Vehicles wiped

[Frop 33]

Well, I noticed that my .RPT was exploding in size, probably due to a bugged out vehicle continuously taking damage. This was indeed the case, but after restarting the server the vehicles wouldn't appear. At first I thought this was just the server restart bug.

But alas, this wasn't the case. All the old vehicle IDs on my server seem to have been replaced by brand-spanking new vehicles ID! The chopper apparently hasn't even spawned yet. It looks like most of the old tents and other static objects are still there though, but that's just a slight consolation given how much effort me, my buddies and the other regulars have put into obtaining and maintaining vehicles.

Even though I'm quite sure this is one of those "unfortunate, but deal with it" moments - does anyone have a remote clue how to get our old vehicles back? Has anyone else experienced this recently?

Our server has beta 97448, playing with client 98220 (dayz 1.7.2.6) and all our vehicles disappeared with one server restart and has not reappeared after the following 6 restarts.

The vehicles disappeared just after midnight today (all times GMT+2 unless I am mistaken), and the following are the server restarts that were made:

10/27/2012 00:30:14

10/27/2012 00:18:48

10/27/2012 00:10:41

10/27/2012 00:07:06 <--- the other restarts only had some of the tents reappear, with vehicles missing

10/27/2012 00:02:29 <--- vehicles and tents disappeared after this server restart

What is a ".RPT" ?

We lost ours yesterday too. Two stop and starts and four restarts and still no vehicles... Checked a couple vehicle spawns and all vehicles had respawned :(. So we got started on gathering all over again.... With the glitches and hackers we have gotten use to losing vehicles every 7 days. Just happens we get a hacker everytime the heli spawns :(

Tents didnt disappear. Which saved us alittle...

DE 998 - Tents are still there with content. But all vehicles gone including helicopter. Found some vehicles on their estimated spawn-locations. Did like 15 restarts ..

We had a lot of stuff in there ... everything gone. -.-

What is a ".RPT" ?

The arma2oaserver.RPT file. Search for "Streaming" in this file (keep in mind it seems to get pruned each restart, I just make a backup every the server is restarted). My logfile used to look like this before the vehicles got reset.

After the wipe my logfile looked like this. It clearly shows that all the old vehicles IDs have been deleted and replaced by newer entries (coincidentally the exact same amount and composition of vehicles as before).

[fazmond 11]

The Question is WHY has this happened?

should i waste time gathring only to have this happen agian ?

[rareh3ro 0]

am i to understand that several people had this happen yesterday? i literally joined to ask about this. all my vehicles are gone since yesterday but my tents are still there. any body able to shed some light on this?

[eBBeL 3]

Preferable someone from that Mod-Team, if still a little part of it exists?

It happened to me on Friday. Today, vehicles found but Helicopter didnt spawn.

[Gooober 34]

Friday: Upgraded Server to 98220, AntiHax and BEC. Checked server everything good. Log off.

Saturday : Log in no vehicles but had tents. 2 Stop and Starts and 5 restarts still only tents.. Uninstalled 98220 and reinstalled 97448. Still only tents. After some running realized vehicles all respawned :( Had to restart the server after the afternoon scheduled restart for vehicles AND tents to appear.

Sunday : Vehicles and Tents reappeared after unscheduled restarts.

Monday : Received an email from a repeat player that they are leaving my server because his tents and vehicles are being eatin by the server :(

[NonovUrbizniz (DayZ) 137]

Don't the official DayZ servers reset vehicles monthly?

Tents should remain and vehicles return to spawn points. That's what happened on our server.
