[SOLVED] Always spawning in debug area (workaround found!)

[ParaB 114]

Since 1.5.8.2 my char always spawns in the debug area, the wasteland without trees:

I've been playing DayZ for the last 2 weeks without any problems. I'm using Sixupdater to install/update the mod, it shows ver 1.5.8.2 correctly installed. I get no error messages other than "CBA.main missing" every now and then.

I've tried a dozen servers, and I always end up in the debug area.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

I have the same problem, and I have tried to install it both manually and with SixUpdater. The same result every time. I get a message in the chat though that says: "CBA_MAIN Missing".

But nothing else, I dont get kicked or anything, just spawning in that shitty place. Dont want to kill myself either as I have really good gear and I am in a great place :(

The "CBA_MAIN" message shouldn't be a problem AFAIK, I got that one before and never had problems joining servers, besides the usual "waiting for...", of course.

Two of my buddies have the same problem: always spawning in the debug area, no matter what server they try. I've been trying to get into the game for the last 2-3 hours, to no avail...

Yeah, I have been trying all solutions I can think of. Reinstalling Battleye, validating my files in Steam. All solutions I can find basically, just hope some person with the know how about this take some time to answer and find a solution to the problem for us.

I tried to create a new char aswell but got the same problem again.

Ok, found a solution: simply run east. :)

After about 2km or so you'll leave the debug area and enter Chernarus. I played for an hour, logged out and entered a different server and all was well again.

Hmm, Ill give that a shot then :) Hope any new character later on will start in the correct area !

This worked fine for me, so I can be reported as a working fix :) But its a thing that I need to be fixed asap so people dont have to run all the way every single time they get this problem.

Yeah, it's more a workaround than a real fix. Still beats starting over if you've got lots of stuff already though.

:D
