DayZ

A source-bounded DayZ 1.30 hub: distinguish the announced launch wipe from branch/server behavior, troubleshoot a missing server before assuming character loss, and check whether a feature belongs to the base update or Badlands expansion. Neither local checklist reads a game, account or server.

DayZ reading path

For a missing character, server or join error, keep the 1.30 launch wipe, Experimental/Stress Test behavior, Stable server rules and maintenance separate. For content access, check whether it is a base-game 1.30 addition or Nasdara/Badlands-specific; the tools use only your selections.

Start from your situation

Use Bohemia's named split: some 1.30 additions are base game; Nasdara and its regional systems are Badlands expansion content.
