Have placed tents on two different servers, both private hive, both which the tents disappeared. On the first server which I placed the tents was yesterday, and today after server restart the tents were gone.
On the second server I placed the tent today, gone today.
Place tents and watch them automagical disappear.
I don't know if it was because of the wipe done the other day. Tents seems to stay now. Although, the despawn timmer for items on the ground needs to change. I have cut down trees, just to see the wood log disappear one second after. Same with random items on the ground. Especially when harvesting food, you can place 2 pumpins in your backpack if lucky. But the rest of them despawned just seconds after, due to the cleanup.
Same happens with loose items being dropped.
Bohemia owes me the following:
2 M4s (1 with 60 rnd mag)
1 MP5 (all attachments, RV optic)
1 AK-101
1 AKS-74U
Several mags to aforementioned guns.
Multiple 300 rnd boxes.
Smersh backpack.
Placed 3 different tents and reliable servers at 3 different times, mostly stock piling clips and food/drink for inland treks. All 3 tents poof at restart, and of course all loot.
I really like the new patch that puts a heavy weight on self-reliance; farming, hunting, fishing etc. The problem is when you cannot store items in a tent. As a fresh spawn, impossible to carry everything needed: fishing pole, shovel/pickaxe, seeds, water, food, fertilizer, shovel for worms, hatchet for fire wood, etc.
This is a major bug that must be fixed post-haste.
0.55 and beyond in not playable until tent persistence is remedied.
Can attest to tents and vehicles disappearing on most public servers I have played on.
it happpend twice to me today after server reset lost my whole campground which was basically in that tent
Koffeekage, were you on a private hive?
Currently on private hives admins have the ability to do persistence wipes of the server which would remove all tents/campgrounds.
