So IS persistance actually in game?

[zachgibson22 14]

Just after some quick googling i couldn't find if persistence of tents and what not is actually ingame yet. I read that it's close but that was from like a month ago.

 

Are tents/items persistent now??

That depends.

 

There is a bit of confusion going on between item persistence ( = items dropped will stay on the server but will degrade over time, eventually making place for new items AKA loot respawn ) and persistant storage ( you can throw stuff inside your tent and it will be save ).

 

I have yet to figure out what it does mean when a server says "persistance:on" but it seems to influence each others a lot, too.

 

However, persistance is enabled all over the experimental servers and the stable servers hosted by BI. You can find peristance-enabled servers in the server list by looking for servers that have something like "persistance:enabled" in their names.

Item persistence is only enabled on Official Bohemia Interactive servers.

 

Look for "Persistence: Enabled" or "Persistence: On" in the server name.

 

Cheers.

servers that have [Persistance] in the title have it activated currently

It's working but quite unstable.  Tents are often being wiped because there are some bugs that potentially cause servers to get stuck.  Servers with persistence also take longer to restart, and in my experience restart more often (unintentionally).

 

So basically, yeah, it works but isn't really worth it and personally I've sorta been playing non-persistent servers instead of dealing with the headache till they fix it.

 

When it does function properly, it is very cool though from what I've see, just needs to be worked on some more.
