Tents and persistence. Again

[BCBasher 2465]

Well I can tell you first hand, I put down a civi tent at about 1pm EST. Came back online (same server obviously) around 5pm EST and it was gone. It would seem civi tents are fairly common, I find one every couple of hours. I wouldn't suggest hanging on to the one you have unless you absolutely have space for it.

 

It's in my hunting backpack and I have no reason to play until I can set up a base camp. I'm healthy and geared, my end game is hamster runs and hoarding so I'll just wait.

 

It seems to be server to server so I have an improvised courier bag down to check in the morning and see where we're at.

I'm not familiar with the Czechoslovakian religious calendar nor their statutory work holidays.

 

I've got to say this isn't the first time someone's "broke my game" for a long weekend I've set aside to play and I should be used to it but it still hurts. :(

A cursory googling of Eastern Europe doesn't hurt anyone.

Same pretty much. Me and my squad had set up a camp with 3 tents and many gardens, in a very remote location. Logged in today and it was all gone. It's no wonder people don't trust tents when this keep happening. Gardens are more important now than ever.

Just letting everyone know that tent persistence is buggy,,,,I placed a military tent and loaded it up with various loot, while I was placing loot in it the server reset. Upon spawning back in the tent was gone along with everything in it, of course. If persistence is pushed then why do server owners still insist on these resets? Seems fishy to me. Furthermore if persistence is "real" now why do items disappear in the event of a server reset? And...I know about the "I understand" button no need to reiterate that over and over again.

Just 2 threads down another thread on tents and persistence http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/223506-tents-and-persistence-again/. I think people know but by all means add to that thread so its bumped to the top for people to notice it and be informed..

I think servers get restarted because they run better afterwards. Not just because of lower amount of players. My game also runs a lot better if i restart Dayz once every few hours. No idea why, it just does. Its not placebo. Maybe something with ram, I'm not sure.

 why do server owners still insist on these resets?

Server restarts are for more than just 'loot respawns'. Restarting a server keeps it from getting bogged up, clears up the virtual cache and all the other unneeded temporary files/info keeping the server running smooth otherwise after a day or so the server would basically be unplayable. (dependent on specific server because some may be better that others)

Yea i lost my first tent i ever found the other day. Had about 6 mp5 mag ( with a couple spare ammo boxes), tortilla backpack, smersh vest, press vest, and a stash of spare food/clothes :(  :(  :(  :(

[chokko 45]

hmm, after reporting tents not persisting earlier...

 

one tent another person has put down, and one i put down...both (civvy tents) just survived a server restart (private single server 'hive')

 

Restart was 17:00 Australian Eastern Time, 5APR2015

 

 

My two tents are still there, after 5 restarts now. Did they implement a fix?

 

if you're going to say you lost one...at least state when that was, so we can build up a picture of current state.

Can someone point out where they changed the alpha warning to say "all updates will be perfect, not have any bugs and won't interrupt gameplay"

Perfect contribution. Without people like you this forum would have perished.

 

Retards aside so far it looks as if private hive servers worked better as far as tents go, I'm still trying to find a public hive server that has actually working persistence though. Supposedly there are some that actually work.

It's a better contribution than whining on the forums.  We have a bug tracker for a reason.  Report and move on.

Ive had my tent on a private server for 48 hours.

Only thing that has vanished every login is my garden.

[BCBasher 2465]

Started a character on a a private server found a big military tent. It has lasted 2 restarts.

[trev186 389]

So where tents wiped again today? I had a few out on the ground and they are gone now 

[SFRGaming 718]

There's been a rumor where tents can randomly disappear

[therandomredstone 432]

 

 

Tents are not the best right now. They can disappear even if you are starting right at them.

 

When I log, I take all the items out of my tent and hide them under a tree.

 

Then I pack the tent and put it in my hands.

 

 

This may be extremely inconvenient but for the time being it is pretty necessary.

 

The next update should have Tents more "functional"

[chokko 45]

yawn, another thread on tents.

 

on me private server, i had some disappear shortly after 0.55 was released. Tents i have put down on saturday onward, are all still there with contents.

If you don't like it, don't read it mate.

 

None of the five tents I've put down in .55 have survived (the most recent one last night). The fact that they're all on public clan servers (which I suspect are regularly restarted for loot) might have something to do with it.

can't un-read what one would assume to be a contribution to the forum.

 

if you want forum spamming, go elsewhere "mate"

Can a server admin force a restart such that it deletes apparently persistent content such as tents and gardens? Last night I went to some pains building camps with both on public clan servers. Now all has disappeared. And these were in seriously out of the way places on the map.

It is a known glitch where tents will just miraculously disappear. It should be fixed in the next patch.

Perhaps the clue is in the title numbnuts. And in terms of contribution, lots of other seem to be interested and have things to say.

 

Jesus, the colonies have really gone downhill.
