Auto Reload Not Working (Save Point Device -> Save Full Ammo Magazines)

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

Currently, the only way for an “Automatic Reload” is using the Save Point Device with the settings “Save Loadout” & “Save Full Ammo Magazines” enabled. (Auto Save must be enabled)
It can be activated by simply using the “Load Player” Event binding.

This no longer works after Update 39.10

This feature is a common way for many game modes that want to reset a fight after an elimination or win. All islands using this method are bugged

is there a fix for it?

FORT-1031691’s status has changed to ‘Ready for QA’. A member of the QA department is investigating the issue.

The best “workaround” for now is to save manually when players have full magazines. (Disable auto save in the save point device)
Most likely when picking up new guns. However, when saving, it can still happen that another weapon is unreloaded, which will cause issues again. Also, players won’t be able to drop items without them being regranted on auto reload.

So no full fix unless you keep track of each item you have available and regrant it.

Hopefully this will be fixed by next week’s update :slight_smile:
