Inevitable Gaming Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 So now it's time again, i got the same problem on my new server... "REQUESTING CHARACTER DATA" Sometimes after people die. It doesnt happen to everyone only a few and not always. What i need to do when it happens is go into the database, delete their player_data, player_login and character_data. Then after that they can login again. What may be causing this, spawnselection? which i got on the server. I switched host from DayZ.ST to vilayer and disabled ai spawns but this is following me. The players sometimes show up as "Error" in the database instead of their ingame name, but not always. This sometimes takes me 2hrs to fix (every day). I will pay if anyone fixes this for me!

Brockie Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 This happens on my server if a player doesn't choose his sex and spawn location. Likelly it is something to do with the spawn selector and if it causes you a lot of problems you should remove it. I think you can fix it by just deleting the character data. You dont need to wipe player data or logins. But ya its 95% most likely because they were at spawn selection when the server restarts. at least thats what causes it on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroK00L Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi, When you moved to Vilayer, did you transfer over your DayZ.St database as well? I had this issue as well when I tried to move over my backup of the database from DayZ.St to Vilayer. Started over with a new database and Voila! I know making players start over sucks but sometimes a necessary evil... Zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroK00L Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ok, Just another shot in the dark... Do you have access to your Hive.ini file?? If so look for this field and make sure it matches your database... [Characters] ;The field name that Player's IDs are stored in (unique per game license) ;Some table layouts have this as PlayerID, and some as PlayerUID, that's why this is configurable IDField = PlayerUID ;The field name that Player's World Position and rotation is stored in ;Enables you to run multiple different maps (different instances) off the same character table ;WSField = Worldspace Just a thought..

insertcoins Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Could as a temp solution have a sql event look for username error and delete that entry, say every 5 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
