Tents no longer saving. (Not the usual server restart bug.)

[NocturnalS1n 37]

Okay. Camp gets raided, we decided to pick up and move. The usual.

Well until the fact that any new tents we have, won't save items inside. Tons of tents, tons of tries, different conditions, manners, and usual work arounds that will get them to stick. From time to time, the first time you set a tent down, items may not save inside after the first restart, but afterwards they usually do. Usually.

Its Alpha, and nothing is ever for certain. I hundred and ten percent get that, however this bug just started popping up, and I've looked and looked for this particular situation and can't find anyone but my friends and I who are having this issue.

Like I said, any new tent, and even a few old ones, won't save. They'll always revert back to a previous inventory. For example, have a new tent or a tent with current items, replace current items for DMR Mags, save it, go about your business, server restart, and bam, back to the original empty tent, original items, or even the DMR mags.

However if you land with the DMR mags, there will be a catch. You will no longer be able too add anything else, or take away anythign else permanently, as it will be reset again after a server restart. The first items to save successfully in the tent will be the last items to save in the tent after a server restart.

Our group is going insane trying to find out what could be wrong. Is the location on the map problematic maybe? Its not out of bounds if thats the case. Too many tents on the server perhaps? Tents, barbed wire, tank traps, and sand bags, don't disappear even if taken down or destroyed currently. They pop right back up after a restart. So perhaps the server is overlaoded with them?

And its the only method or storage affected right now. Vehicles and their sotrage is currently the only persistant place we cna store anything as of right now. Its the only thing that saves.

Couple of other non-issues. Server is fully up-to-date. It IS connected to the HIVE, so no worries of playing on some form of private server, everythign else we do persists just fine across other servers. Its just tents doing this.

I'm wanting to point fingers at a possible HFB problem, as it is a very recent problem that poped up over the weekend. Or perhaps I suggested. some form of "overload."

Perhaps I missed something, another thread that ran into this *exact* problem. I'm used to tents messing up, losing items, not saving. But I'm not used to them permanently, and completely breaking. As I already said, I understand its Alpha, but trying to work this out and understand why such an unusual form of a usual problem has appeared.

Any suggestions, ideas, or help would be appreciated. If mroe details are needed to nail down a possible cause I'm glad to help. I didn't submit a bug report yet as, well sicne I can't find this issue elsewhere, yet can't be the first ever to hit it, I wanted to ask around first, as looking around failed.

Also sorry for making this so long winded, just tired and wanted to get as much info out as possible, as well as at wits end trying to solve this.

EDIT: Just remembered, and wanted to clarify. We don't care about losing items, what is lost can nearly always be regained, we just care about the ability to store items, period. We technically could use vehicles to store everything, but we'd prefer not to hog vehicles, for sucha purpose. We're a rather large group so lack of places to stick stuff is a real killer.

I placed a tent before the most recent update and now it's gone so I really have no idea what is going on.

[NocturnalS1n 37]

Going to bump this. This is too unique of a problem for no one else to have run into it.

Rocket said hes fixing it in the next patch i think, he mentioned how tent number 1 million + wasn't saving to the database

Same issue here, I hop it gets fixed soon :D

We are on a ViLayer.com host too, so I don't think it has to do with anything but the hive.
