Whenever my backpack is not full it sometimes rearranges items in my case aswell. But that has happened with all backpacks and on all patches I've played so far (been playing since 0.30.113953 on Alpha). Item position is only saved when it's filled up.

Happened to me before even switching to experimental the first time. Reported it here: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=6806 Seems to be the same bug ;)

^ Yes that might actually be correct, I didn't realize it back when I changed it but it happened that same day now I think back. I only have -nosplash at the moment in the parameters though, will test out if removing that fixes it.

Did not work for me, guess I have to reïnstall.

Happens mostly to me shortly after using another item.

Been playing only on servers that were fine carrying character over servers earlier today - Since an hour though I keep getting reset on them too, used paper notes on desk to remember them. So even servers with the right setup still have the ability to reset characters..

I've been seeing a lot of reports (on the forum) of lag-causers/receivers who do the whole container in container in container thing so it might be connected.

Now that I think about it I've been having lag issues as of late and I have 1 jacket I keep for purposes of looking very cool which contains 2 scopes, will have to test if lag stays after clearing that.

Was about to test it out when I logged in and my character got reset upon login, so no dice :(

I have the same quality restriction as you do so I actually think it was atleast worn - but as it happened a few characters ago, can never be too sure.

I've had it happen on multiple occasions though, and the quality going up is weird in any case.
I personally don't think the quality system (as the rest of alpha) is not all that stable yet.

I've had this with all kinds of actions, after a few hours of in my backpack (sometimes even when not getting hit by a zombie/player) some items change quality. I've had 1 canteen go from ruined to worn once too, that wasn't that bad.

It's an option for the server admin, he can turn it off or on, so it differs each server.

I believe it's added for realism, try swimming clothes on with an hiking backpack loaded with stuff on your back.

Sometimes a dead player's corpse does some weird animations when you see it, could be the falling down/strange moving around as you described.

So it was totally possible the guy got killed in the same (4 hour) server restart window and left the server. Your corpse stays in the same location until server reset I believe.

Also happens with the M4 attachments. Doesn't happen ALL the time in my case.

Gun tooltips don't work yet but they cán be ruined indeed. Never had that problem with the Magnum though, but maybe that's because the FNX is more common (in my case anyway).

Does it help to die and respawn?

This has already been reported and reviewed. There is a search function on this bugtracker ;)

Fucking spammers..

OT: Can confirm this, encountered the same bug just this day, was just about to report it when I saw this issue.

Yes I've experienced this aswell, this was after logging out for a lunch break and rejoining the server in 30 minutes. Got exactly the same message, don't know which server it was though. I have chalked it up to a random server bug...

Lost great gear too but with the current spawn-rate of zombies at Military camps you just find an axe and head to the nearest airfield for the same gear in a few hours. It is a bummer but you can't get too attached to your Alpha character.

Yup, been happening to me more and more aswell. Usually happens after I get all the gear I want.

Overpowered? You can just run up to them with an axe and be safe. If you haven't found an axe - just sneak around.. It's the way this game is meant to be played.

The zombie/can sounds were gone for me after the ddos-weekend but I still hear the metal gate/fence sounds a lót.
