Hello, build 42.14.1

I would also like to report:

The server is not allowing safehouse claims. Neither I (as admin) nor any player is able to claim a safehouse.

This is not related to server configuration, as the safehouse settings are correctly enabled. I have already verified:

Safehouse system is enabled
Admin privileges are active
Claim conditions are being met

However, the option does not work when attempting to claim a building.

Had the same issue. Once custom spawns were removed. Fixed the issue.

What do you mean by not found? Do you not have any custom spawns? Can you share the srver settings to confirm that?

Hi,

The issue was not resolved with the previous suggestion.

I performed another full hard wipe, and that seems to have fixed the problem.

If it happens again, I will verify the custom spawnpoints as suggested.
In my case, removing the custom spawns did not resolve it at the time.

Thank you for your assistance.
