[Dayz 1.22 EXP] Plastic explosives are STILL NOT FIXED (it's even worse now...)
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Despite what has been said previously in various tickets (e.g. T171360: "Resolved for 1.22 update" and T169697: "Resolved for 1.20" etc.), there are still problems when trying to arm plastic explosives :(
Today on the EXP 1.22 patch launch day I immediately went looking for some plastic explosives and detonators to see if it's finally fixed, unfortunately this happened on my first try:

VIDEO

As you can see the plastic explosive didn't arm and I lost the remote detonation unit in the process (which was never the case before). All I'm left with is the plastic explosive itself and a remote detonator that became useless because it isn't attached to anything.

Hello Jordi435.
We have tested this but we could not produce the issue on our end.

That's very strange, to say the least. I've tested it twice on the same official experimental server on different occasions and the results were the same. My video is also recorded on this official server so how would you explain this then?
Did you guys perform these tests on a freshly wiped server? Because my suspicion is that problems related to arming explosives could have something to do with the up time of the server. In the past I almost never had problems arming explosives when the server was just wiped recently. Based on my experience these kind of problems mostly start to occur when the servers are up for a longer period of time, usually a few weeks after being wiped. To me it seems that the longer the servers are up, the harder it becomes to arm the explosives.

Hello Jordi435.
It is indeed related to the explosives from the older versions. Currently we are looking into what could be done.

Hi @Geez,

Just to let you know I found these plastic explosives and remote detonation units in this 1.22 patch, I've had nothing left from the previous patch. I usually suicide when a new EXP patch comes out and this time was no difference.

Today I also did the same test as shown in my video on a DayOne EXP community server with the same outcome. Again all stuff I found in this patch only.
Other then the official EXP servers, I believe this DayOne EXP server did wipe when 1.22 EXP launched.

I hope this information is useful for the dev team.
