Servers not syncing tents/vehicles since heli patch?

[Taso (DayZ) 13]

So, like most people, our clan spent some hours today trying to get a brand new Huey.

Well, eventually, we found it and repaired it enough to fly it away to our base for further repairs later.

Come the server restart, it was gone! (All other vehicles stayed)

We looked for it for a while before someone ventured back to Skalisty island, and wouldn't you know it? The thing was there, totally unrepaired.

What's more, none of our tents or vehicles saved any gear added to them despite multiple saves.

Well, we tried for a THIRD time, this time ensuring plenty of repairs, many saves to all vehicles and tents.

Server restarts before I decide to call it a night. Guess where Huey is-- Skalisty island.

So- it seems that nothing is saving for us this patch. Anyone else experiencing this? (We lost a lot of good weapons too)

I did not know choppers spawned there... is that a default spawn location for that vehicle? I do not see it mentioned on any loot maps. And how do you get there? By boat? Otherwise you would lose any items swimming over there?

[Taso (DayZ) 13]

Servers have the option to turn off losing loot while swimming.

It's the new default heli spawn location as of today- unclear if there are others yet.

Yeah, having problems getting tents to save new stuff as well.

I'll give you a hint. It includes getting wet. Ill leave it at that.

Personally wouldnt waste time getting a boat "unless you have one that doesnt go 5mph already"

I keep losing my gear in tents also. Vehicles are also losing items. It happens between restarts also. I logged out, came back later to switch some gear in a tent. Not there. I'm beginning to hate this mod.

Bump- Would love to hear something official about this problem. Sounds like multiple people are experiencing it =/

EDIT: I mostly want to know if it's worth it to scavenge or.... do anything until this is fixed.

My helicopter and tents seem to be working properly, before the patch our new tents and vehicles would vanish and rarely come back.
