OK so ive been playing DayZ for about 3 Months now consistently (logging on every day) and my issue is brand new. this week it just started happening. So ive heard many reasons,causes,fixes, etc etc to losing chars in server hops or just logging in. I can say my situation does not fit any of the "main" causes to char loss. So just recently I logged on to my geared char played then decided to switch servers, (server was NOT resetting) i choose to leave for other reasons. The server I logged into was a 4hr reset server and the time was 15:00 so a reset happened an hour ago, I spawned a bambi to my surprise, besides accedentily clicking on PVT servers and spawning fresh its never happened to me in Public Servers. I was confused as a Bambi I moved around, Interacted with stuff etc etc. Logged out, Server hopped back to my original server where i spawned as a bambi again. At that point I did some research an found out lots of (ill Call them Myths) they might be facts to some but one specific widely supported theory was if you spawn as a bambi and you dont move you can get your char back but if you move the Hive copies over your char, at that point I believed my char was gone, I stopped playing for a couple hours, Logged in it showed a bambi on the home screen so i Chose one of the (24/7 day High loot) always packed servers and to my surprise my original geared char loaded up. So moving as a bambi did not erase him. My char seems to just disappear and re-appear randomly for no set reason (Logging out during server reset, hard shutdown, server hopping continuosuly) I have "lost" and "gained" my char back three times now its at the point where I know hes not gone I just dont know the "trigger or sweet spot" that brings him back. now i noticed one of the admins I think commented on someones post about a char reset and informed him he still had his char that it was still in the system he even said dont worry you still have that shotty too! I was hoping,
- If someone could give me tips on why this all of a sudden random char loss is happening. How to prevent it besides the common soultions (stay on one server, dont move as bambis etc etc) none of those warning really applied to me as i did both and still had my char.
- If an admin could confirm for me my geared up char is still here i guess just not wiped.
