Save Point Device isn't fully fixed yet

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I’ve seen reports today of players suddenly losing their saved inventories and gold when joining a new game right after the 36.10 patch.
This was apparently fixed previously, though has been a rare but persisting bug and there was a higher than usual number of reports today.

A few players did point out they joined a new game right before the round ended, they lost everything, but right when the new round started they got their saved inventories back. So it’s possibly a join-in-progress issue.

This is all using the Save Point Device.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

Hard to reproduce but I would go to my island (0678-0014-4695), play for a while so you gather a few guns and gold, then leave and join another match.
(Kind of trying to simulate a regular player behavior)

Expected Result

Save Point Device should load player inventory without issues.

Observed Result

Players sometimes lose their saved items, due to the save device possibly saving their state before loading the previously saved state, causing an ‘empty’ save.

Platform(s)

Additional Notes

This is a hard to reproduce issue, but I would try different scenarios like maybe testing with high ping, different regions, etc, as I’m not really sure what’s causing it.

This is the same problem Im facing. Im playing on my map, get 3000 gold and 200 points. I leave the session and join another one solo and everything is loading correctly. But when I join an already running session its all gone, sometimes points are there, but gold is 100% gone. Or I play with friends on my map, get 3000 gold and 200 points, leave, join a new session solo and lost 100 points and 1000 gold. Like the save point device is loading randomly old saves between different sessions. Please fix this, I had to do 9 versions of my map just to realize I cant fix this and I found this bug report.

Bump
All players in my map lost their items yesterday.
This is still happening every day so the device apparently wasn’t fixed at all or there’s somehting the Dev team missed. (Was suposed to be fixed on 35.10)
It’s more prevalent when the servers are lagging.

This is a widespread problem, I removed save points a while ago when they went funny, lucky my gameplay doesn’t require them… yet.

Enough posts about this problem, the needs more info status doesn’t really make sense to me

I have been suffering from this issue for many months. I tried every possible way to fix it during this time but couldn’t. Even when I created a new island, I encountered this problem again. The gameplay on my map relies on the Save Point Device, and I’ve been harmed by this issue. I kindly ask for it to be fixed.

I have tried for months to get them to fix it. They’re just unable to reproduce

@XKN

Maybe one of you create a blank island and upload the project with it broken so they can load it and see the issue ?

I’ve been struggling with this for months. Players start a normal round. Players have received everything from the memory. If I join the current round after 30 minutes, I’m empty. No points and no resources… When I start a new round, everything is back, but from the previous round. That means that in the last round, when my inventory wasn’t there, the memory didn’t record me either. I think this is a huge problem for maps that work with the save point and lives. Please help. Feel free to test it on our map. 4804-6445-9181
