[FIX] Inventory not saving

[Superhappy 2]

Okay so I believe I have found a fix for this bug that people are having.

For the last 2 weeks of play my inventory has basically not been saving (I say basically because there were a FEW times where I actually was able to save an item or two). I have tried at least twenty different server, ones that I was familiar with and ones that I picked completely at random. I tried making a new username. I tried with my brothers steam account and character. I tried a fresh install of ARMA 2 and OA on steam. However, none of this seemed to fix the problem.

Just so everyone is clear as to what the problem was like I shall explain. I would log into a server and go about my business. I would pick up items, drop ones I no longer had a use for, eat/drink things, and basically just play the game. Then I would log off, either to switch servers due to night time or just logging off because I had been playing for too long. After 20 minutes to a few hours I would log back on (yes I've tried logging on the same server and I've tried logging on different ones) and my inventory returned to before I had played. I would wait at least 5 minutes before logging off, sometimes the "wait" would be a few hours progress. So this basically made playing the game impossible.

Well today I found a fix for it.... but you all may not like it.

So I've been meaning to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 for a while now. I needed to play Just Cause 2 but I've been putting it off because re-doing my OS is something I don't enjoy doing. Well today I finally did it. And what do you know my inventory in dayz is ACTUALLY SAVING. I've only tested it a few times but thus far its been working. I'll make sure to keep this threaded updated with everything but at the moment re-installing my OS seemed to have fixed the problem

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

tl dr; I had problems with my inventory saving. I re-installed windows. My inventory is saving fine now.

Are you running the game as an administrator? You might be having issues with the game being unable to access your user profile folder.

What? I'm not having the problem any more. I had tried the administrator thing as well but it did not help the problem.
