What? Obviously that's a side effect of the dupe; I merely stated that there is no publicly released 1.05 method.

Does not work on PS4 actually.

Jesus christ.. I can only apologise for my terrible advice 😂 as much as that has tickled me I am extremely sorry and yes there must be a bigger glitch at play here than i first thought!

I have a character which has been sick (spawned in 1.04) from literally the start of his life, now in 1.05. I play with a big group of friends and while always popping tetracyline to cure myself to no avail I was then informed by a friend that this has been due to taking the wrong type of pill. Having then ran a course of charcoal tablets for the first time ever being 'well' and curing said character.

Probably carrying duped items two of which are identical, and on xbox this causes a 're-roll' where your character will always revert to the last background save after carrying both items. Tell him to test this through placing all his items into a storage container and then proceeding to play for a few minutes, log out and then in and see if the background saves resume as normal. If this fixes the issue he can retunr to his stored items and pick up one of everything being attentive to not pick up any two items which are the same as they are possibly products of duping. To clarify he can carry one of the duped items not both at the same time unless he wishes to continue duping items.
