Pitch military tents

[Jon Jony 0]

I found a big military tent but I can't pitch the tent on any place. Any help?

look for more space, no brush, no (or only moderate) inclines

The terrain must be quite plain, you cannot pinch the tent on sloping terrain, I think you can pinch the little tent in sloping terrain as it is smaller, I'm not sure.

the mil tent is the most hassle to place because you have to do it from your inventory screen (wish there was a hotkey).

if it says you can't pitch it 'in a place like this', pick another area.  if it says there isn't enough space, the location is good but you're too close to something - just move a bit and try again.  you can move while in the inventory screen.

I tried to pitch the tent on a open field and it didn't worked. It doesn't say anything like "you can't pitch it in a place like this".

If no message appears  it should be a bug then, I dunno.

I had this issue last night on a 1pp server, haven't gone back to home server to test it yet.  I was getting no feedback when trying to pitch the tent at all; and when I came upon already pitched tents, the entire inside was blowing up with prompts to pack the tents, but I could never get them to pack.

I'll have to try again under different circumstances to determine if it was a server-related issue, or if it was related to a persistence hotfix.

Looks like they are deploying a fix on stable as we speak:
