Temporary work-around for the ghillie suit and backpack glitch:

[chunkeymonkey79 86]

I've had this glitch happen to me, so I figured I would point it out by putting a temporary work-around.

Make sure you follow the steps exactly. This list assumes you found a bigger backpack. (Obviously.)

1. Take off your ghillie suit.

2. Drop your backpack.

3. Put on your ghillie suit.

4. Pick up the bigger backpack.

Note: I have only tested this between the standard patrol pack and the ALICE pack. However, I believe the process would be the same, for example: changing from a Czech pack to a ALICE.

...

Another glitch I found is that when switching clothes, either from civilian to Ghillie, you always equip your primary weapon, if you have one. You could have your secondary out while changing the skin, and you would have your primary when it's finished.

They fixed the glitch a few patches ago I thought?

If they did, it's back. I've already lost one ALICE from the backpack-eating ghillie suit.

When? They have 1.7.2.4 in which the camos are back. I really think this item-eating ghillie glitch is fixed.

...no. That is why I made this thread. The version is 1.7.2.4. Camo's are back. I found a ghillie. It ate my backpack. This glitch isn't fixed.

I had the same thing happen to me, all u guys talking about it being fixed have not found a gillie suit and actually tried it.

It ate my alice pack and replaced it with a cyote patrol pack.

I am scared to put on my gillie now that i have a cyote backpack, i dont want it to eat my nice bag!

I am also scared to put down my backpack because it might disappear, it seems to always happen when i put down rare items, but it lets me put down non-rare items no problem.... I am not going to chance it until it is confirmed fixed.
