Unable to spawn as customised character
New, NormalPublic

Description

Relatively minor issue but after coming back to DayZ I'm unable to spawn as the character I customise on the main menu.

I'm playing on a community server with a few mods and in the past I've been able: to join the server, kill the random character I spawn with at first, exit to main menu, customise the character how I want it and rejoin the server as that model.

My friends playing on the server use this method to get the models they want but it doesn't work for me.

Tried on other servers as well as official servers. I can use the respawn menu on official to spawn as custom character, but this doesn't work on this server.

I've spoken with the admins and they just told me to try the method my friends are using and I've already tried.

I normally use the DayZ SA launcher but I've also tried with the normal DayZ browser and DayZ client through steam to no success. I've also fully uninstalled and reinstalled DayZ and all the mods/workshop content twice with no luck. As far as I know all the profile data is kept on each individual server/hive and I was wondering perhaps if someone could completely remove all my data/characters to see if that could help (This might be a really silly idea for reasons beyond my very limited understanding of PC stuff)

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Steps To Reproduce

Normally the method that has worked before and currently works for my friends to get the character they want is:

1.Join server through DayZ SA launcher.
2.Kill the random character they spawn as.

  1. Exit to main menu without respawning.

4.Enter character menu, rename and randomize and then customise the character how they want it.
5.Rejoin server, and spawn as that model.
