Issues with persistence after server restart since 1.21
New, NormalPublic

Description

Heyo, hope you are well

Since the most recent update we have been having issues with persistence after a server restart. It doesn't seem to happen every time, but it does happen often.

I help out as staff on some community servers with a pretty big community, and we see a lot of tickets coming in about this. I will show an example of 1 of the tickets here :

Basically after a server restart, sometimes there is a small role back for player positions, meaning sometimes they might be like 300-800m away from where they were standing when the server went down. But also we are seeing an increased number of items disappearing. Things like backpacks in this example that were dropped before the restart seem to be vanishing once the server comes back up, here are some more examples of tickets coming from players regarding this :


I hope I am describing this properly, if you need any more info let me know. Thanks for reading

Is the server shutting down long enough for the db to save?
I believe rollback mainly happens when the db has to recover from the last save because it gets corrupted by a hard restart.

Sounds like the db saved the bag was picked up, but didn't get to the point of where it was picked up since the player position was moved away from the bags position.

We will do some more digging into this. The strange thing is that we started noticing it just after the 1.21 update, and we haven't made any changes to the server setup since then (it was working as intended before that)

But I will post updates if we find any more info, thx
