i died a bunch of times, but eventually got to banota airfield.

got a remington, killed a bandit.

placed a tent in the woods, and logged off cause it was night, and needed better vision.

but this morning my i had to start over?

hi I have a similar problem I've found a quad and have it backed up but the next time you log in because it was not what I've done wrong! I just found inventory is stored?

Maybe you logged out too fast and the server wasnt able to save it ?

Hi guys

had the same yesterday, I collected stuff, then relogged couple of hours later, just to find half of my gear gone.

However still happy, as i lost only bits no major loss. :)

Could be to do with server instability i tried like 15minutes to log in on one.

Also heard that serverhopping could affect it.

looks like in 1.7.2 your progress doesn't get saved sometimes.. could be related to the hive rollback or something, don't know

anyway it is a known issue and there are already a few threads about it in the bug reports section

Yep, the new patch can cause you to lose some of your stuff. It has also been reported by people that they lost some or all off their vehicles.

Generally though if you put stuff into a tent or vehicle you will need to click save in the roll menu when you are facing it to save items stored inside.

On a side note, vehicles and tents will not travel with you to other servers!

Could be due to the server itself, for some reason some servers seam to run on a different database, forgot there names but I can do whatever I like on some and on some other servers I can play a different character.

Hello Vendicta, yes your inventory is carried over provided the server is not part of a private hive. If you created your character on a private hive then it is exclusive to that particular hive so server hopping won't carry over your stuff.
