Problem With Saved Characters

Recommended Posts

I'm currently using version 1.7.2 of Dayz through Six Launcher with the Steam version of Combined Ops.

My problem is that after the 1.7.2 update, I appear to have two different characters on the go, and it's a gamble which character loads every time I join a server, with only a very slim chance of my fully equipped character loading (which is irritating because me and a friend are playing this together). The other character (which is the one that loads the most) has only starting gear, and every time it loads this character I just have to quit and find a server that will successfully load my good character.

This started when I was disconnected from a server and I lost all the progress I'd made in that server, I then joined a different server which loaded up my previous save like I'd never joined the server I got disconnected from. This character (my good character) went adventuring to Berezino with my friend for a day or two, but the next time I joined a server to play with him, it loaded the progress that I had lost, and was in Cherno. I backed out and rejoined hoping it would load me in Berezino, but it kept loading me in Cherno. I played for a bit thinking that Berezino was now lost and I would have to make my way back there, but Cherno eventually died and I quit, thinking I would have to start from scratch another day, but the next time I joined, it loaded Berezino, and now it either loads a new character with nothing, or it loads Berezino with no real rhyme or reason to which one it's going to load other than that I think it might be server based, but if I select a server that seems to load Berezino more, it seems to have a very high chance of failing to load and idling on the loading/waiting for character to create screens.

I've tried creating a new profile and deleting all profile information in My Documents along with a complete reinstall of all ARMA 2 and Dayz related content to no avail, but I understand that characters are saved to a master-server, so if anyone has any information on this problem then please let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to fix this situation.

If you get spawned without nothing near the coast even if you logged out with some gear on another location you just have to get killed once (DON'T RESPAWN!). Just run to a zombie and get killed or jump off a ladder. Anything will do. When you're dead just abort to the lobby and join again. You should spawn where you were before.

Hope this temp. fix works for you guys, too!
