When i launch Dayz after crash, my character in the menu is not look like when i quit.
He just had a shirt and pants like when we start a new party.
If i join a server, i recover my character.
If i quit few minutes after playing, i haven't crash and my character looks like good.
I have 2 archive of my dayz appdata corresponding 2 crash:
One at 00:24am and the other at 2:17am.
