[Bug report] All enemy AI suddenly dissappear from the map during multiplayer conflict game.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This has happened twice now. Since the latest 'ground support' update we have been hosting a multiplayer game, and after running for some time, a bug seems to have occurred that deletes all the enemy AI.
The game started as normal, then suddenly for no reason all enemy bases were completely empty. Friendly AI was not affected. This was on a dedicated server, not the newer ingame hosting option. As we run private games, mainly PvE with a low player count, the server is often running games for days at a time.

Not sure how to reproduce, as it seems random.

Third time this happened, this time on Arland map hosted on a different server. After several days uptime, all enemy AI vanished.

Occured again on alternate server running conflict after 16 hours runtime.

Occured today after 5 hours runtime.

Happens consistently now. Server deletes all AI after a number of hours runtime. It's no longer worth running as it's not possible to complete the game. Have tried completely reinstalling all server files from scratch, no change.

Sort of the same with me. When running conflict on the server, and joining again the next day everything is reset.

I want a conflict game to just run until it ends or when I decided to reset it myself.

Tested all these variations with the same result.
Running server on Mac Pro hardware (Booting as windows 11)
Running server on Alienware 17R4 (Running windows 11)
With Mods
Without Mods
Conflict Everon
Conflict Arland
Playing as Russian side
Playing as US side
Reinstalled server and client from scratch on the Alienware.
Reinstalled windows completely on the Mac Pro.

In all cases, after taking around 10 bases, the AI vanished. Not all at the same instant, sometimes the next base visited base would have 1-2 left ()when we would expect at least 8), but after that no more bases on the map had any AI at all.
It does not seem to be time based. If the server is started and left idle this does not happen. It only happens after enough active gameplay has occured. It almost seems like it has a hard limit on the number of AI it can generate, and after that number have been eliminated no more are spawned.
