Character Reset

[Cablenator 0]

Hi guys. 

I've literally just been playing DayZ with my friends. We always play on the same server, the server has just reset so we all logged out next to each other as we're travelling together. I logged back in just before they did, and for some reason I am now on the other side of the map with no stuff! They logged in and they were still in the same place where we logged out with their stuff. I tried re-logging three times but it hasn't worked? So now I'm on the other side of the map from my friends, I have no gear, and we had just spent an hour travelling from where I am now... Does anyone know why my character has been reset?

Thanks for reading,
Cablenator

You should try a different server, I've seen this before with my friends, for what ever reason the server fails to connect to the hive to get your character, usually logging out and back in fixes it but you've done that already.

If you've moved, spent time looting or what ever then the chances are the server finally connected to the hive and your new spawn was saved over your old

character

Thanks guys, 
I've tried a new server that hasn't worked, I'm just in a completely new area  again. Also, when the game is loading in (says DayZ on the screen etc) while joining a server, I now have a black border around the art work? Also in game, the message box where it says stuff like "you're thirsty" etc isn't in the bottom left corner now, its now more central than it should be. Anyone know why this has happened?

Yeah, I guess that the interface aspect ratio has reset itself somehow. It did so on a type of crash that I got in .47 and it looked pretty much like what you describe. Change it back before you join a server imo, 'cause it'll require the game to restart.

Arrrh ok thank you. I was trying to sort it out in game, so I'll do it out of the game and restart it quick :) Thanks!

When the server resets or goes down it will reset your character if you don't exit to main menu after logging out of the server.
Also if you forget and log in. DONT NOT MOVE the character.. simply log out go back to the menu where you can see your character and then go back to play. Your character should be back to normal. Else it will reset every time
 
Good luck survivor.
