No ammo after restoring save game.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Reloading your saved game after using the save feature in the menu sometimes causes all of your units to load in with no ammo.

This doesnt happen every time and only seemed to start happening for me when I turned on unlimited saves in the "regular" difficulty options.

It seems tricky to reproduce but I will go over my experience and how it started for me.

Someone commented on one of my steam workshop missions earlier saying that he loaded a save game and had no ammo. So I checked my mission and at first I couldnt reproduce it. Until I enabled unlimited saves in the regular difficulty menu.

So I went into Showcase Commanding to see if it would happen there and after switching unlimited saves off and on and saving/loading again, the same thing happened and my team instantly reported out of ammo when the save loaded.

This seems quite hard to reproduce until you get it the first time and its pretty game breaking for the people who experience it.

Steps To Reproduce
  • Start a mission ( I started Showcase Commanding from the beginning ).
  • When you land and the other two lads join your team press start and save your game (didnt have time to check but may only occur in regular difficulty)
  • Load the game you just saved and see what happens.
  • If all is well after the last step go to game options and then in the difficulty menu enable/disable unlimited saves and try again.

Once it starts happening it happens nearly every time.

How many times did you have this issue? I didn't reproduce it.

Yes I had the same problem trying to reproduce it and I was scratching my head at first thinking it must just be this one person getting it, but once it happened it happens almost every time after that. Ill try and get a video of it later if I get home in time. If the problem still exists in todays update that is.

Ok I tried reproducing today and after about 40 save/reloads and messing around with game difficulty and on diferent missions I could not make it happen any more.

I have related ticket here:

Including savegame where the issue is happening (You can addt magazines to fatigues which got broken after resuming, vest I had already changed to working one from dead AI soldier).

Happens very randomly.
