Vehicles and tent saving

Recommended Posts

I've been playing a few weeks now (such a fun game) and I have a couple of questions regarding vehicles/tents:

Do you have to log in before each server restart and re-save the vehicle/tent in order to have it persist? Is this a server specific setting? A bug if they are gone?

Thanks in advance.

No. Patch 1.7.2.4 is saving vehicles and tents normally (tents still have the usual dupe bug, meaning if you take something out and do not save the tent it will be back in there again after restart) vehicles are fine. If you are running patch 1.7.2.5 tents will not save their contents under most conditions and vehicles will always reset back to their spawn point after restart. For this reason alone I recommend running 1.7.2.4 and only playing on those servers.

Also, on occasion, tents and vehicles will fail to load into the game after a server restart (this has been happening in all versions since the beginning) but they will be back after the next restart.

Interesting.

A couple of times I've come across vehicles with a bunch of loot stored in them. I didn't see anyone and didn't get shot at so I jumped in and drove off to some crazy remote place to check everything out. I usually put a few better items in my inventory when I log off, and save the vehicle. If I play the next day (or the day after), they are always gone.

this depends from server to server. I play on a 1.7.2.5 and everything saves just fine. Vehicles repair state, loot and position. Tents save too so im having no troubles as long as i save my tent or vehicle after i used it

This has been happened to me a few times. My vehicle will disappear completely on every restart and comes back in the other one.

This should be top priority to fix, including the tents.

Game breaker, totally.

Nice. I need to find a server with these things working.

One last thing. Sometimes if you put items in a tent immediately after you place they may or may not be there after a server restart. I've found that it is much safer to wait until a server restart before I put high value items in the tent for the first time.
