Jon Jony 0 Posted July 14, 2016 I found a big military tent but I can't pitch the tent on any place. Any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl 986 Posted July 14, 2016 look for more space, no brush, no (or only moderate) inclines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wili 156 Posted July 14, 2016 The terrain must be quite plain, you cannot pinch the tent on sloping terrain, I think you can pinch the little tent in sloping terrain as it is smaller, I'm not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Ensign 990 Posted July 14, 2016 the mil tent is the most hassle to place because you have to do it from your inventory screen (wish there was a hotkey). if it says you can't pitch it 'in a place like this', pick another area. if it says there isn't enough space, the location is good but you're too close to something - just move a bit and try again. you can move while in the inventory screen.

I tried to pitch the tent on a open field and it didn't worked. It doesn't say anything like "you can't pitch it in a place like this". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emuthreat 2837 Posted July 15, 2016 I had this issue last night on a 1pp server, haven't gone back to home server to test it yet. I was getting no feedback when trying to pitch the tent at all; and when I came upon already pitched tents, the entire inside was blowing up with prompts to pack the tents, but I could never get them to pack. I'll have to try again under different circumstances to determine if it was a server-related issue, or if it was related to a persistence hotfix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl 986 Posted July 15, 2016 Looks like they are deploying a fix on stable as we speak: https://twitter.com/dayzdevteam DayZ Development @dayzdevteam 1h1 hour ago Fixes in this update are for interaction with tents, barrels, garden plots. Experimental branch servers will remain online. ^SM 14 retweets 26 likes DayZ Development @dayzdevteam 1h1 hour ago Stable branch servers will be going offline for a couple of hours as we deploy a small update.
