Players literally quit when progress was reset after trying to grind for hours to get Sergeant rank so they can get a heli on my custom server.
Is it broken or is there just new usage for it?

Hello Gramps.
Changes to save load parameter were mentioned in Experimental release 1.0.0.11 patch notes. - https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/experimental-october-12-2023
New commands to use are -loadSessionSave to load the latest save and -loadSessionSave [fileName] which loads specific save.

ah thank you! I must have just read "Changed: -disableLoadingLatestSave command line param phased out" and ignored it/stopped reading as I was using -LoadSaveFile
Thank you for the explanation!
