Save Point Device not saving ballistics attachments + causes holding such weapons to have visual bugs

Summary

The Save Point device does not save attachments on ballistics weapons.
Using the First-Person-Camera devic while holding a ballistic weapon that had its attachements removed (by this save point bug) will lead to visual issues.

In one scenario during our testing, the server would completely crash after a while of having the weapon equipped.

Hi @Flak and @Enebz! Could you provide any images or videos of this? I experienced this in my last playtest as well, and I’m not using the Save Device. It happened when players respawned after elimination and it had never happened before January 24th.

This twitch clip shows what I encountered on respawns in my playtest. I’m not sure if this is the same, or if you experienced something different.

However, another creator that I have worked with has reported these images from the save device setup mentioned in this thread; so they seem unrelated, after all.


FORT-854209 is ‘Closed’ as ‘Fixed’. The issue will be addressed in 34.00.
