about the tents, i never ever really used them, but its good to know how they work, could someone explain to me?

I only know they can be placed to store looted stuff into it.

I saw you guys had lot of problems with those tents and fixed them now. So whats the special thing about tents? do they save with the character and appear near the player? or how do they work? will they get removed after a restart?

[Adam (DayZ) 193]

They are really just a place for you to store excess gear that doesn't fit in your backpack.

[Guest]

ok, so tents won't be saved if i am right?

about the cars, i noticed the cars get saved after evryone left it, or if a new part gets added, what happens with the items u put into the trunk? will they also get saved after a restart, or do they just get removed from the trunk?

btw. finally i can build barricades :D

Car got deleted when the server restarted. Anything that I can do about this (update to 1.5.4)?

Are tail rotors in this one?

[exetick 11]

Morphing to new character causes empty backpack

can you fix that anytime soon?? its ruining my gameplay. I just lost EVERYTHING and I spawned in water.

you get it everytime you turn from bandit to surviver. I got it 3 times now after 1.5.3 patch.

[phisher34 12]

Any news if the switching to bandit/survivor bug has been fixed. It is still consistent after 1.53 patch.

Basically you would lose contents of backpack and/or get moved out into the ocean.

[drakenof 9]

I can confirm the car delete after a sever restart.

Will test with tents.

[exetick 11]

got this today on north side of elektro close to the fire station there.

MAJOR grafic glitch got it on another places aswell. this came with 1.5.4

[rocket 16567]

Yes, uh. Its supposed to be a pile of metal for you to make Hedgehogs (tank traps) out of. Unfortunately, it binarized wrong and came out looking like a bunch of shit.

Edit: Nevermind I found it in the change log.

Ill post it for everyone.

[exetick 11]

I can't even play with that graphical glitch, anywhere near a town my whole screen is covered in it.

Asked at 10:40 EST. Our server should be synced to US Pacific Time.

Meth. Not even once.

[dz302 1]

Also ran into this, I ended up finding it and it was some wire fence or something like that.

People changing to and from bandit status are spawning in the ocean and losing their gear. Quite frustrating.

[vedicardi 7]

that has been happening for a while now.

can someone please say for certain how tent and barricade/etc persistence works in terms of SERVERS?! I know how they work, but someone for the love of god explain what situations make them disappear, and where they are persistent. Do they stick with a character? With a server? do you have to be near them? How this works with cars has been explained, but nothing else!

[cuel 2]

They stick with the server it was placed on.

[oilman 72]

Definitely a graphical glitch with some item. I haven't gotten close enough to the mess of polygons to tell which item. Apart from that, I'm not having any problems with this patch at all. :D
