Summary
This is a menacing new issue for us, where our players have reported loss of their entire save file for the map. Since all 4 reports happened when we updated the map and no reports after that (we didnt release an update) and based on what we gathered from playtesters, engineers and our players, it seems to happen when you server hop when a new update is released (we are not sure about the timing). This issue seems to have existed for a while now, because I have seen it since the 1.0 days, just never had a clear understanding of what causes it, so this is the closest we ve been to understanding it. We had 4 cases of save corruption happen in 2 days (2 per update we did). We only use Verse persistence.

(If it doesnt happen, keep trying, we dont know the exact conditions of the corruption, just know that its related to map updates)
