Build 42 Dedicated Server - Map exploration data being reset whenever people rejoin

[mint agate]

Hi, I’ve recently been facing an issue on a dedicated server I’m hosting. Every time a player rejoins all the map information they uncovered is reset and completely wiped except for player made annotations. The only mods installed are Phuncure and SkillsRecoveryJournal. Any ideas?

Does it happen for all players? Are you able to reproduce this issue without mods?

[mint agate]

Yep all players are impacted and it happens with and without mods

This is happening to me also in a mp server but it’s only the map data from .17 is being wiped, the old map data I had unlocked (client side) is still there

We have also noticed this happen. It doesn't happen every single time, but it happens very frequently.

Is it in B42?

[tough fable]

this has been happening regularly with me and my 2 other friends every time on rejoin, its frustrating but not game breaking

by regularly i mean every time without fail it has wiped our maps except for written things on the map

[honest bloom]

Can you reproduce it on a brand new server as well?

Since I am unable to reproduce that

fwiw our server fresh wiped with 42.17 and our players are experiencing it frequently. But, we use mods and I know you don't like that in terms of having bugs submitted 😄

but as you can see in this thread, it impacts modded and unmodded alike supposedly

here's one of our players asking about it a short while ago;

If there is any server that experiences this without any mods, I would suggest forwarding it as a bug report to our forums for investigation:

Has anybody found a fix for this map bug yet? I keep getting the map fog after I have explored. But for some reason the annotations /markings have stayed.

this issue happens 99% of the time when anyone rejoins a sever , all map progress is reset. why did they move map progress from client to server in 42.17 anyway ? whats the benefit

[tough fable]

annotations dont dissapear

[mint agate]

still havent found a fix unless its some weird setting client side not sure whats causing it

[haughty basalt]

It’s not a setting you can fix , in 42.17 they moved map exploration save from client side to Server side which is most probably the reason this started happening because it never happened on 42.16 or below
