Recommended Posts

So after rebooting my pc dayz uninstalled itself, i have to download it again,

do all my settings and key bindings get lost?

Shouldn't do, as it's never being deleted (not on ARMA anyway).

 

 

You find the configs here:

 

C:\User\MyUser\MyDocuments\DayZ Other Profiles

 

or something like that, it's from memory - it's definitely in your "My Documents" folder, though.

hello there

 

Steam sometimes looses games. I just tell it to reinstall to the location where it still resides and the reinstallation process take a minute or two.

Thanks both, my settings all stayed the same,  but my character got reset. Lost lots of good gear but i can live with it.

Hello there

 

Your character should not have been reset. Nothing is kept locally AFAIK except your kkeybinds/gfx settings etc.

I think the reset was due to the new patch being put into effect. Mine was reset as well, and my game did not have any sort of trouble.

I think it was due to the patch, cause i know the characters are saved on the hive.

If my game uninstalled on it's own I would start thinking about it...

Might it be a sing of something?

Hello there

 

 @Lone Survivor ahh ok. Its a bugger but.....Alpher I suppose.

 

@Gugolas My steam games after a patch often go missing. Its very irregular but It does happen to many folk. They are still "there" but the link connecting Steam to the game sometimes gets lost. It seems to happen more if you have other "steam game" directories. AFAIK its nothing sinister.

I've had the random uninstall of DayZ happen to me to and it had to have been because I had separate directories at the time (Steam on my system driveand the library on my storage) didn't realise it at the time though. You say it can happen to any games in your library, and at random?

Hello there

 

I had it happen often at one stage with Ro2 when I was a closed tester for "Rising Storm" as well as other games.

 

It usually happened after a Steam update.

 

It's not just a DAYZ issue.

 

It possibly might be an Hdd error / sign of fail, but dont quote me on that.
