Reconnecting loses access to deployed radio backpack
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Game Version number: 1.2.1.169
Modded?: No

Issue Description: When the game crashes and you reconnect, the group you were on can dissappear resulting in the radio backpack you had deployed gone forever as it now belongs to a ghost group.

This issue is most frequent when you are in a group alone and you crash, but it can also happen when everyone in a group crashes.

Steps To Reproduce

1- Be in a group alone;
2- Deploy a radio backpack
3- Let the game crash and then reconnect. (deployed radio will be gone for you to use but still physically present)

The game crash can be that one where you automatically reconnect after 10 seconds or a full game crash.

Additional Information
My current understanding is that when your game crashes, the game comprehends that there's nobody in the group and therefore disbands it, leaving the deployed radio backpack deployed but unusable after you reconnect because the group the radio was assigned to is now gone. 
It leaves unusable entities on the map taking up server resources, it contributes to server lag.

It's so frustating when you walk for kilometers to deploy the radio backpack just for the game to crash, then you reconnect and lose access to the radio backpack, and now you have to go back to a base, use another 200 supplies, and walk back once again to deploy it. It has happened to me multiple times.
