2 Questions, Please help

Recommended Posts

First bug/issue im running into and I cant figure out. In the case I have 2 primary weapons and im swapping between them, I always "pull out" of my bag and rarely have any issues switching between them. Sometimes however I start moving along and realize that my backpack is gone with my other primary weapon, "im a bandit so I cant see my backpack unless im looking in my gear", So any veterans out there run into this issue and have any idea what im doing wrong.

On a side note after this happened I ran to the nearest store and tryed to pick up the backpack with 6 slots and when I clicked "take back pack" my remaining primary weapon which I was holding just disappeared. Very frusterating

My second issue is the tents, I place them and load them with items and then hit "save tent". I log on the next day and all of my items are gone and tent empty, everytime. It was well hidden and I only was away for 8 hours so I doubt someone legitmatly looted it all but im not sure. Is there another trick to tents that im not aware of because this is the third time I lost all my gear.

Thanks in advance :)

With the tent question:

Because of 1.7.2.5, most servers reset vehicles and tents every server restart.

I can't help you out on your first problem, but I do know that there is a tent saving issue in the latest version, 1.7.2.5. That's probably why your items aren't saving. Many servers have downgraded to 1.7.2.4 for this specific issue.

A Primary Rifle takes up 10 Slots. If you put it in a backpack with less (A.K.A the start pack). It will disappear.

Its a know bug, and won't be fixed in this game most likely, as its a engine issue.

On the gun thing, the best I can recommend is that you always make sure you have enough space to move something, I.E. Don't try to pull out a gun and hope it will switch with your main. If you are pulling something out of your bag (your gun) make sure your gun slot is open. Likewise, when storing a gun, make sure there is 10+ slots open in your backpack. The best I can recommend for this is to drop something (a can or whatever) to turn it into a loot pile. From there, open your inventory and your backpack, and drop the weapon you want to equip onto the ground. Then get out of the loot pile interface, and store your gun in your backpack like normal. Then just pick up the other gun! It is a bit tedious and annoying process, but it is definitely better than losing your hard-earned items. Best regaurds,

Thank you Azgaurd, Like I said I am able to swap them without issues of the "gun" disappearing but my backpack will randomly disappear. I think I will take you advice though and just do the longer process to hopefully avoid this. My main issue is when I need to get my sniper out in a pinch because of a player.

Does anyone know of any bugs that make your backpack just disappear, ie. double clicking a backpack, hitting esc or g while backpack is open?

The only known issue I've ever had with a backpack disappearing is when I try to change into the camo clothing skin, other than that, I've never had a problem. So yeah, heads up to anyone who reads this, the camo clothing skin will devour your pack!
