I was playing the wohle easter weekend on 185.16.86.55:2502. A Fragnet Public 1. Person server. This server had no problem with item persistence related behavior three consecutive days till today.

After the new loot distribution was fixed serverside (more survival stuff, less police items etc.) I decided it is now save to put my gear into a stash. I build one tent in the woods near Stary Sobor, another near Drubrovka.

While I did this Hicks was tweeting:
"Public Hive persistence appears to be working fine, so have fun - make your camps - don't fret about a guarantee of progress loss."

So I logged out for a break and logged back in, 1. tent was gone with my stuff. I run over to Gorka to check the loot - items was new spawned. Even the dynamic event police car on the 95/65 spawn point was slightly on another position and had new loot (it was directed to the south and had a shootgun on the roof spawned which I had no room to pick up - this is why I remeber it exactly).

I was frustrated and was whining at the producer (silly me) and here is the log of this conversation:

Hicks inital Tweet: "Wooooo! Found a civilian medium tent -right- after that tweet."

Me: "@Hicks_206 Cant be mine. The Fragnet publiuc hive server I was plying on just got a persitent rest. *frustrating*"

Brian Hicks: "@andro_dawton What server?"

Me: @Hicks_206 "185.16.86.55:2502 I thought it was an offical and just put my stuff in a stash after the new loot was spawning - bad timing :("

Brian Hicks: "@andro_dawton Just checked, persistence is functioning on this box fine. Maybe you dropped the tent too close to the server restart?"

Me: "@Hicks_206 No, Im on my way to another tent. Loot was new even after restart right now. Strage."

Brian Hicks: "@andro_dawton I restarted it - the loot was not new. All the stuff I dropped on the ground was there after restart."

Me: "@Hicks_206 Im now 100% sure that 185.16.86.55:2502 got a persistence reset. Both tents are gone, loot is not the same as it was on last login before"

Me: "@Hicks_206 Even the position of the crashed police car in Gorka changed direction and position lightly and had new loot"

Me: "@Hicks_206 I dont say that the persistence was not working for your dropped items as you restarted the server. But Im sure there was a reset"

Brian Hicks: "@andro_dawton There was not."

Me: @Hicks_206 "Ok, but 2 things are strange: 1. Tents are gone - both was a few hours old only - far away from each other on lowpop."

ME: "@Hicks_206 2. While you was restarting the server, the direction AND the loot was new on a police car dynamic event. Didnt know this could be possible"

As you can read in the chatlog Hicks was not able to indentify a problem. But I checked the dynamic police car after Hicks restarted the server himself. And the poilice car was then heading to the west. It changed position and had again new loot. While the loot in the police station was the same (one new item spawned on a postion where I picked one up a few minutes ago).

Is it possible that this event can change the position and spawn loot on a restart while persistence is activated 2 times in a few hours? As I know Eugen Harton was communicating that the timer for new loot on dynamic events is longer than a day!
