Disappearing ammo

[infiltrator 275]

I don't know what causes the glitch but I've had ammo disappear on a constant basis for me, usually when I eject the remaining bullets from my mag, some of the stacks (usually those that are non-full) just flat out disappear. Sometimes they just have a "0" ammo count to them, and sometimes there's no ammo count (just bullet icon). Has anyone figured out how can this be avoided until they fix it?

What type of rounds is this happening with?

[infiltrator 275]

This happened to me with the M4, magnum and ACP rounds.

can confirm: also with moisin and sks 7.62

 

Really annoying when I have a full stack of 10 sks rounds, and a BOX of sks rounds. If I  "dump" out the box, the 10 stack turns into a 5 and the box turns into a stack of 0.

Had the same with 7.62x39 ammo: Emptied a cardboard box of it and my stack of 2 rounds disappeared.

Just did, in case someone else didnt.

I have experienced this several times today.

Confirmed, this happens a lot, tends to mainly be when there are non-full stacks sitting in your inventory.

[santa 10]

Confirmed. Happens lately, especially when stack of 20 bullets becomes 0.

Yup, I've had issues with it. Reloading with a clip when there's ammo in sks chamber bugs out non-clip ammo to zero. Emptying ammo boxes when there's loose ammo of the same kind can bug out unboxing ammo to zero. When I dropped the loose ammo then unboxed the ammo, it successfully unboxed to the correct amounts.

Possible workaround, though I only tried it once.

[jffr363 33]

Yeah, this seems to happen all the time to me as well, but for a me a workaround is to always empty boxes of ammo in a section of my inventory with no sacks of ammo. For example, I move my stacks of ammo up to my shirt and vest, and make sure to only empty boxes out in my backpack. This seems to avoid the bug.

Magnum, here, too.

Bad thing.

You think that's weird, how about filling a mag then logging back in to have the mag no longer in the gun.

Fixed in next update according to dean: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1y5eku/take_care_when_emptying_ammo_boxes_in_your/cfhiz2u

I had this happen on the experimental branch. This was yesterday however and I have not tested with the newer update.

 

The video below is a supplement to the bug report.

 

 

[Edit: The ammo that is appearing on the left side is ammo I had dropped just before I started recording]

Confirmed.. Had it happen 2-3 times with my 7.62. Also heard a friend complain about it..
