I lost my character after loading the world
I've been getting this problem for a while now where my character resets to "None None" (name) and loses all of its inventory. I figured constantly backing up my world would help... turns out it didn't cause I lost another character today. Any idea what's wrong?

If you have issues with mods, try disabling them one by one or in batches to figure out which specific mod is causing the problems.
Do it on a new save to prevent any issues on your current playthrough, as removing mods can cause items to be permanently deleted.
After you find out which mod is problematic, consider reporting the problem to the mod creator on their workshop page.

Thank you but I already tried that. Anyhow, my problem it's so random that it's hard to determine which mod it's causing it. I've already disabled some mods before and thought it'd fix it... and it didn't.

Also, after searching the web I found that someone else had this problem and it seemed to be related to file corruption, but there wasn't any concrete answer. I encourage everyone to look at my console.txt log, specially at the last lines which state "removing player data".

EDIT: Nevermind on "removing player data". Seems to be standard procedure after quitting the world. Still, "isoPlayer" ERROR seems fishy.

So the error happens without any mods at all on a new game? Do you perhaps have a log of that happening?

I'm not sure, I'll have to try. What I've already tried is loading the world without 20-ish mods but that "invalid lua table type 99" error keeps appearing (as seen in the log) and my character's lost.

I've already uploaded a log, if that's what you're referring to. If you're otherwise asking for a modless error log, I haven't got one yet but I'll keep trying to discern the problem.

EDIT: I loaded the world without any mods aside from the required ones (AZSpawn, SLE, SMI and STR) and... I still lost my character. I'll now try to check if the error still happens when playing without any mods.

I've been playing for a while now with and without QoL mods and everything seemed fine, but today, after adding a new mod, my savefile was corrupted once again. I'll try reinstalling and see if something changes in my future playthroughs, but for now I can't say what' causing this problem.


By the way, this is the one error that appears everytime my character resets:

Cannot really help much if mods are causing issues. Can only recommend reporting the problems to the mod creators.

are you using any mods? if so, which ones?
check out my modlist, we may have one mod in common that's causing the error.
BadGenie Apr 3, 2023 @ 10:55am 
I have a crazy amount of mods, I'm leaning towards one or some of the trait mods, if not a mod could it be a client side corrupt players.db file?

trait mods I have installed:
profession framework
more description of traits
evolving traits world
simple overhaul" traits and occupations
car hotwire magazine
food preservation plus
portable televisions
autosmoke + smoking improvements
jigga's Green Fire

if i had to take a random guess it might have something to do with the Evolving traits world mod

I wouldn't be so sure about that last statement because I've already tried playing without ETW or any Dynamic Traits mod whatsoever, and I still experienced the error.

P.S: Reinstalling PZ didn't help.

ok, good to know, my brother's character is in the players.db file still, along with the new character called "None None"

is there a reason when he logs in it's forcing him to start a new character or giving him this "None None" character
BadGenie Apr 30, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
still happening after a new install, new server, still happens to my brother's character only. what type of software on his machine would lead to this. he's testing a vanilla server and a minimum mod server to try to pin point the problem

Well there seems to be an EHE error in the log you sent. Thats an expanded helicopters mod if I am correct. So it would be a mod error still?
BadGenie May 2, 2023 @ 1:37pm 
I'll try to check prior saved logs to look for
'WARN: IsoPlayers can't add; IsoPlayer x/y less than 1:None None
and see what other mods were the issue.

I duplicated my character, copy and pasted the 'BLOB' data in the player.db file. He was able to load in as a duplicate of my character. Then copied his 'Blob' data from a prior backup and it didn't work, he loaded in as None None (female character with spiked Mohawk).
I'm going to try restoring 'Blob' data from prior backups to see if any of them can be restored. I've been making backups on startup and every 30 mins to narrow down the issue.

Something is corrupting his Player data I think. This happened on other setups without 'EHE' mod. Kidding has tested the Traits mod.

It only happens to my brother, never happened to one of my characters. His character was wiped on his Hosted server, multiple dedicated servers he has setup as well as my own hosted server.
Beard May 2, 2023 @ 1:44pm 
Was one of the tests done without any mods in that case?
