sounds as if you are using the wrong code or something because the dayz code defines that player class as the class to spawn with so if you could give some more detail as to your install process i'll see what i can do to help you. but as i said before the mod is outdated now so this could be your problem i have not kept up with the 2017 mod anymore it kind of lacks alot of loot items which i dont care much for tbh. so i have no future planes for updating this mod.
