It just hasnt loaded on ur pc yet - not a bug.

I think you missunderstand what "Set Default" means,
You basicly change your character to whatever you want it to look like, and then click the "Set Default" button, to use the character u just made as your default character.

+1 great idea

Confirmed

I can confirm this bug, i can also have a possible idea how this happens.
If you log out from a server, and log in to another to quick, the char data isnt updated quick enough, same as when u log out from a server, and log back in the same one within 30 seconds after logging out, the system hasnt logged you out yet, and so you are unable to spawn as your character is still active, and the server will spawn you as a default character.

• hope it helps.

yea, pretty much easily solved, just eat and drink till ur full - like probably stated in one of these comments above, keep drinking, keep eating, till ur character says he/she feels full - this will last you for about 3hrs IRL time.
Wich is a long enough time, when ur sprinting around.
