This is just getting annoying.

So, I was at Balota airstrip and I found an AK-74 with 3 mags, a map and some other cool things, and then I decided to head out back to the wilderness. Upon arriving back at my tent, I logged out. Logged in a few hours later, AK-74 along with the mags, map and other stuff I looted... All gone.

?

Someone stole them.

Hide your tent better

[Thundirah 18]

No, I had the items on my character.

[Thundirah 18]

I store food and drink in the tent.

The green mountain monster ate them.

When a server restarts, sometimes tents can "disappear," but they are usually back on the next restart. At this moment in the game you have to "cure" your tent by placing it and then waiting for it to come back after a server restart in order to reliably use it. I have learned this the hard way myself. Before logging out for the night, place the tent, and come back to check on it later.

This isn't how tents should work ideally, but that's Chernarus for you.

Items missing from your character? Maybe you logged out too soon after collecting them? I really don't know then. It sounds bizarre.

Why do I even bother with the mass of trolls on this damn forum, if you had read my post, you will see that I didn't put the AK-74 or it's mags or the map in the damn tent, I kept them on my character, I keep food, drink, morphine and some other medical supplies in the tent which is all still there -.-

Next time don't distract from your story with random facts.

Edit:

I parked my atv at the store, went in looted everything and ran to the hospital, I looted a ton of stuff and put them in my tent. Later I logged back on and all my stuff was gone! Where did I leave my atv?

Learn to read.

It's because of a massive desync, the HIVE saved your last gear, you picked up some other stuff before it saved the new setup. So you.. got "rolled back".

[Lennsik 176]

Alright, so OP gets an answer, your stuff is gone because of just a random, low chance glitch. That or a hacker. To cut technical jibberjabber, you lost your stuff and aren't getting back. Sorry.

Just be lucky you aren't a goat.

The way server saves work now - to prevent people server hopping/farming.

When you leave the game your character dosnt get saved. Now it on timer. From teh moment you loot stuff say about 2-5 - 10 minutes before your character is save.

Put items in tent - log out = character will not be saved. You have to wait 5-10 min.

Could be a bug I came across a couple of days ago, do you remember seeing your debug monitor before you logged out, and were zombies not aggroing?

I came across a bug at the N/W Airfield, possibly a server bug, the debug monitor disappeared and zombies stopped aggroing, which once I found out, allowed me to sprint around and loot, however, when I eventually went somewhere safe and logged out, with new items I had found, including a PDW which I replaced my G17 with. When I logged back in it had all reverted, I had my G17 back and lost everything I looted after the debug monitor disappeared. It wasn't saved, only my character location was saved, so I logged in where I had logged out.

Could have been the same thing.
