Official & Community Servers - Custom Character Not Applying At Initial Connection
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

When connecting to a community or official DayZ server (LAN or local included), it will on the backend not recognize if the player has a preferred custom character set up through the in-game menu. A player's initial connection to any server despite having a custom character selected, will rather instead load a randomized survival model and apparel, until the player is killed and respawns with their preferred custom character.

Steps To Reproduce

Version: 1.28.160123

  1. Start the DayZ Launcher and "Play".
  2. Enter the Character Creation menu, customize and save your preferred character model and appearance.
  3. Through the in-game server browser, join a community or official DayZ server.
  4. Simply load in to the server.
  5. Your character will load with a randomized model and appearance.
Additional Information
  1. This issue also applies when launching the game, creating a custom character, exiting the game, and connecting through the launcher itself rather than the in-game server browser.
  2. As far as any "fixes", it's only when your survivor is killed or by suicide that you'll be able to respawn as your custom preferred character model and appearance.

I have noticed the same issue. It would be great to get to know the root cause of this issue. This will affect most players in a huge scale because a lot of players do want to play with their specific character models.
