Serious MP Game-Breaking Bug: Item Desync & Employee Assignment Issues

[PTERODACTYLUS✡]

Hey everyone,
I’m experiencing a critical bug on my friend’s multiplayer server. Each day when we load in, various placed items (beds, planters, etc.) shift positions for everyone except the host and become unusable. It’s also preventing us from assigning employees properly: the host sees them assigned, but for the rest of us, they remain unassigned.

Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround? It’s seriously impacting our gameplay, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Same here. Game dev better step it up before I do something about it

still getting this

we had same ♥♥♥♥ today with my friends, so what i can suggest is:
1. try to save game and leave together with your friend.
2. if it happens then grab this item to your pocket and place it again, it worked with us.

I still have issues with making an order and my friend cannot see the guy who ordered weed, so sometimes the host is supposed to finish the order, so maybe you can help me with this as well.

Our issue is similar, the most can see items while other players can't. Only host can interact with the car too.

Same here. Issue Persists. Game dev better step it up before I do something about it

As per latest patch of 29/03/2025:

- Shelves and items are being moved erroneously around estate. Coordinates from host are transmitted with what seems to be an error. Shelf content vary between client players.
- Sales were not in sync rarely. non-host could not sell product to customer waiting on spot.
- Vehicles tend to go under surfaces sporadically while being driven around.
- Chemistry station timer operated by cook no longer shows timer countdown.
- Notifications about deals, closed by other clients do not sync to other clients properly, but do for host. "Expires in 0 minutes" message displayed even after rest.
- Card limit for sash-ins is not synced.
- Messages for deals in smartphone are not synced, and new counter is displayed even if other players have responded to message.

I agree it is a tough bug but let's not forget it's one guy making this game... Gotta give him a bit of a break.

Any news on when they will fix this? The game is literally unplayable multiplayer whenever this happens. Restarting the entire game for all players doesnt seem to help at all.

well he has at least $5 million now, so he can afford to hire a few people.

i've only heard of people's progress completely wiping (up until now, which is strange)

like either the host straight up loses the save or the client straight up loses his character on that save

the only real workaround is manually backing up your save folder in case of corruptions like this. but i only really started hearing about "Things being moved around" since patch #5

It's the same problem for me, much of the stuff my friend and I placed in the Barn but today when I joined his sesion (he's the host), a lot of it is missing, yet he can still see it, but i can't. this hadn't happened before.
