Crash sites disappearing

[haxcha 0]

Today i went on some crash site hunting but every time i found one it disappears for some reason.

Is this just me or is it some bug on 0.59?

 

Little video of it here:

don't they reposition hourly or something?

From my experience they can respawn within about 20 minutes. Sometimes they last longer, I guess especially when noone looted them, but as long as you loot them, around 20 minutes should be accurate. Thats why driving a heli root with a car is so overpowered, one day of doing that and you will have loads of all the good heli gear.

It probably combat logged when it saw you coming.

If crash sites reposition hourly based on server time (which seems to be the case) then how long it stays put depends on the time acceleration. Our server runs at 4x time acceleration, meaning the crash sites move every 15 (60/4) minutes. On a server with an even quicker day/night cycle, it could be as low as five minutes, and you'd have to be quick indeed in getting to that site when you spot it.

 

I've also been in the situation where I was fiddling with my backpack to fit more loot and the crash disappeared on me. Until we get control settings for how often the sites move, this is likely to continue happening.
