Arsenal and loadouts: loadout of previous faction can be loaded after changing factions
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

If changing factions and saving loadouts using Arsenal is allowed for a scenario, a loadout saved on one faction can be loaded after changing to another faction.

There probably is a faction change check in the game code that should factor for something like this and if there is, then it seems that such functionality isn't working completely.

I first noticed this behaviour while creating a scenario in Workbench. Just to be sure that this wasn't something that was only happening when testing via Workbench I did test the behaviour also on dedicated server and the issue was present there as well.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a scenario that has all the needed components for in-game testing or use a ready scenario that allows changing factions and also saving loadouts using Arsenal.

Switch to testing in-game: first select faction from the available ones and proceed to spawn. After spawning proceed to save the desired loadout.

Open the in-game menu and use Leave faction to change to the other available faction.

Observe that the loadout that was saved while on the previous faction is now available on the new faction.

Additional Information

See this video that I recorded using vanilla Arland Conflict for additional information. It shows the saving of loadout on one faction and loading the same loadout after changing to another faction on. Only modification the scenario shown in the video is that I have enabled changing of factions for the game mode.

In the video:

  • allowing faction change for the game mode at 0:51
  • saving loadout while on USSR faction at 2:28
  • loading the saved USSR faction loadout after changing to US faction at 2:43
  • saving loadout while on US faction at 4:23
  • loading the saved US faction loadout after changing to USSR faction at 4:36

Hello Asmodeus.
Were you able to repro this on GM scenarios as well?
