You get the connection lost message and you have to log back in.. .. so when you log back in you will find that the last few things you did.. maybe 30 seconds or so, are not recorded and you will be set back 30 seconds in time.. if you just changed guns, or ate a can, or left something on the ground, or ran through a town - when you log back in you find you are back at the start of doing that stuff .. If you're go on driving a car until you lose the connection, when you log back in you may be standing on the road and the car could be half a mile back down the road (?) go find it? - this can be a pisser if you have just found a pristine carry vest and you are sorting all your stuff into it and have gear in clothes on the ground when you get the "No Signal" message... when you log back in, whatever was on the ground is gone, and you are not wearing the new vest.. and whatever you transferred may or may not be in your pack anymore... time jumped backwards So either log out when you get the warning or take the risk and play till you lose the signal and have to log back in.. either way your last actions will be like they never happened < this is when everything is working the way it should > I guess folk right now will say - When you see the server restart message take MAX 10 seconds to hide in a bush and Log Out. If you're in a battle with zombies then run like F out of there as far as you can and hope there's none close when you log back in. It takes a minute or so for a server to restart, before you can log in again. Edited January 9, 2019 by pilgrim* 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molecular Drift 1.0 135 Posted January 9, 2019 To play it safe, I usually try to finish up my to-do list and find a safe place to log out around the ten-to-fifteen minute warning and log out by the two-to-five minute mark before the server restarts. Like Pilgrim said, it's no fun losing things or taking unnecessary chances right before a restart. For those of you Xbox players that don't know, the server messages are off by default now and you need to change that from your title screen menu (config, I believe) to see server messages if you want them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and you also need them enabled to get read outs from rangefinders! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
