Built walls despawning?

[Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159]

Has anyone seen built walls despawning? We've got a few people claiming walls are despawning after restarts and some saying the walls despawn while they're at their base doing additional building.

I've scoured the feedback tracker and internet - haven't seen s single case if it being reported.

Has this happened to anyone here or heard of it happening to anyone? Interested in learning more...

In fact, yes, I've had walls despawn as well. At least, that is what I'm expecting. They're persistent 45 days but they need to be reset. I recently sent ImpulZ a message and asked how to reset them. He said interacting with the inventory is the way to go. He also said the best way to do this is to take some nails, add them to the wall and then take the nails again. This should reset the walls to 45 days again.

I think this method works because on our server we have the BuildAnywhere mod where I have two walls build on top of each other. A while ago I reset all my walls where I build a platform to reach the top wall (adding the nails and planks) and on the top wall, I dismantled a part of the wall and build it back up again. Only my top walls despawned so dismantling and building it back up does not reset the persistence it seems.

I wonder if something like that would work with cars...  Taking the parts off and putting them back on.  I just posted about my cars despawning. Although, this every 2 days or so...

Cars are a different subject. I think when you drive with them or interact with their storage, that the persistence gets reset. But probably interacting with their inventory will do the trick as well.

On the other hand, I think your car is despawning for a different reason. If you leave your car on a slope, leave it without wheels or in (certain) buildings, there is a very high chance that your car moves by itself on a restart or crash. I'm not sure what happens at that point because we can't see that, but chances are it moves into an object or flies up into the air and gets fucked up by that. After that, it despawns and your car is gone. When you park a car, make sure it's on relative flat terrain, doesn't touch an object, not in a building and that the wheels are not sticking in the ground.

I will definitely make sure to do all of that from now on

Yeah I have been having this issue since the beginning of it, still have it today. Put the issue in the feedback tacker and have done what they asked and still have it going on and since they have no idea they stopped replying to it even tho I keep posting on it every time it happens.
