Loging out/Loging Back in

[brian@photographybydavidson.com 17]

I guess I logged out wrong because when I logged back in, I was at the coast with nothing. What did I do wrong? I thought if you log out in one server, you can log back in another and keep your stuff.

normaly you can..

most tiems when u warp to the coast, its due to a bug with your location getting corrupted on the loading screen and alt-tabbing out of game..

losing items is a whole nother issue.. i havent had that happen but i do routinely get sent to the coast.. grrr..

fraid i cant help you on losing ur gear, you sure you didnt die ???

I'm sure I didn't die. I was in a very safe spot. Can I log out in one server and log in another? Also, how do you logout? Hit the abort button?

I have gotten stuck at the loading screen many times, closed out and relaunched only to be at the coast. Now I look at it as a great way to get back south pretty quick when I do care to venture northish.

This has happened to me a couple of times now. Spawn in on the coast , not dead, same character. No items on my person, not even the backpack.

Pretty sure it's just that you got unlucky with the same glitch. Usually you don't lose all your stuff when you abort and log back in.

If your gear is gone, I would try to relog once more just incase it is a glitch,

This has been happening every once in awhile to me as well.

It goes like this.

Log on

Sparks has been killed

Respawn at coast, All items gone, Stats are the same

Also there is a duplicate body of my character where I last logged on that has all my gear. If I can, I run back to it and everything is great. If I cant, then the stuff is lost, nothing you can do.

This is actually due to several things. One of the reasons you may get teleported is discussed in this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9554-regarding-genders-skins-teleportation/. Another reason I've heard is that you joined a server with an incorrect hive version which causes you to respawn at the coast, with all your gear. It is due to the server not communicating with hive correctly, due to the incorrect hive version, thus it "loses" your position so it needs to respawn you, and all the valid spawn locations are near the coast. As for those who have died, all I ask is that do you have a hero skin? There is a bug now with hero skins... if you log out under certain conditions with the hero skin your character will die in the spot with all your gear. If not, I am not quite sure what is going on. (Just fyi, I am in no way an expert when it comes to coding or anything, but I would assume that when the hero skin was added, in addition to the many new beta patches, something got outdated and is overwriting something somewhere and is causing these respawns. As I said, I am no expert but this is just my guess). Anyways, the best thing to do is to be very careful at which servers you join. Make sure the servers you join have the exact Dayz version as well as Arma 2 beta version. The servers don't always display the versions they are running, however. The best way to check this I found is using DayZ Commander, as it shows you what version you have installed and what version the server has installed. Btw, sorry about the long post, but just thought I would help a few of you out in figuring out what is happening with all the random respawns.

Happened to me once when I was joining servers running older versions of the mod.

I now have a list of 5-6 favorite servers, all near my location, and all running the latest version of the mod, and I haven't had any problems since then.

You didn't do anything wrong, the game just bugged out on you. It's happened to loads of player, myself included. Just roll with it and start again, you soon get used to loot spawns etc so it don't take long to get half decent kit again.
