Server down and i loose all my stuff

[dobledosis 0]

Hi guys, i'm new to DayZ Standalone.

Is this error common? I was in the police station near the new underground base and suddenly the server goes down, when im back i realized that i'm near the beach.

I was fully equipped, days of playing. To be honest i don't want to play again to loose my stuff like this if this is a common issue.

Thanks.

Wait about 5 min after the server restarts, and try to stick to a single server or small group of servers.

Some servers have trouble connecting to the database, if you join one of these youll get wiped.

Ok, thanks. Its been a nightmare since that happend. I've died 6 times by zombies and starving. Hours of playing wasted.  >:(

It happened to me on exp with fully geared character, alpha happens :)

Just don't stress yourself over it to much.

This happens a lot. You can also die from lag or falling through stairs and floors. Nothing you can do about it. Just try to not consider the time played "wasted" as the game isn't about the loot you have gathered but about what you experience while gathering that loot. Kinda like life.

If you are in a server and it restarts WAIT till the server time is updated don't just jump back in. The server hasn't had time to sync with the central hive(ever shut down Dayz and seen the sync message in steam?) it will reset you almost every time if you jump back in before it has time to sync. The servers that have SSD drives are good about not resetting your character. 

Heres how you get your character back. 

1) If you get Testing 1 2 3, log out the instant you see that . 

2) shut down the game and go in to steam and verify your game cache

3) When that is finished restart steam and 95% of the time you will get you character back. 

*** If you interact with the environment like get hit by a Zed or open a door and so on you will not get you character back ***

2nd

If you are joining a private shard server you will get that message every time, if its one that you have been on before you will still get that message because you are not logging in the the central hive. Join and see if you really did get reset or this the central hive message then report back.....
