tals975 10 Posted January 15, 2013 Hey all!Not so new, but a question a bambi would ask.What happens to vehicles, exactly?I mean, one minute I am driving down the road, and then a wild restart comes, and my vehicle is gone.How does the vehicle mechanics work in this game, exactly?If I left my car at a place that no one would ever find it, and let's say no one did, and it had some gear in it.. What exactly happens?On restarts, does the vehicle restart its gear, and location?Thanks alot in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastoverlord 574 Posted January 15, 2013 The car should save exactly where it was parked at the server reset. I think it is a glitch if your car disappeared. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beastoverlord 574 Posted January 15, 2013 Is it an old server version? Like one where you still have to manually save the car? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Occasionally all tents and vehicles disappear on server restart, if that's the case it should return at the next restart. (that's if that bug still exists) If you were driving when the server restarted or very close to it, it might be a few hundred metres back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I log off, will gear on the floor disappear? And vehicles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I thought.Are you sure that after X number of restarts, vehicle don't spawn back at theyr original spawn? And loot doesnt disappear?THANKS!

Mr R S0le 5 Posted January 15, 2013 Never had a problem with stationary vehicles coming back after a restart, but moving ones have been known to go missing. We lost a little bird last night because of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeReidy 8 Posted January 15, 2013 Vehicles which I have got out of and saved are perfectly fine after restarts. If I'm driving one then yeah, it will disappear. Although once that didn't happen, not really sure why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
