LORDPrometheus 21 Posted January 12, 2015 have you by chance been switching between public and private hives? this is likely you making a mistake not a true loss of the character Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted January 12, 2015 Search on "character reset", you'll find a lot of reading around it. There are issues, but typically if you log out immediately and log into the server you were just on previously you can fix it. Also a lot of people get confused logging into private hives or 1pp vs 3pp servers. Thus the biggest question is - do you know what you did exactly? What server were you on last and then what server you just tried and the differences between them? The answer is most likely there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted January 12, 2015 Im not changing servers. It happens when im on a server and it restarts then i go to join it again and my character just resets. You can't rejoin a server immediately. You have to wait a good five minutes. The server goes through a resetting cycle as it synchronizes with the hive. Most servers restart at 8:00. They then change to 9:20. After this, they will display whatever time the server admin has set. 7:00, 12:00, and 14:00 are fairly common. Rule of thumb: Wait until your server has cycled through 8:00 and 9:20 and has a couple of people playing on it. Let them be the guinea pigs. ;3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted January 12, 2015 Yeah im aware of this cycle, should of stated i do have 200+ hours haha. Im guessing this is just another Dayz bug? Yep. It's fairly new; within the last few months. Just don't rejoin immediately and you won't lose any more characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
