Character loss appears to be fixable.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

So as many of you know character loss is quite common on changing servers or even sometimes joining a server after game is launched.

There is a temp fix that might give a hint to developers on how to fix the character loss.

In order to return your character back you have to exit the game AS SOON AS YOU LOSE YOUR CHARACTER (when you joined a server and you spawn on coast). Either quit the server and the game or simply do Alt + F4 to close the game. Restart the game, join a server. If your character isn't back yet, try again. If it happens again then sorry, you are too late.

Steps To Reproduce

Join a server. If your character was reset, then:
-Exit the game ASAP (either quit it or do it with Alt + F4)
-Restart the game
-In main menu you will see your char being completely new - ignore it
-Join a server
-Your character is back;

If your character isn't back, retry these steps because he might of been re-reset. If it does not work twice then I am afraid your character was completely reset.

Additional Information

Character resets happen sometimes. They happen on game startup or on server change.

Restarting the game fixes it.
