TENTS

[specterm 25]

What the heck? How do you use these things?

I was able to open it once a few days ago. But the one I have now I have tried to place in about 20 different flat locations even parking lots! and still cant place it. Any ideas?

sometimes you need to leave your inventory window open and spam the pitch tent options while moving a little forward or sideways. Tents tend to be a little problematic sometimes. Best way to go is on flat grassy areas.

Never been able to place one myself, just give up, noob I guess.

Don`t bother with tents atm, your contents can / will disappear at any time, or change to different items..

If you like suprises, setup a tent :D

didn't have any problems with this. I did not however pack up my tent to duplicate it and then set it up a second time somewhere else.

if you do this, thén you'll get disappearing tents.

I dont pack tents, i set them up once and leave them..

And i don`t dupe and have been using tents since day1`, it`s getting worse. same for cars.. They dont disappear after restarts, and then come back after 2-3 restarts.. No..! They get warped all over the map..

So again, useless..not just me.. Fill you tent with High end weapons, see what happens..

Yea. This just happened to me. Pitched a tent yesterday, started placing one of each of items I like to have maintained. Came on this morning and everything is gone.

The disappearance wasn't due to a raid becase Im in an encampment with other vehicles that are still loaded. I re-folded the tent and am destroying it.

I have been using 1 server to test this for a few hours, involving 10+ restarts..(left 30-45 min between restarts so the hive should have been updated.., i can confirm allot of weird shit is happening.. it get`s very annoying, close to the point...

If we can`t even build a little camp..(we can deal with people finding it, its the game..) but logging into the game finding out your stuff warped all over the map is just...fuck..

I can even deal with tents not saving all the stuff (even with NVG`s in it)..but not trucks being warped to weird places (yesterday 1 ural was moved to a position on the map, right on the beach, just sitting there...while it was placed near NW airfield..and i was the only one on the server..

Instead of adding random new useless stuff, lets get this sorted first ..

/edit Left out allot of bad words..
