Thank you.

Well I just got contacted again by the support staff of my hosting company, and they were also able to recreate the issue on their own servers. This does sound like a bug as I haven't read anywhere that the "lifetime" value should be ignored now. Loot cycling simply doesn't happen automatically anymore. I'm going to enter a bug for this on the bug tracker I guess.

I have no way to verify it except on my own server and I only noticed it between the 1.07 to 1.08 change. I need some other people to look into this and see if they're encountering the same issue first.

After spending hours with the support staff of my hosting company and talking to friends who also run servers I am starting to get the impression the "lifetime" values of items in the types.xml file are being ignored. This may not be easily determinable on populated servers, but on a new server that does not have any regular players yet you can easily see this. Was this change intended? How come there was nothing about ignoring lifetime values in the 1.08 patch notes because 1.07 did not have this issue?

I tried posting this before but for some reason my post was deleted. I recently signed up to host a server. It currently does not have any mods. It seems loot cycling is not working on my server. I'm using a default 1.08 types.xml. When I log out anywhere and memorize the loot and come back a day later even after several restarts the exact same loot is still there. I do not recall it working this way before 1.08, and according to the types.xml file the specific items I checked out had a lifetime of 180 minutes. Why are they still there after 24 real life hours when noone has interacted with them?

My custom server appears to have an issue with the CLE. My issue is that none of the loot appears to be cycling, ever. Even server restarts etc do not change this, and if I go to a specific area and came back after several days, the *exact* same loot is still in the *exact* same spots as it was before. Now I recently switched hosting companies, and this was not an issue with my previous hosting company, which I do not want to go back to though. However, the CLE seemingly not working makes the game not really playable. I'm using a default types.xml and the only two mods I have installed are community framework and Zomberry. The support staff of my hosting company has tried everything and we're out of ideas what else to do. I'm not having this issue on any other server I'm joining except my own. I've already tried fresh installs several times but none of that appears to fix the issue of the spawned loot never changing unless manually picked up. Does anyone have any insight into what the issue might be? Thank you.
