So either the server crash reset the database, or the server did not have persistence enabled.

OK I found a way to make the invisible items re appear, if the tent is absolutely full. While looking at the inventory of the tent (which appears empty) click and drag the actual tent icon at the top to the left hand side of the inventory box where it highlights green, then let go. The tent will jump positions and everything inside will then be visible.

As far as I have tested, tents, backpacks and bullet boxes persist indefinitely, but the items inside might disappear due to the sorting algorythm on a server restart. Also any container stored in a tent (clothes/backpacks/etc.) will lose items within them. The sorting algorythm seems to want to stack smallest items first, and almost always loses tall items (axes, fishing rods etc.) I have questions regarding the item visibilty - is there any way at all to restore the item visibility on a full tent? And why is an M4 the same size as a Mosin?

Finding glitches and exploits that are within the function of the code as it is written does indeed help the developers to produce a glitch free program. Using 3rd party hacks, scripts, macros, modifying game files, injecting into .dlls or .exes, etc... does not. It merely creates a situation where the developers are expending all their energy trying to deal with stuff outside of their control, likely resulting in a content poor or unfinished product. And if people are meant to be 'testing no fun allowed' well they should be getting paid for it right? but in this case the transaction is the other way around. We are not testers, we are financial investors full stop. We have the privilege of 'playing' the product before it is finished, if it was no fun there would be no point in letting people play, it would simply be a 'pre order' with no access until the full release.

My current character has lost 4x Mosin's and 3x SKS's because of unannounced server restarts really getting fed up of grinding for the pristine attachments over and over... Don't like to server hop but on my 8th lost weapon I am severely tempted. A 60 second warning would be enough for me in all cases as I only put the guns down to eat/drink/use axe/check compass etc. which I would be able to cancel as soon as I got the warning.

I like it a lot. If only because it means I would randomly have forgotten to rechamber a round when I took a shot of opportunity. GAhhh...
