Disappearing backpacks
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I was playing Whole Lotta Stratis and noticed that once I had kitted myself out with a backpack from a dead body I would save the game. If I exited and then resumed again the pack was missing. Also ,if I put a backpack from a dead player into an ammo crate then tried to get a squad member to use it it would disappear as I placed it into there inventory. {F19258} {F19259}

I have the same issue. Player starts as group leader without backpack. After killing a medic or explosives specialist and taking their backpack the backpack disappears with all content when you save and resume from the save.

I have heard from many people about problems with disappearing gear after loading a game save. This is a mission breaker if you put essential gear inside the backpack during game play and save the mission progress to resume later on.

Confirmed for ArmA 3 Alpha v0.56.104.778
