fearz0r 128 Posted July 14, 2012 Ok, so three days ago I managed to find some pretty sweet gear. I left my character until the weekend when I could play properly. Then the new patch was released and I lost that character. I started a new one last night and played for about 9 hours, restoring my character's gear (and then some). I logged off and went to bed. This morning I logged back on and carried on. Then just now I logged on again to play with a mate and I find I'm playing with my character from 3 days ago!!What's going on? How is this possible? :huh: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Testificate 7 Posted July 14, 2012 Which servers? One could use a private Hive. Do not use them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted July 14, 2012 Files got corrupted, server bug which deleted your gear or you were simply in a non-hive server (either last time or the time you logged in).Always make sure there's @hive at the server you're logging into, only servers with @hive are official.

fearz0r 128 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) US 31 Colorado 2 andUK5 I was on with my mate in both servers. He has the gear he collected with me in both servers. I don't... guess I'm screwed. :( Edited July 14, 2012 by Burro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexey Zemanov 6 Posted July 14, 2012 Are Six Updater servers all hive?There is no connection between Six Updater and hive, AFAIK. So you could stumble upon anything i think. Someone who knows should elaborate on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PercussiveScruf 2 Posted July 14, 2012 Same thing happened to me last night. If I switched from TX 91 to US 742, I'd be playing a different character on each server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightice 4 Posted July 14, 2012 this happened to me today, but. when i died with the new character and I hit re spawn - I appeared back with my old character where id left himSeems like during hot fixes and possible de-syncs the server is sometimes creating a separate entity instead of loading the old one.

stinkyghost 28 Posted July 14, 2012 Same here, was on 1.7.2.3 then got killed (DAMN STAIRS) then I respawned on my 1.7.2.2 one, was well chuffed :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randir14 7 Posted July 14, 2012 I had two characters a couple days ago. I thought the problem was fixed because I started only playing as one of them no matter the server I joined. Then this morning I was killed by someone at the NW airfield, and instead of respawning as a new character it turned me into my old secondary character who still had all his loot.

Druig 7 Posted July 14, 2012 Rocket said they restored many old characters because of the bugs with 1.7.2, and that you can play your old character when your new one dies.Happened to me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W1Z22 33 Posted July 14, 2012 the fix is to kill the current character.. and then totally disconnect from the server and then reconnect.. you should be your actual character then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
