Empty/Disappeared Tents.

[Violence 1]

Date/Time: 24/09/12 - 25/09/12

What happened: After restart, tents disappeared or spawned empty,

Where you were: In every single server where i've putted tents.

What you were doing: Checking tents to put inside them new loot.

Current installed version: 1.7.2.6

*Server(s) you were on: LU259 (Where tents disappeared) - in many others where my tents spawned empty.

*Timeline of events before/after error: I've dropped all my gear in a tent, i've saved it about three times, and i went to the NW Airfield. When i come back, after the server restart, my tent was not there anymore. So i check other tents in others server and i found all of them totally empty.

You did 'save' the tents, right?

Sometimes on server restarts all tents/vehicles disappear, they usually return at the next restart.

You'll often find empty tents because they have been found already. I always put some garbage loot in there too as it's less likely to be stolen.

Noboby has found that tents, i camped there till the schedule restart. And yes, i put on some stuff, i save the tents and everything disappear the same. ._.

(On LU259 tents was gone and now they're back with everything; just the others (in others empty server) which was empty rest empty. I added more stuff, just to try, saved them and at the restart, they were empty again).

Same here, all tents empty and no one was in server before and after restart exept me.

As mentioned before, this sometimes happens when the server is restarted and does not properly communicate with the hive server usually because NAT negotiation fails. Another server restart will usually fix this.

After doing a lot of trial and error testing with the tents, my formula for getting the tents to "stick" when I place them is to first pitch the tent, (DO NOT SAVE THE TENT EMPTY!) place at lest 4 items in the tent and then save the tent. As long as I have used this method, I have not lost a tent or the loot inside it.

mkay, im gonna try this skydive, ive had this issue this morning (european time)

put tents, saved the inventory, after restart, everything was gone -.-

and yes, i was online shortly before and directly after the restart.... before erstart 1 mate and 2 other players were online and it was night... so no one could have found the tents -.-

best method for me actually is saving items in vehicles... they save correctly and have all items in it after restart

btw. it happened too with the actual version 1.7.3

Sup with the spam lol. Yeah I had the same isue with the latest version of the game and the thing is like another dimension like silent hill haha. Even loot was different and so the timethis is how I notice it was 2 different dimensions. When I lost connection the tent and vehicle would not be there thinking it's been hacked or taken somehow lol Was like w t f u @ k happened to my tent, asking people in the server looking crazy, but then lost connection again and when I returned it was all back to normal.

I did notice one tent desaperared twice when placed in the same spot but that one had a hacked AS50 thermal that I pried of the hannds of a dead hacker with soldier uniform. So I was thinking maybe it was spoted by the server so the parameter was compromissed by the server or something so I never places a tent there again and actully contacted the server admin, a few days later the forum along with the server was gone with all my epic loot lol

Now the tent content desapearing happened to me as well but with the later version of the game not anymore. Then again also I was supect that someone found them because they where sticking out of the tree just a bit and at nite they glow so.. but the loot in the vehicle was all gone just a couple days when I logged along with the whole server peeps and died out of thin air and spawned with out backpack or any loot but still was wearing my camo clothing lol.. Also no one was near the vehicle or in server when this happened.
