Car lost all it's gear

[deren93@hotmail.com 95]

Any idea why? Had the car safely stashed for a few days or more - only thing that changed today is there is now no gear in it after a server restart (I assume server restarted as crashed helis have moved)

IF it's in a backpack, then all the stuff in backpacks in cars will despawn after a bit (restart).

If it's not that, don't know what to say, remember this is alpha.

I have had this happen to my group as well a few times. It comes down to either you got raided and someone took the stuff, or it got wiped and was lost by the server somehow. Either way, the stuff is gone. Some would say it's Alpha, and don't get attached to your gear.

I know personally we had a cars gear vanish but everything else in the camp was still present. No one took the vehicles or anything from our tents, just the one vehicle was empty. So it does happen.

One thing that may help, not 100% sure but we do it anyway, is mouse scroll down on your vehicle and tent and use the "save" option often. But even then there is no guarantee you wont lose stuff.

I had that some time ago with an UAZ. I was a bit bemused as to why he didn't take the whole car, because it was fully operational and had enough fuel. Some days later, it was gone. The strangest thing is that the massive Ural, which was about 300m away from it, never got touched.

From my experience it seems that if you save the vehicle before every server reser/crash. The gear within your vehicle is there.

If a reset/crash happens and you haven't saved it, all the gear is gone. But the vehicle is still there.

It seems that the vehicles will always remain where they are unless someone steals them or they are lost in a server/database glitch.

We had a hell of a lot of gear stored in tents and vehicles only to find everything had gone including the vehicles plus the tents had been flattend. After a server restart the vehicles turned up and the tents were back but only one vehicle had a couple of smoke nades in, watch, flashlight and one tent had tinned food, cooked meat and soda. All medical and weapons were gone.

We always make it a point to save our vehicles whenever we get in or out of them.

This still occasionally happens to us though.

Had a Mil-Offroad that we took out raiding one night. Hit the factory for parts, a hospital for med supplies and two crashed Helis where we pick up several bizons, an m107, and 2 NV-FALs.

Next day after a server restart, all gear in the truck was gone. Other vehilces and tents nearby still had everything, just no gear in the offroad.

Very sad panda...

Thanks, atleast it's not just me overlooking something stupid. Should of refuelled the car though, now it's on low fuel with no jerry cans haha, trolled by the game.

And no, every time I make a post like this, someone moans at me for being attached to gear. Idgaf about gear, I'm just trying to learn if maybe i did something wrong or if it's a known bug - keep your knickers on doreen...

I've also noticed a few of our vehicles lost all their contents. They were near some untouched tents so I doubt someone robbed them. I think it's a bug.
