dricht1 28 Posted February 7, 2014 What made you think this would be any different from any of the previous updates? There are hundreds of servers run by various companies across multiple continents connecting to the public hive. Every time an update hits they take a little while to reconnect properly. Does it really need a thread every single time? Particularly when it's invariably answered in the dev tracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas 5195 Posted February 7, 2014 Dean Hall @rocket2guns 47mServers were pointing to the wrong database.... Don't worry, characters are fine, we're restarting the system with correct db connections 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victusmortuus 1074 Posted February 7, 2014 I don't mind dying, but to be wiped without warning sucks. I agree it does. However I genuinely don't mind being a new spawn in the alpha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
placiddream 9 Posted February 7, 2014 not sure if someone mentioned this but the other day the same thing happened to my character ...i tried a bunch of servers and nothing changed.. i was so pissed i turned the game off and came back hours later .. to my surprise i had my char. back... try not to loot or do anything that will make it save your new character. just log off and try it a while later. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted February 7, 2014 - If a server can't connect to the character database, you're not actually getting wiped. -If you can't load your character data, the game spawns a new character on the beach. -If you can't load your character data, join another server. -If you still can't load your character data, it's probably a problem with a character database. -If you disconnect, as soon as the character database comes online, you'll load you old character. -If you don't disconnect and the character database comes online, you probably overwrite your old data.

soulfirez 901 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) If you logged in while the server connection to hive was down and then tried multiple servers and each time you did you got the default start message i got some bad news for you there is a good chance you have wiped your character.. the more servers you tried the bigger the chance that one of these fresh starts will over write the hive when it comes back up if ya still playing frsh character during re connect..( exactly what i did when they had first hive maintenance) they warned with this patch that the hive would be down at 12gmt for for this. It was written at the top of this very forum... I wish you luck but be ready to loose your character hope it doesnt but like i say it happened to me and several other people i know during last maintenance.... Its not hard to restart though took me all of 2 hours to be basicly fully mil geared up (minus LRS which i havent found again in week lol although have found a pristine acog if anyone on a hardcore server wishes to swap for a worn or better LRS lol...

Its more the Unknown situation and all the questions and lack of answers I had first thing this morning, but after a few hours it was resolved. again, I don't mind starting over, I just wanted to be sure If I was going to have to or not.

Blades421 66 Posted February 7, 2014 you should be ok if you gave up trying before the hive re connected....I do wish there was steam warning of the hive being down to stop confussionyeah that would be awesome. my main menu showed me as a new spawn still but after waiting a few hours and logging into a server I was back to normal :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantasm (DayZ) 57 Posted February 7, 2014 No. when steam gives me a ''dayz update'' and it completes. I would assume its ready to go. is that so hard to believe? What you fail, completely, to understand, is that things are never 100% as expected post patch, even when a game is not in alpha or beta. So, to cry out like you have never experienced this in any game, while calling those who point out the very obvious, that unexpected things like this happen ALL the time in games, retarded.....is actually beyond hilarious and ironic. Don't worry, once you get past puberty and mature, with age comes some realistic expectations in life (and gaming). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
