Sometimes my character doesn't save and I come back as a freshspawn!

[PoW_BlackOPS4 0]

This happened to me for the first 2 days until I realized what the problem was.  If you keep your steam profile as "offline" or show as "offline to friends" it will not save your characters items to your profile.  

Make sure to keep your profile" online always" and you will be good to go.

I keep having a problem where I will randomly start as a new spawn after starting my game back up. Normally happens after a server goes down or I haven't played in an hour or so. Anybody else having this problem?

[MystoganXIX 78]

been having this problem all day buddy. Can't even build up gear anymore.

[DeceasedPath 21]

Yea kind of sucks. It's happened to me two times today so far.

I logged out because I was desyncing and came back into same server and found my guy wiped.

Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Topic speaks for itself. I attempted to log into a server, it took forever and went through a few different screens and then it eventually came up with a message saying something like;

 

"Your character could not be retrieved and has been reset. An administrator has been notified."

 

Then the next time I logged in I was on the coast - a fresh spawn. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Ya this is a relatively well documented bug. Lots of players experiencing character resets when logging on to server (including my self). Not really sure why it happens yet

[360Nation 60]

My character always resets :( say I am done for the day. I log, come back next day on a different server and bam, I am a fresh spawn.. :/ 

[Isaaq 72]

Yeah, happened a couple times to me on end-game characters.

 

Not a nice experience, but alpha - so, hey.

Recently happened to me and I had a British assault pack, mountain backpack, tons of food and water, 100 rounds of ammo for both my magnum and my m4a1 with a bayonet and a flash light attached to it. Seriously if your gonna reset characters tell them in advance

Tried relogging on the same server I was just on after it restarted and reset again.

[acid574 98]

Yep, same here. Getting gear is completely senseless right now, it will disappear after you exit the game. Tried it on lots of servers now, guess we gotta wait for a fix ASAP, because this is a pretty serious problem.

[TangoAlpha 39]

Well I think I'll hold off logging back in until a hotfix or something comes along to fix this. Don't want the past 4 hours of looting to go to waste because I logged out and logged back in.

Well I had a fully geared up, Mosin with a pristine sight, I've been reset and lost my balls and grown a pair of tits yes the operation was successful my toon is now a women.

[Dorner 9]

im not making a bug report. i dont have time for that shit.  Im just here to tell you....THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOG OUT....I AM A NEWSPAWN WHEN I LOG BACK ONTO A SERVER.  If I get d/c'd, or the server restarts, or if i just leave a server and join a different or same one...doesnt matter...my toon is NEVER saved.

 

Guess I wont bother playing till they address this.

 

OH and I almost forgot..sometimes I log into a fully geared, LOOT GOBLIN character that DIED about a WEEK AGO.....lol..serious issues here.

There's no end game in DayZ. It ends when you die.

 

 

But on to the topic. Keep in mind that you have to stay in the same hive. I played today, yesterday, tried the experimental servers, and I still hame my 15 days old character. Even switching between the experimental servers and back, kept both characters on the 2 seperate hives.
