t1337dude 101 Posted October 30, 2014 I bet you already have the answer to your issue by now, but incase you haven't or peoples' responses are not clear. To prevent combat logging in DayZ the Dev Team has made it to where your character never actually despawns from the server you left. for 15-30 seconds. I learned this a few times, when I was about to die by a character RIGHT BY ME I combat logged, and my player was gone. That is because when I logged out, my character was still there and was going to be for 15-30 seconds. So sure enough I got killed and looted after I left. So always make sure you leave a server in a safe spot, not in the middle of Electro or the NEAF. And if you join a non official server, there is also a chance your character could be reset. So when you join a server make sure the name looks atleast halfway desent. For example servers named ( PINEBACK MOUNTAIN, Green Mountain Sancuary, RealismRP, Hosted by gameservers:: Persistence: ON,) are the right servers to join, none of the (high loot, day all the time, BEST SERVER, or JJJclan Free Roaming no PANTS) servers like this are bad news. Hope I answered your question, Cheers Mate!That's a possibility but isn't what's happening to some of us (like me). I honestly don't know how more people haven't had this issue, but it really only occurs to me if I'm playing DayZ all day. If I play DayZ all day, it's likely that my character will be given a red-message reset once, sometimes even twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t1337dude 101 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Bump. Just tried playing again. Made all my way Vyborg, found an AKM and a mag at the nearby barracks, then from my empty server, I attempted to log into a 40 player server...and bam, hit with the red error message again. I think I'm beginning to figure something out - maybe you can't log out near buildings, trees, or other objects. Usually when I log out, I log out in closed off areas near walls to avoid being detected upon log in. Maybe the server isn't saving the correct character coordinates and when logging onto another server, it thinks the character is inside a wall, thus corrupt? I just can't quite figure out how every other single person isn't getting walloped with this issue. DayZ used to be my favorite game. I used to log at least a dozen hours a week. Now I can't even play for a few hours without being hit with game breaking bugs. It's really frustrating. I'm going to make another trouble-shooting thread and perhaps someone has pinpointed some useful detail to do with this issue...

97ADU Doug 103 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Had a good run, decided to get over my dummy spit about the last wipe, survived for 5 days got in a couple of great gun fights. But I joined a server called "The Animal Kingdom" (an Australian hosted server) and despite exiting the game immediately upon spawning on the coast, I remained on the coast upon restarting the game and joining another server. Seems like its just luck. Sometimes leaving the server straight away can save you, but not all the time. (I thoroughly look forward to the rare occasion that I'm killed by a zed or player haha :P) EDIT: Upon further examination it would appear that I joined the server directly after a restart which would seem to support the danger of joining servers that have just restarted.

gigastein 0 Posted November 15, 2014 If your caracter is freshspawned in publicservers after a restart, you is what it is. No way back to get to your geared caracter again. Its wiped out! Neighter can you run back to where you last logged out, your caracter won't be there. But if you got freshspawned while you where serverjumping, its probbably the hive that didnt connect to your caracter. Then all you have to do is log off instantly, and log on back to another server, and your caracter will be there with all your gear. This is true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is true!And if your caracter was killed by another player or a zen, you will se the text "you are dead" before spawning up on the coast. True also!!
