I only play single player and decided to to give it another go after only spending a few hours in it before.
Fortunately its put me back where I left it before uninstalling but all my gear has disappeared except what I had on me. It was all in chests and they have gone too. Must have left the lights on my vehicle too as the battery is dead.
So pretty much starting from scratch as I can't remember much. Fortunately, I had an air drop nearby and remember these being good for various things. Got there and it had a counter with time to unlock. So I waited and waited as the countdown reduced (I know what you are thinking....). Just a few seconds to go and I would be able to get into the containers and start my restock.
So after the inevitable happened and I realised I didn't have my speakers on, I had nothing. Started in the same grid but because I forgot to check the map for my location, I have no idea where to look for my clothes and bag. I do of course now realise that I need to pick the locks of the containers.
Sigh. I've now edited the config file so no puppets spawn which will give me a chance to learn the game properly (pure survival now).
Still pressing the wrong buttons though and no idea how to have a wee as my bladder is full so I guess I'll just explode. Again.
