Prolonged maintenance

[Baty Alquawen 3688]

Survivors, maintenance is prolonged today, we need to make some time heavy operations on the database machine. We are aiming at the character issues in 0.62 again, so keep reporting the character wipes/changes. No ETA.

Good luck and good job on the operation.

Any ETA on this please? Six hours over regular time.

Thanks.

Had the BSoD last night, rebooted only to find steam not recognize my dayz files. Had to delete and reinstall, which will be an issue for people who have limited data on their plan (not me but still). Pretty annoying.

I can read thanks. Just wondering if there was an update - no need to be facetious.

The Stable servers are coming back online now.

To make sure we get rid of the issue for now, we moved all servers to a different database. As a consequence all of you will experience a character wipe, but map persistence will still be intact.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

not quite full persistence on the map is it?

Ever since the protracted 'maintenance' yesterday, vehicles have not been persistent  - they de-spawn and reset every time a server re-starts.

Did you deem this not important enough an issue to tell us about, or was this an unforeseen and unintended consequence of yesterdays changes?

Can you change it back and if so when?
