This has been happening with me for about a week now too. I am unable to keep any items I find between play sessions. I always rejoin any server with the starting equipment but my blood values are saved, and my food/drink/etc. meters are saved too.I believe it may be a hive problem. Has anyone tried a complete reinstall yet? I've made a new profile in game, but that didn't work. Going to different servers does not help either, running current beta patches or older beta patches makes no difference. This bug has effectively broken the game for me...I mostly play on Dallas 3. When this first happened I thought it was a bug from getting on and off a bus but it has persisted. None of my companions have suffered any problems like mine either. I don't know what to do.
