Losing Character

Description

Was playing earlier by myself when my friend came online, joined the Skype call and than left the server i was currently playing on to join the server he was on. When i joined his server almost 15 seconds after leaving the previous server i joined to nothing, on the coast with my flashlight when i previously had m4 all geared, plenty of food and water. I could care less that my character got deleted, ill start over, but i want to know why this happened so it dosnt happen to me again!

It's an ongoing known issue and seems to happen mostly do to switching servers with high ping/Latency issues.

The best way to avoid it would be to pull up your "Change servers" menu, then prioritize Low Ping Servers. I have not had a character deleted in a while by sticking to servers I can keep a consistent connection to.

Thanks for reporting, in the future use the "Search" function before posting and offer your support in the primary threads.
