vprgtsr001 6 Posted December 7, 2014 So i came back to the game about 2 weeks ago from a few month break. One thing i noticed is some servers take a long time to load into. Googled it and searched forums and found a bunch of mixed responses. So i log into a server today, get stuck at the black "please wait" screen. Usually it sits there from anywhere between 5-60 seconds. Just now it was well over 5 minutes. I actually got up to get a drink and bio and it was still there when i came back down. I pressed escape and it dropped me to server list where i found another local server and joined. When i joined my toon had been wiped. I know for a fact i didnt die when i logged out last which was only about 30 minutes prior and 2, this is the second time its happened to me since i came back. Please tell me im not the only one with this issue and please tell me devs know about it and its being looked into... Its rather annoying playing for hours and collecting items that are becoming more and more rare just to have my toon wiped on a server login bug. I know there was a bug back several months ago that after you got into game there was another black please wait screen that would seldom hang and if you escaped out you would get wiped... this still around?

uncle evad 11 Posted December 7, 2014 Been an issue since .49...and yet to ever be fixed. But then again the game is in alpha so standard reoccurring bugs will happen. But hey you can always just post this in the Feedback section to get it noticed maybe one day it will be fixed. (sarcasm intensifies) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeefBacon 1185 Posted December 7, 2014 I get this a lot, usually when I lose connection to a server and then try joining another one (or that same one). Takes a couple of attempts, but it gets there eventually. Restarting DayZ helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Restarting DayZ helps. it was a fresh session of dayz so i dont think thats the issue. and i just built this pc and it was doing it on the old one too and this new one. doesnt seem to be pc side, server or hive imo.

wesley.billiaert2@telenet.be 18 Posted December 8, 2014 i am wondering what is causing the wait screen aswell, sometimes u enter a server immidiatly and sometimes u have the waiting screen, but i never have my char wiped from pressing escape when on a waiting screen, i must be lucky as do it quite allot.

TheFarm 158 Posted December 8, 2014 OP, i think you are joining servers that are in the process of restarting when this happens. Try to only connect to servers with some minutes ex 9:14, 11:28. Make sure it is past 5min. This never happens to me and i only play on servers that have been up awhile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
