Items of my players are disappearing when they loot. (MP)

[subtle vessel]

I don’t know how to fix this. I haven’t changed any settings or mods, and every time you pick up items, they disappear. It could be one item or more, and my players can’t join. How do I fix this?

P.S.: I also have a backup of the server.

Should I delete the files in User and replace them with the backup files?

[fickle quartz]

Do ALL picked up items disappear or only specific ones or in a specific area?

The issue would likely be mod related, I am not sure whether reloading a backup would fix that

[subtle vessel]

Sometimes is all, but sometimes is just one or 2

[fickle quartz]

I might suggest testing a secondary server without mods to check if the issue happens there

Or test with the same mods as well

[subtle vessel]

we found something interesting, if you drop the items on the ground and pick them up, they don't disappear

[subtle vessel]

even without mods, i still have the same problem

Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid after the attempt without mods?

[subtle vessel]

Yes, i can! But how can i do this? The file is over 10mb, i cant send by discord

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wtG9_0141Lj9UiPAT9Oyg4DbPzudfrwi?usp=sharing

if u know other way to send a file, i'm glad to know about it

[fickle quartz]

That is unusual, that file should never reach above 10mb unless it has a ton of errors

You need to share the file so "anyone with the link" can access it

In the google drive

[subtle vessel]

oh sorry

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wtG9_0141Lj9UiPAT9Oyg4DbPzudfrwi?usp=sharing

[subtle vessel]

holy moly

it has 4.9gb

[fickle quartz]

I think you shared the incorrect file

Because the file you sent is called "Logs.rar"

I asked for "logs.zip"

I assume you compressed the Logs folder?

[subtle vessel]

yes HAHAHAHAHAHAH

sry

[fickle quartz]

The logs.zip file is in the Zomboid folder itself, no need to compress anything

[subtle vessel]

here

sorry

[fickle quartz]

It looks like all of the logs still have a ton of mods enabled

I would suggest deleting the "mods" folder in the Zomboid folder

Then start the game, go to the Host menu, create new settings, call them something like "itemtest", leave the default settings and start the server

Then test if the issue happens there

[subtle vessel]

okay

still bugged https://medal.tv/games/project-zomboid/clips/iOqx9Y4F6mgXwsNCK?invite=cr-MSxZR1YsMTgxNDU0NjkyLA

[subtle vessel]

same problem

but it happen a lot less

[fickle quartz]

Could you share the logs again to confirm that there are no mods loading?

[subtle vessel]

yes sir!

[fickle quartz]

Yeah everything seems to be in order, that issue is very unusual, I will have to ask the testers to see if this would be a known problem

Could I ask how much RAM you assigned to the server?

[subtle vessel]

16

i have 32gb

[fickle quartz]

Could you also try verifying your game files through Steam?

And does this happen in Singleplayer as well or only in MP

[subtle vessel]

yes sir!

[subtle vessel]

found 1 error

[subtle vessel]

only tested in MP, will test in SP on a few minutes

in MP:https://medal.tv/games/project-zomboid/clips/iOrgpzl5qgcMXnxHu?invite=cr-MSxUenUsMTgxNDU0NjkyLA

[fickle quartz]

Could you also check if you are opted into any Beta versions of the game in the game Properties > Betas in Steam?

[subtle vessel]

[subtle vessel]

i didn't

should i uninstall the game and install again?

[fickle quartz]

You can certainly try, I am not really sure about this issue as there are no leads for it at this moment

Does it only happen on your own server or other public servers as well?

[subtle vessel]

okay!

[subtle vessel]

i never tested in a public server, only on my own server

[slow iron]

i didnt read the thread so i dont know if this is resplved

but this could be due to the fact that they picked up duplicated item

sometimes items gets duplicated after server restart
so if you pickup an item that has the same id as the one on your inventory it will just think its the same and nothing happens when you add the item

but if youre refering to the items on the ground
the server naturally despawn items
so you need to tweak your settings

[subtle vessel]

its not duplicate items, its new items that disappear, its worst

already had this problem of duplicated item, but i already fixed it

[fickle quartz]

I would suggest testing on a public server in that case to pinpoint the issue

Additionally, I would suggest testing your own dedicated server to check if it happens only on the server using the Host function

[open minnow]

Does it only happen if you use admin to refill containers?

From my testing in vanilla coop hosted game, I could only make this happen when using admin powers to refill a container. It seems to be some sort of desync from pressing the refill container button. Only happening if it appears to roll high and put lots of items into the container in a single refill, or you click refill several times and get lots and lots of items.

For some reason, dropping the multiple refilled items on the ground directly from the container then picking them up will cause them to not disappear. Going far away and coming back seems to let you see the true contents of the container.

Seems to be multiplayer behavior, I used Lootzed in debug mode solo and the highest encumbrance amount of books I could get to appear at that bookshelf was around 11. Went to hosting and i could get 30+ to "appear"

[slow iron]

thats really weird

probably cuz you spawned it using loot zed
it might not have properly register as a container refill event
