happen to take a few of them out in a fight at cherno, 5 minutes later there back with the exact same gear, yet if the few friends were to die they start off with very limited stuff. This will be a big problem once the standalone is released and servers holding 100-200 people, you'll get teams and clans power abusing and taking over the bigger cities with no risk, hoarding all the vehicles etc It's already happening on a smaller scale. I've seen it happen in other games, where teams control vital resources , towns or even control the server until people stop playing on it. One MMO even died because the strongest guild on each server took over and everyone else quit and never came back. I doubt anything that extreme is likely to happen on Dayz but it's not impossible, ive seen clans controlling every single vehicle and locking down the airfield on a few servers.

I haven't really had any problems with that lately. My vehicles, on the other hand, are never there when I come back, so I stopped using them for storage.

Im running DE1951 and i see the same issues here.....vehicles spawning but not saving correctly ( tents, too ) After Serverrestart all vehicles despawned, tents empty and so aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah sometimes vehicles getting saved but transformed into a bike or whatever.....what should i doo exaclty?

The pregnancy: I understand the hive isn't saving tents/vehicles properly. I also understand that has something to do with me logging into games, dying, and getting transported to debug area out of no where. My question is, when is this problem going to be addressed? Dayz recently made Bohemia a shit ton of money, so where is the money going? So Arma 2 wasn't built to support this many players- but it does now, and we paid our money for it, so why do we suffer these inconveniences? Maybe I'm just frustrated after spending hours repairing vehicles, for them to be in shit condition at spawn point again at restart. Or spending hours running back to my corpse after being "killed" as soon as I log in, in the middle of no where, on a server with 2 people in it, and then running back to find my unlooted corpse. I have lot's of faith in this mod, and the game that will come out of it, but how much time does rocket really have until everyone's patience has run too thin? How can i believe the stand-alone will offer an anti hack system that works, when there's no proof they have one in the mod? What I really want is answers. I read the interviews, and keep a watchful eye on the forums, but what am i missing? I am no fan or hate boy, but from what i see, rocket is putting all of his apples in one basket. It seems that since the announcement of the stand-alone, there is no longer any support for the mod. The baby: Is there any official say on when the problem with the hive will be fixed? When the next update will be released? What am i missing here? I am only looking for information here, if you agree or disagree, I really don't care. The "It's in Alpha" argument is bogus. This is a mod on a completed game, there shouldn't be as many bugs as there are. Bohemia should support a game that is making them money. The "Just wait for stand-alone" statement means nothing to me. I am waiting, but there's no proof that these problems will be fixed in the stand-alone. If they can be, why not fix them in the mod? I'm just looking for answers, i don't care if there are threads similar to mine, none of them ask the same questions with the same words.

Yeah, I think they should get rid of tents and probably vehicle storage, or just have vehicles automatically respawn every 24 hours or something. You shouldn't be able to loot your own corpse either, your friends should have to pick up as much as they can carry and meet up with you later.

The Vehicles are spawning now. The server I am in I found a tractor and 2 trucks. I think they are back again. Found another truck in a different server.

So some other guys that we had an ongoing seperate teamspeak battle with over vehicles ended up leaving the server but beforehand they had found the first chopper they ended up crashing it with one our group in the chopper as proof (he was friends with both groups), since then they chopper hasnt respawned we checked every spawn point including the old ones... it has been well over a month and no sign of a helicopter, what the fuck is going on o.O all other vehicles respawn fine!

No more vehicles spawning on my server. I've already downgraded to 1.7.2.4 and saving/vehicle spawning worked until sunday. Since then there are no vehicles at all only a few tents. Most of the players that called my server a home left already. It's really frustating at the moment.
