Character wipes still happening?

[scull 11]

Yep nearly every time I play I die threw one of these bugs if not the logging black screen of death (because behind that black screen your being eaten by zombies ) or

 logging out in safe spots to find next time log on my characters been deleted .

Being killed by a desyncing player that's invisible on your screen.

LOL I really cant remember the last time I lost my character a legit way. 

This game is not worth playing anymore till  a few basics are fixed.

• killed while logout timer was running
• Wrong hive
• Wrong build
• Happens sometimes it seems.

 

 

And I.... want a wipe.

 

Why? Normally I play on experimental, I was gone for the weekend, logged in today (on stable since there is no exp atm), my char is still alive...but Senchi buried him under a rock formation O.o

 

 

 

And no, no vaulting, crawling w/e did help. My poor char survived that long just to die now...meh -.- And it will take hours since he is totally healthy...

 

 

Of all the scenarios I could have ever thought of to loose your guy in SA.....a new rock formation being dumped on his head never crossed my mind.....Its beyond unlucky lol

 

Can you not get a friend to shoot ya by making something show through like backpack or a foot?

Has anyone else expereinced character wipes when changing servers?

Literally just happened. I've been waiting for host for half an hour. Then the game informs me that my character has been wiped with a sys admin notified. What in the flying fuck? Please fix this... Absolutely unacceptable.

Epic Edit of Epicness: Notice it's been mentioned at least in the last two pages but just for clarity and the fact I'd already written it, well, SO WHAT I DIDN'T SAY IT FIRST .. >blinks blinks<

 

Me and my girlfriend have both have this happen every now and then, just having taken a break and log back in to find one of us is on the coast, so we googled it when it happen and came across the solution anyway..

 

Basically anytime you log into a server make a note of what it's server name is, and if you log out - and into a new one and your character has been wiped : close out of that server ASAP and return to the one you were on just before it. Your character will 99% of the time be restored. 

 

The 1% involves something only she has experienced which was a CTD that when logging back in she was on the shore, but on the same server she'd crashed on - so there was no retrieving her character. It was just gone, for whatever reason. Can't say it was from combat logging since she crashed right next to me on the second floor of a apartment building, and logged back in at shore; her body wasn't anywhere around.

 

This is all from the stable version, and when the 99% happens though rare itself - mostly happens when logging out of a server say for a bite to eat, or just a general eye-break so you can you know - blink - without risking death and then decide to click on another server; seems like the old server doesn't sync properly with the hive sometimes while your still in one play session. So we've taken to the habit of anytime we take breaks of only keeping 2 favorite servers, the one were on last and the one are going to go to if we're looking to join another friend or find a more populated or less populated server so we never lose track of where we were just in case.

Heres a theory i have, do you know that error when you see a zombie in the middle of the field just hitting nothing? That means someone logged out there, now in my understanding, thats how they fixed the desync lag/rubberband of .42, they made it that one side is predominant than the other, so every player is in sync, but the problem is, youre running, you see yourself running, everyone sees you running, but the server still sees you standing still, the zombies sees you standing still, so thats why you die or lose your gear... You think youre safe up the building, but what the server sees is you standing in the middle of the road 3 mins behind, thats why you sometimes just get hit, bleed then die... Even tho youre alone

Btw, this is an alpha.... Getting stuck is kinda part of the deal... Lol so i always carry a rotten fruit, just in case i get stuck, i can commit "suicide"

Character resets 3 times in one night? game is becoming a waste of time. Whenever i log and join THE SAME SERVER THE NEXT DAY i am reset. What is the point. And i know that i wasnt killed because the server was empty when i joined
