Incessant char resets

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I encountered a new problem with char resets. Now, litterally every single time I log in, I revert back to being a newspawn. Every single time. I can cope with the occasional char reset, but this is obviously gamebreaking. 
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I'm not joining regular instead of hardcore. I'm aware of 30 man and 40 man servers being in a different hive. I'm also aware that the odd server can be in yet another hive. I've looked through most of the topics on this and they're all just bickering about the occasional char reset, not the incessant one.

yea your post got my attention, my character would respawn without my acknowledgment. i would join a server and loose all my progress and be spawned in the middle of nowhere. I was going to post something about it in one of the official DayZ forums but then i read something about blacklisted servers being disconnected form the white listed hive. not sure if what i read is what acctually happened, sometimes its just desynce to blame for all the deaths.

same happened to me, we were 3 people on a server and went into ab building to switch server to our friends. as i logged out first and rejoined on the other server, i was the only one, who was a freshspawn.

Did you get the error message while logging in warning you of a character reset?

if you mean me, then no :) We all logged in within 5 Seconds together and logged out in about 10 seconds difference. No message or similar. But after i logged in on the new server i was suprised why i am a freshspawn and my mate told me then, that they saw my character instantly disapeared without the 30 seconds logout animation. and i was the only one who became fresh

No, nothing of the sort. Never a message, just the spawning as a bambi. It's on experimental btw.

Weird. Because I always get that when I get the classical chareacter wipe on experimental / regular (don't get it on hardcore)

 

It's a three line red message at the bottom left upon entering the "Please Wait..." screen that says something in the likes of

 

"WARNING Your character was unable to be loaded and will be replaced, please exit as soon as possible if you don't want your character to be overwritten."

 

I've noticed, however, that when this error message shows up, my actual character remains stored. The character that I play in the rounds where I get that error message are then wiped when the server crashes or restarts.

What I've noticed is that you die when you log out and go unconscious. It's a bit annoying how at this point you never know what happened to your char.
