SageZ 13 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Can devs publish a freaking statement on this, obviously its on their end if this is happening to everyone out of nowhere? I have had this happen to me before but not 3 times in a row. The game is literary unplayable at this point since i cant change server or I lose all my shit.

wanji 6 Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah I've had similar issues, a fresh spawn whenever I switch servers or re-join a server.BTW, try and find a appropriate thread to post this to, if everyone posts their issues like this the forums get clogged up and the developers can't efficiently work through the problems.

MuchHigher 65 Posted January 4, 2014 Myself and a bunch of friends are currently trying to play. We are rubber banding like crazy and they keep losing their characters as well. There is a problem with the servers at the moment I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted January 4, 2014 I think the main hive is down, so when your client can't retrieve character date, you spawn as new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrvik 2409 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ucopo/is_day_z_being_laggy_today/cegqgza EDIT: Just pasting the comment here as well:"Probably shouldn't delete your character, but it might cause you to spawn in disconnected from the central hive. If the game server is unable to get a response from the central server to a player login before it times out, then it will simply carry on with a fresh character.I'll need to check, but its possible that this fresh character might overwrite your existing one in the DB, if the game server regains connection to the central server. I'll investigate some more and report back next week."

wgaf 251 Posted January 4, 2014 database down, this happened before. If you stay off until it comes back up, you shouldn't lose your stuff. If you're on when it comes back up, your old stats will be overwritten. That was our groups experience last time this happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 4, 2014 I've not had many issues with the character wipe until last night. Tried to play it and kept getting disconnected. Every time I spawned in on a server, whether I'd just been on it or not, I was having to start as a new spawn. I eventually just gave up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beelzebossi@hotmail.com 28 Posted January 4, 2014 I recommend playing in experimental servers with new patch. Of course those characters will get deleted, but official servers are almost unplayable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt_Slaughter 49 Posted January 4, 2014 Its an issue at the moment for a lot of people. I posted about this yesterday http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/161561-bug-game-unplayable/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakercompany86 347 Posted January 4, 2014 Some good info in this thread. I was wondering why I was reset 4 times last night. Is there a status page for the hive? Somewhere we can make sure it's up before inadvertently wiping our character? Or is there a news source I missed where they announce it's status? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somewhere we can make sure it's up before inadvertently wiping our character? Or is there a news source I missed where they announce it's status? Yeah, would be nice to know when it's safe to play.I realise you shouldn't get attached to your gear but when your character keeps getting wiped and you spend hours collecting the same gear, well, that no fun either.
