Thundirah 18 Posted August 5, 2012 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.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dingus (DayZ) 429 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited August 5, 2012 by Dingus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thundirah 18 Posted August 5, 2012 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 -.- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Later I logged back on and all my stuff was gone! Where did I leave my atv? Edited August 5, 2012 by Swineflew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinaru 96 Posted August 5, 2012 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". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lennsik 176 Posted August 5, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbykotick 0 Posted August 5, 2012 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.

freak367 24 Posted August 5, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
