Are tents bugged right now in 0.50?

[NinjaTurkey 255]

Hey guys, so my group and I went to look for tents last night. We found two and legged it out asap. We finaly set them up and put non essential items in them (just incase).

 

This morning i logged in and the tents were still there but they had slightly moved postion, i couldnt open/close or pick them up. The items had mostly disapeared (some remained). I couldnt take items from them or put items in. Anyone else had this experiance? I would accept that someone may have looted them but for the fact i cant interact with them.

 

Cheers guys.

Where did you find tents?

No one looted, because the tents remain. But the items inside tend to disappear. You need to leave one spot open so you can drop rags or whatever in it and refresh the tent. Otherwise check the server ping # try to interact with it when it's under 50 and low pop, it may help. 

But just know if you don't interact with the items and/or tent they will be gone after 15 restarts or 60 hours (or something like that). I was working a lot of overtime and for a week I couldn't play. So when I finally got on and ran to my tent location on the server it was parked on,  everything was gone. Now it was in a real good spot and no one would have just come across it, so it was not stolen.

Zing you can find them in the apartment blocks.

 

Ah i didnt know items dissapear (overnight really)? Ok well thats good to know thanks, were a rather large group so no interaction for 60 hours or 15 restarts is gonna be pretty rare. Im thinking they are just bugged then considering i cant even interact with them properly. Thanks for the help.

tents work similar to your backpack- when the server restarts it attempts to move everything up and to the left in what seems to be a random order. When it does that it tends to sometimes remove stuff that doesn't fit right in this new order, and stuff doesn't show up at all until you drop something in the bottom right corner.

 

I could be mistaken but I think what the server does is just save the tents location and the items in it, then when the server restarts it wants to dump all the items it saved in a list in it, but in no particular order, and this makes conflicts due to the item placement system part of the GUI.

I'm not sure if the following will apply to your tent issue or not.   Wobo had a great video on explaining deletions occuring in bags (or anything with slots).
