There are tonnes of reports coming in that there is currently a global bug surrounding Persistence. at the moment players across many servers that i am a member of are saying that all tents, buried stashes, containers, chests ect do not even last a single day.
This must also include all base building items too which is a HUGE game breaking bug.
It means it is actually impossible to collect loot and store it ANYWHERE. This issue is causing alot of people to give up on the game because it is completely pointless playing until items you pick up in the world can be stored somewhere. the only items that are persistent are the items on your body. I really think this issue cannot be put off any longer. server populations are dropping like flies. I am massively excited for all of the new content for item storage and base building just like everyone else is but there is zero point in its implementation if it does not do anything.
Worth mentioning that this is happening on all servers with persistence turned on. im sure it could be a problem that you are allready aware of but it is a massive issue.

Event Timeline
I can confirm this does NOT happen to ALL servers. I have had bases, stashes, barrels, and tents last over a week on GameServers.com Public/Veteran hosts.
so is it just all community servers? ive talked to server admins across 4 different heavily populated community servers and they all say persistence is completely broken. if there is any advice or instructions i could pass onto these admins as to how to resolve these issues that would be fantastic but even still. having persistence only working on official hosts is still a massive issue. why release modding support if nobody will play on modded servers due to zero ability to store gear?
Hello Dshack89 and thank you for the report.
Do you or the other admins experience the persistence resets upon a server crash by any chance?

In our server, different players have reached to us taking about dissapearing tents/barrels/fences after server crashes, even with cars becoming invisible. Our group hasn't noticed any missing stuff on our big bases, but other players did.
Thanks for the reply Geez.
The direct cause of the dissapearing items is not exactly known hence i am attempting to ask devs if they are aware of such issues. Some admins and modders have said to me the persistence problem is known to the developers and they are working towards a fix but i cannot find any proof of this on any forum online.
From what i am told as well as noticing from my own in game experience, is that when you bury a chest or any form of stash, or place any tent, or build a wall, after a while they are just gone.vanish. currently some community servers seem to be facing some issues around crashes and these are happening frequently. whether the cause is the server crashing, restarting or a development bug, these cannot be 100% clarified. but it is happening and it is happening alot.
Any information around persistence from developers would be greatly appreciated and i can forward the information back to the Dayz community.

Hello Dhsack89.
We are currently aware of certain issues with persistence, some of them being tied to server crashes and these are being worked on internally.
