Almost four days on new server (Dallas 2145) and no vehicles yet. Btw, where do we check what the instance ID is?

Could I get some clarification on how exactly tents / tent saving works? My friends tents seem to save correctly but mine don't. Vehicles save fine for me. What causes a tent to lose items, a server restart or the player logging out? Also, tents seem to save certain items but not others. I've lost some high end gear to these tents glitching and I'm just curious what exactly the problem is.

Ok.......... that being said 80% of the population are fat and out of shape. you shouldnt be able to haul your own ass around for 2 hrs................ Me... I work for a living and am 5' 7" and 200 lbs. Im a rock. I can lift 800lbs. IRL I would do fine hauling around that gear. AND I WOULD DO IT Becuase im also a mathmetician and a .50 calibre rifle allows me to reach out and touch ANYTHING (in a zombie survial situation.... you wont have many LAVs or Heli`s....) (and even they are pray for a .50) The .50 cal retains enough Kinetic Energy to penetrate armor at 2000 yards. So.... per say... If i set up on a HIGH position where I could see all coming and goign for 2000 yards... and set up proper fox holing and observation positions... started a survior group and taught other people to shoot like me (like I do for my group in game) I would and could haul it around. Your lil 7.62mm drops off around 1200m. Ontop of that the .50 BMG is one of the most prolific large calibre rounds in the world.. so all in all ya i would haul it around w all my gear.... just in a group or used in defensive positions on over watch letting OTHER PEOPLE gather food and water..... just so you know TBH idc how heavy somthing is if it allows me to take out vehicles and engage targets 1000M before they can engage me.

Many times we had the problem tents and vehicles were not loaded correctly and didn't appeared after a restart. Since we always lock it till the timeout runs out we never had that problem again. Ah wrong thread. sorry

same issue here, we haven't hit the 7 day mark but there is obviously something wrong, there are servers that were created the SAME day as ours which would be the 9th and I checked them and some of them had vehicles. Fuckin dayz team told our hoster "elpis host" the same wait 7 days bs. Rocket is so bad at this shit, fix one thing break 1,000 others.

This is starting to get old and on some servers its being used to cheat and create `loop hole - private servers` The issue in question is how low the server moderator should be allowed to set the max ping. From what ive read there is no official limit and have seen a few instances where this limit is set unreasonably low (60ms on one server) to allow the server admin and his buddies to do what they will (all they have to do is rent a server right next to them or one w good 'back-bone' lines (which is why sometimes you get 50ms on servers 1000 miles away) IE, 1. Farm without worry of PVP allowing them to stock pile huge amounts of advanced military gear (which isnt hard on public servers..............) 2. Stock as many vehicles as they would like and easily repair and refuel them making deaths negligible 3. Creates a situation where the value of their gear is low allowing them to take bigger risks than standard players (IE, by having tons of gear at camps that are say.... close to shore.... a person from a said private server / group could gear up, jump to another server and PVP taking excessive risks. Not caring if they die and when they do. They go back to their private server and jump in a vehicle on coast. drive up and re gear. drive back down and switch servers) THIS IS BAD FOR ALL LEGIT PLAYERS AND IS BASICALLY A SUBTLE GAME BREAKER. It is as bad or worse than cheating as its difficult to pinpoint and regulate WE NEED AN OFFICIAL WORD ON HOW LOW MAX PING SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE SET IMHO 200ms is good. I would leave this open to the general player base as a poll though........... TY

Just walk up the left side of the map, then cut across the top. You'll have about 17 vehicles in 2 hours.

Well just moved our camp from a server and have som spare vehicles on the old one. You can have them all for some weapons or such. Got 2 ATV, 1 Buss, 1 Mini van and 3 Tractors. Send me a PM if you want them. It's a Norway server.

I have updated all on my server and my client to 1.7.2.5 and have visited the NW Airfield and all seems fine to me. I really have not noticed anything about slower zeds but, their animations seem a little smoother. EDIT: Tents nor vehicles do not save at all. they will only keep the items i had before the update in them and that is it reverting back to 1.7.2.4

What vehicle do you want? You can move over to our server. We are a week old with just about all the vehicles around

Just to clarify...this thread is about vehicles not spawning on a new server...not about disappearing vehicles after a restart

so we're not alone... i'm playing on this server with some friends and yeah as it looks right now EVERYTHING saved is now gone.. no more tents no more vehicles weird thing is that right after the update only the vehicles were gone... now, one (or two?) restarts later tents have also vanished :sadpanda: P.S. Still i'd like to extend my gratitude to trinitygames for hosting this kickass server! Very fast and responsive and always up to date :) :edit Tents reappeared!

I somehow managed to find 3 vehicles (a GAZ, a tractor and an old bike in the sea near the shore)in 5 hours. :D Sadly one of them (A tractor inside a forest) blew up when I accidentally crashed a reeeally small tree and killed me on the spot. Lucky my buddy managed to save my gears so I'm OK with it (kudos to Chad for trying to save me, saved my gears and awesome driving). On the other hand, we (I mean my buddy, not me) managed to blow up an ATV we just repaired. One of my buddy (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named) accidentally flipped the ATV while driving it so we try to flip back the ATV by pushing it a little bit with our car. We bumped the ATV slowly and carefully with our car when suddenly... ...the ATV glitched and flew up into the sky and crashed into the ground before blew up into a fire ball. So there goes our hours-spend ATV and our loots inside... :rolleyes: p/s: On behalf of my buddy (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named), we would like to apologize about the ATV incident to our friend Painronamic. m(_ _)m

1.) Tons of different purposes, it depends on the clan. Typically there are a few central reasons. A team provides security, better gear, and easier accessibility to vehicles. Some also enjoy the idea of interacting with new people and forming relationships. 2.) You simply ask to join a clan or start your own. Survivor HQ is the place to be for clan recruitment ---> http://dayzmod.com/f...14-survivor-hq/ <--- 3.) Refer to 2

I have NEVER heard or seen such a thing. The only thing I know of that involves vehicles and tents on start is that every so often they won't load in due to a random magical error involving connection to the Hive. Nothing else involving players or mission starting affects this. No idea where you might have heard such a thing. The reason any one can legally lock their server is briefly on restart or shutdown for a total of 5 minutes to reduce/prevent flooding. "Before you start flaming, read what I have to say. Almost everyone knows, at least the server admins and hosters, tents and cars aren't loaded correctly after a restart, if players force the the server to start the mission, by clicking "okay"." That right there, just re-read that...and well..I have never heard that, or experienced it. Saying everyone knows something that ISN'T true is quite odd. It is absoultely not true. In fact my server just had a scheduled restart. I log in, hit okay, get the mission start screen where it shows the map. I'm not logged in as Admin. It starts up a hundred percent, a-okay. The only downside other than flooding when logging into a server too soon after restart is a chance to get stuck in perpetual loading.(not the same problem people are getting now)

My tents and vehicles are not there sometimes after a restart. I usually have to preform another restart and they all appear again.

My server does this all the time. If I do a 2nd restart after the scheduled one all the tents and vehicles come back.

Server restarted this morning and all tents/vehicles were gone. None have been spotted yet. DayZ - US1097 (1.7.2.5/95883) (Veteran|3D:ON|CH:ON) dayzmod.com - [GMT-8] - Derpville

Shut up and let the servers with 1.7.2.4 alone. If you know what I mean. WE HAVE NO MORE INFINITE AMMO, YOU CALL THAT COOL? THERE GOES MY WAY TO REACH 5K ZOMBIE KILLS, GRAH. Anyway it's a nice patch though, now for every items you put accidentally into a full container such as cars, tents, or your girlfriend's backpack, won't disappear just like that, it will have a chance to drop somewhere near you, and a bigger chance in outdoor space. And I appreciate it Jac. Anyone else up to give some of their fortune to keep our home runs 24/7? I SAID, ANYONE ELSE? Just kidding, Joe always can use some bucks for the server though, keep it going guys! :) Got YM? Added on Steam, we will talk soon. I feel bad for you guys. Pain, don't really put it on your mind, we will get another soon. Couldn't find you on Steam, you could add me though. It's chad_frisco. --- --- --- Nice hunt today guys, we got ourselves 3 vehicles. 1 was destroyed by a pine tree, the small one of course. And the other one had encountered a failure on its launch to the orbit. The vessel didn't make it out of the stratosphere and sent back to the hard asphalt of Chernogorsk's cold road.

That's happening due to database corruption. When we used to have a hive-connected server I had a UAZ for 2 weeks until it vanished. I found a GAZ not even 500 feet away, kept that for a few days until it vanished and I found a minivan in its place (at first I thought someone had driven up in the van and stolen the GAZ, but that didn't make any sense since I had it parked in the wilderness, and you can run faster than the GAZ offroad, while the minivan has a decent offroad speed) Unfortunatly when vehicles disappear altogether, they don't respawn. When we got rid of our hive-connected server we were down to 3 working vehicles; none had spawned in over seven days. This has been a problem for over a month, and since nothing was getting done about it we shut down our public server in favor of a private server that doesn't have database corruption issues.

Yeah, my tent disappeared, reappeared, thought everything was fine, put my stuff in it. Lo and behold today- gone again! And this goes for every other tent on the server and vehicle spawns. I know this because I staked out some other folks tents and vehicles at their spawn points to make sure it wasn't just me. This has been happening for 3 days and makes it so extremely difficult to play. Not to mention I switched backpacks and my old one and all of its contents disappeared into the ether today. I now have 0 medical supplies which is a royal PITA. I'm just glad it's not only me.

LeBanishedAngel Sniper 14 andersonspianoman (sorry) currently on 16 days instantly excellent in team maybe 2 hours if I want good equipment I will share if I have the excess supplies I am great at navigating, especially with vehicles. My team I am with now doesn't play that often and I want a second fun group. I have an coyote 26 slot backpack, m107, ghillie, all the tools, rangefinder, gps, nightvision, ect. Basically everything you can get in the game.

Slightly different problem here on UK205, vehicles are spawning, but totally random, i.e you save a ural at a camp, and after a restart it either changes to a bike / 4x4 truck, or disappears completely, same for all other vehicles, very frustrating and needs to be looked into, the persistent state of the game is also the core element of it, fix this before trying anything new !

Spent something like three hours chasing a vehicle. Found a V3S. Spent another 30 minutes driving it to our camp. Disconnected happy, posted it on our clan forum. Reconnected today: cheater teleported every vehicles to him. GG. I'm done with the game untill standalone.

ArmA 2 servers generally do all of the AI processing for the players. so a well optimized mission/AI routines and great CPU will help much much more than an SSD. Also, this guide causes awful desync in vehicles on a fresh startup with less than 10 players. did some tweaking and it's much better, although it's pretty much back to the way it was before.
