denkart 198 Posted July 24, 2012 Make sure you're clicking the save tent option everytime. Also make sure the tent is in bounds on the map and not out of bounds. Other than that, tents can be pretty buggy so good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can be hit or miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeOverlord 150 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Also Rocket has come out in the latest patch notes saying that the tents are pretty fucked right now...And that we broke them...And that we should be ashamed...That they commonly erase items...Not always, but they do...

xxHELLFISHxx (DayZ) 5 Posted July 24, 2012 I'm after reading that after restarts it tends to delete the contents of tents. Apparently after a tent stays after a restart, it's safer to put items in it. I'm testing out but yes, someone is going to find your tent, maybe not today but soon enough.

Zyklon p 0 Posted July 24, 2012 plant a tent and wait for a server restart usually fine then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurukururin 11 Posted July 24, 2012 Find the most stable servers and put your tents there. Then you'll atleast have a bigger chanse of them working. I found one server that has held my tent up for over week now with all stuffs left in it even, yay :) (knock on wood lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaime (DayZ) 13 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) As in servers that don't erase all gear in tents i put up...seriously not even an hour goes by and the items just vanish from the tent.Did you save the tent (look at tent, scroll middle mouse wheel) after adding or taking items? Also, there is a maximum of 53 slots inventory slots in a tent, weapons are counted seperately. If your tent is maxed out and you put new items in, the new items will be destroyed. This counts for all secondary inventories like backpacks, car trunks etc, only the maximum amount of slots differs.Alternatively, it could be bugged. Come back to the tent after a server restart, there is a chance your loot might be back. Edited July 24, 2012 by Jaime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puka 11 Posted July 24, 2012 It has nothing to do with specific servers, its everything to do with the hive.Whenever i place a new tent, i throw random garbage in it and wait a day to see if it will save items. There's about a 50/50 chance that the tent will be reliable. Once you have established a tent that saves gear it should continue to do so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MitchRan91 25 Posted July 24, 2012 I think tents are really buggy.We had one on UK 22. Stuff disappeared.Next day more junk in the tent. Stuff disappeared. <_<However when we find a tent its always full of lovely goodies!Shall try this save function me thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slyguy65 499 Posted July 24, 2012 I think the whole save system is just fucked idk if it has always been this way or just post .17.5 but i had saved two vehicles right? the first vehicle save attempt 2 nights ago failed and it was gone the next day...i retrace our steps and find it no where near any spot i saved it at...We then find another vehicle...we then hide them...i then spam save both....we drive one...server restarts while driving...we get back in that car is gone not even back at tent...but the first vehicle is still there...the next day...the first vehicle is now also gone....I know they weren't stolen in that short amount of time that is just an excuse everyone gives to deny that the game is broken...just like when we lose stuff IRL we think someone stole it.THE REASON I THINK IT IS SERVER RELATED...is because every server i tried setting a tent up at tends to restart itself 3-4 times a day while the one server i have a successful tent at restarts rarely and also has loot still untouched...
