Backpack glitched

[deren93@hotmail.com 95]

I just shot a guy and swapped backpacks with him. Everything was normal - my contents were in the new backpack safely. I aborted 10 minutes later, but when I logged back in the contents of the backpack had changed and were now the contents that the guy I had shot had in them?

I'm pretty pissed as the pack had an AS50 in it - any idea why this might of happened?

Did you switch twice?

Sometimes if you switch once, it seems like it didn't, so people do it again. Then the game bugs and tells you that you now have his pack, when in reality you just repicked up your old one.

Fixes upon reconnecting.

[deren93@hotmail.com 95]

Nope, only switched once. before I aborted, everything was perfect - I am 100% sure as I double checked before hiding the body.

[Zeromentor 169]

I don't know, did you check to make sure all the contents were there after you moved away from the body?

[deren93@hotmail.com 95]

I am 100% sure as I was worried about my AS50, I checked like 3 times before hiding the body

I've lost blood bags and other items the exact same way.

Sometimes your inventory isn't "saved" when you disconnect.

If you pick something up and disconnect you might not have it after connecting. Same for drinking/eating. It doesn't always happen. Don't know what it depends on.

This bug can be with your backpack explicitly, after multiple dc's/reconnects your pack can still save X inventory in it, even after exponential time has passed.

Easy fix is to drop and pick it back up, seems to fix it for me at least.

Maybe it was just "bad Karma" for killing that poor survivor,

happened me once think its something to do with inventory not saving

before you disconnect... I Had changed my primary weapon came back next day no primary weapon.

Your pack doesn't seem to force save on disconnect, meaning if there are problems with hive connection at the time it can often roll back.

I killed a survivor with teh Coyote Backpack. Had lots of raw meat in it so I dropepd them for more useful items. Ran to a crashed heli about 15 minutes away. I dropped my backpack and bloodbags/morphine behind a tree incase a sniper was watching over the heli. Went back to pick it after looting the heli and the contents had reverted back to the original survivors contents. I wasn't too upset because I needed food at this point, but it could have been very bad.

Same thing happened to me, i picked off a bandit and went over to check him, He had the coyote pack so i dropped everything from my alice pack on the ground ( incase the other glitch makes your own pack disappear) put on his, took his usefull stuff and my own stuff and put it in the coyote pack, switched a server to get to my buddy and the pack inventory had switched to what the other guy had on him at the time. Ticked me off a little seeing i had morphine and he didnt.

Also, guns take 8 slots right? So atm if you start out with the 8 slot bag and you drop like a lee enfield in the packpack it completely disappears :S

Bit of a turn off, i love the axe for zombs and love the lee enfield for pvp but now i cant take the lee enfield with me in my backpack which does have just enough room for it.

Also what the heck happened to patch 1.7.2, didnt he promise to release it last week monday? :D
