This happens 100% without fail no matter how many times I try. I've tried re-installing the game but I still get this issue.
This first started happening when I died and didn't play for a couple of days. I loaded up DayZ after that couple of days and on the main menu it displayed my character with the gear he had before I died when it should show me as a fresh spawn. My best guess it has something to do with my character/profile being corrupted.
This started happening after the new version was implimented.
