position reset?

[random_stuff 6]

This is the third time it has happened in one and a half day when i'm making my way back to the NW airfield why does it happen?

It happens because you alt f4 or closed the game while you were on the loading screen and the most common reason for being stuck on the loading screen is because you joined a server on the wrong version.

That suck major dick i set dayz commander to only find servers with the same version as me and it still happens´:/

It happens if you try and join more than 1 server in a certain amount of time from what I can tell...maybe if you get stuck on loading or come out of a server wait a little while before joining another? I haven't had it once but a friend had it happen when he alt f4ed while stuck on loading and then tried to get straight back into the same server

This is not true.

First, the most common cause is that you attempted to play on a 2.5 server when you're only updated to 2.4 or the opposite, you try to play on 2.4 when you're updated to 2.5.

This has become a massive problem specifically with this patch because A. Six Launcher incorrectly updates. If you click on update it will simply leave you on 2.4. And B. There is a MASSIVE influx on new players to this game as a result of word of mouth. More total players = more people telling their friends about the game. Those friends then tell their friends about it, resulting in an exponential increase in players, particularly those that are brand new to the game.

Second, there are various other causes that exist for the bug although they're incredibly rare and existed before this patch. Occasionally, for example, I will log in and immediately "die" before I'm even done loading. I close out the game, reopen it, and behold! I'm reborn on the shore with all my gear and stats from before. Again, other variations exist but they're very uncommon. I would bet cashmoney that you just didn't update correctly and tried to play on a wrong version server.
