Save Device sometimes doesn't load inventory.

Summary

Sometimes, the Save device will fail to load. Verse persistence and switch devices will however not fail to load. Only the inventory is lost.
This appears to happen less than 1% of the time so it is hard to recreate.
Some reports say game crashes in previous session caused their save to be lost. some reports say joining in progress increases chance of it happening. It is hard to tell.
This has been an issue for years.
