Character not showing at home screen

[Problematic 71]

Hi,

 

I've had this problem for about 2 weeks now, maybe somewhat shorter; whenever I start up the game - I can't see my character or change the default clothes / gender / etc. The first week of alpha it was showing just fine.

I've already contributed this issue in the bugtracker (http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=6806) but was wondering if someone here has had the same bug and or maybe a possible fix?

I'm thinking about reïnstalling the game entirely, but is there any info to if that wipes your character or not? I know you can't get too attached, as I've lost countless characters to ladder/reset-bugs myself but would just like to avoid it when possible.

 

I've attached screenshots for clarification.

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

First it was like this: 

 

Then I personally thought deleting my local profile info (PLAYERNAME.vars.DayZProfile file in documents/Dayz) would help and it turned to this:

 

And this is my default character screen:

 

 

P.S. I can get on servers just fine, and, save from some lag/desync issues lately, also play just fine most of the time. So I know it's not that big of an issue but was just interested to find out if more people had this problem.

It's your name. Way to normal.

 

Try something like Uber1337H4xorm4st3r420BlazeIt360Qu1CKsC0p3R

 

You'll fit in with the general population of DayZ.

Hahah, will try that! Thanks. :P

 

Meh lost my character due to the ''Unable to load character. A new one has been created" bug agáin, fucking annoying. 

So I guess I'm free to reïnstall anyway! And after that wait until they fix the character reset issues. Can't keep one for over 2 nights playing without losing it :(

I have been having this problem as well, did anyone find a solution? I reinstalled and that didn't fix anything. Is also giving me random characters if I die rather than the one that I made as my default at the beginning. Want to start playing on an RP server but being an Asian lady isn't quite working into the story I am trying to make.

If you are using launch options; remove -world=empty and -noIntro. If not then ignore this post.
