After the patch this week, several players are reporting to us that they are loading into our game without a Pickaxe. We haven’t made any changes that should impact this, nor can we figure out why it’s happening. This has been an issue in the past (reported here: Starting game without pickaxe), so maybe that can help diagnose the issue.
Our game is Super Pet World: 4574-2076-3472

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Stability
Steps to Reproduce
From what we can tell, you simply join a new Session and it sometimes happens. There are not consistent repro steps we’ve been able to identify; you either load in with the Pickaxe or don’t.
Expected Result
You should load in with your Pickaxe.
Observed Result
Launch Session, chance you may not have a Pickaxe, when you don’t have one there is nothing you can do except leave the Session and try again.
The specific pickaxe doesn’t seem to matter; last known report was 7 am today.
”A glitch keeps happening to me whenever I try to load into a public game in Super Pet World where I only spawn with the remote and not with my pickaxe, the only way I can get my pickaxe is to go to the locker, switch my pickaxe with another one and then leave the locker but then Im only left with my pickaxe and not the remote used to upgrade the strength, the only way to fix it on my side is to switch to private instead of public, is this happening to anyone else? Its been happening to me for the last 4 or 5 days so far”
Thanks, danger-dev. I love that we keep crossing paths and you always propose thoughtful solutions to try and help; it’s very much appreciated. I will share back to the team. Of course, I’d still love to see the underlying break fixed as well since it seems to be a known issue on more islands than just our own. (Also happened again to one of our devs this morning.)
I’m experiencing this pickaxe bug on my island again after the last update.
The “Start with Pickaxe” option is set in Island settings.
Each player is assigned to a class with “Start with Pickaxe” set.
I provide a respawn button in the lobby of the game specifically for players who spawn without a pickaxe.
As of the last update, the 2nd player (and possibly all players after the 1st player to the session) will spawn without a pickaxe. Or at least that is what I am seeing in my tests.
I don’t really know what to do about. It basically kills my map. A super high number of people seem to check it out and then ditch immediately whenever it gets any attention in discovery. So this must be happening to basically anyone who spawns in a session that already has a player in it, as it makes the game unplayable.
Here’s the island in case anyone wants to see if they can reproduce it.
I did more testing, and it’s only sometimes players AFTER the first player to the session spawn without the pickaxe. It seems random. Sometimes it happens virtually all the time. (As if it’s tied to a session or server or something?) Sometimes it happens less frequently. I tested it in both public and private games. Same results.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else to try to make this stop? This has been rearing its ugly head for over 1 year now. I think it’s been taken care of, but it comes back. It seems like the issue is never really gone.
I’m wondering if requiring some sort of delay at the beginning for everything to load would help??
Pet Heroes Adventure has a delay at their start. But Miner Tycoon 2 doesn’t seem to have this problem and they don’t seem to have any noticeable delay at the start.
