Loading a game scraps items in containers

[Greywolf]

Hi!

When I load a save game, I often find out that my stuff gets turned into trash and basic components for no reasons. They were fine when I closed the game, but then poof! All rubbish.

Not neccesarily having something to do with loading.

Stuff detoriates over time and the higher the wear is the higher the chances to `falls apart' into rubbish and 1-2 of it components, so if you pick up something that is quite worn out let them fix it up a little before putting it away.
Tho it can still be that the game 'ticks' the wear rate more often on loading than normal, which could be a bug.

Well yeah. There should be no "ticks" on loading. Save and load are not part of the world and should have no impact on it. If there is deterioration, it should happen while you play.

[TheStechi]

Well, you could also have been very unlucky and saved just at the moment the tick happened.

If the autosave timer continues while paused, perhaps the deterioration timer does as well.

It always happens on loading a new game. I many items in CONTAINERS. Things lying on the ground are not affected.

yeah that definitely sounds like a bug rather than just random occurrence, especially if you can repeat it by checking a container, saving then loading and its immediately trash.

haven't had this happen to me though....

I thought it was a bug right off the bat because I do not take things under 80% that cannot be repaired or restored.
