Private Server Restarts

[Kean__1 144]

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but I thought I'd share just the same...

We've always had issues with inventory getting "stuck" in tents, cars, barrels, etc.  This obviously makes life difficult when trying to use these things to transport or store items you need for supplies, base building, repairing and maintaining vehicles, etc. Until now, I thought nothing short of a server wipe would solve the issue until of course it begins to crop up again.

I never attempted a server wipe until today. I also never restarted my server which I wasn't sure was one in the same. ....although I was pretty sure it wasn't. Anyhow, while experimenting with these options and their affect on the characters, etc., I discovered that a server restart (while not deleting any progress) actually fixed our inventory issues in the game world. Suddenly, everything was accessible that was previously stuck.  

It did nothing to resolve a glitched M4 I had, but the inventory sticking issue seems temporarily resolved by this action.

Going forward I set up an automatic restart to be performed daily at around 3am my time.  I'm hoping this will help a bit with some of these items we are trying to access as we transport, etc.  

Again, this may be old news to some of you with servers but I thought I'd just throw it out there just in case.

It’s very good knowledge to share. I reset my server constantly, to fix inventory.

Oh good.  

At the very least our inventory issues won't be as severe as they once were given that the problem only continued to compound itself once something got stuck.   

btw, when you restart the server, what happens to those who are currently on it?  Do they get logged out or does the session momentarily freeze or.....?

😆 it’s only me! So I either logout first or just let it kick me.

Edit: it sends you to the menu screen with a pop up saying, warning you were kicked.
