Read here: Died but your tombstone is not on server

86 votes

Hi everyone.

This bug comes up alot and it is because your client and the server isn't talking to each other at the moment. Which means the server don't even know you died.

Usually when you die, you are busy with something and don't look at the "disconnected" icon on the screen showing.

If you are unlucky, the disconnect only happen just as you die. Because when it happens, you notice it. When you´re not busy with death and dying, you normally don't notice the short disconnects.

This issue isn't because the game programming make you lag or temporarily fall out of sync.
The client always tries to re-join when it disconnects or cannot get a response to the server. This timer is set to 30 seconds. if it doesn't get a response from the server within those 30 seconds, it disconnects and you end up back in the menu screen usually.

We are looking into solving this (as all bugs) of course!

The fix right now is to go into a single player world, and just respawn your items back.

Sorry mein englisch ist nicht so gut. Aber als Singleplayer habe ich das Problem, daß mein Grabstein nicht angezeigt wird (auf der Karte aber doch) und ich kann so nicht meine Sachen wieder bekommen.

Is this supposed to happen playing solo, not using the dedicated server? I've done the respawn trick to recover before, but that is tedious.

Good luck with solving this, please post in patch notes when this occurs.

I am not sure if this is a same bug - but I was playing with local server and I died in Mountain biome, somewhere between the rocks. I see the Tombstone mark on the map, but not the tombstone itself - I pretty much lost all my belongings.

What do you mean by "respawn"? Using console commands or?

I had similar problem when I lost my character gear/items twice. When I died, the game crashed and the items were lost as the tombstone was not saved in the dedicated server yet. I remember the frustration.

I died on a shoreline fighting a sea serpent. Respawned and there was no death marker on the map so I sailed back to the spot on the shore and there was no tombstone, no body, nothing. How can I retrieve my lost gear and inventory?
