Vaults bugged

[KitOfKalming]

My boyfriend and I have been playing the Isle of Siptah expansion since it came out, however, recently when we've been doing the elder vaults, it's been buggy. Often, chests will be completely empty, creatures won't spawn in the places they always do, and worse of all, multiple times the BOSSES just haven't spawned. We've tried restarting the game and it doesn't seem to matter whether it's a vault we've done before or not.

We did the Asylum of the Outsiders for the first time yesterday, so we can't judge if all creatures were there, but there were empty chests, the boss didn't spawn, some of the doors with pressure plates to open were already open, and the boss chest at the end, that it gave us access to even without defeating the boss, was completely empty.

It's making it very difficult to get eldarium and the sigils and takes a lot of the fun out of running the vaults.

Does this happen on an official server?

[KitOfKalming]

Not on a server, on a co-op game with my boyfriend.

How long did you leave it before going back to a previously finished vault? The vaults reset timer is a setting in your server options even in a single player/co-op game.

From 1 hour to 2.5 hours on a random timer. Thats hours you need to play in game before the vault fully resets.

[KitOfKalming]

We have been playing in game, leaving time between vaults, and they reset partially. But sometimes the boss is missing, and has been from vaults we've never even done before such as the Asylum of the Outsiders and the Sanctuary of the Snakemen. Both times we've tried to do them, there's been no boss spawned.

Thanks for confirming, Kat. I have a thread going on the official forums but I use a few mods so my feedback is always going to be taken with a grain of salt.

Yeah i reckon thats part of the random timer. When you are next in game go to the settings and the server settings part. Yes even in a single player/co-op game. Click the part that says make me admin then you can change vault random timer. So the vault door opening is the same time as the loot resetting.

The default options from memory had a +/- setting that gave it a random timer from 1 hour to 2 and a half max. Set those options to be the same thing and remove the randomness from it.

Yes, but what about the fact that it did this with vaults we hadn't even entered before? And vaults we hadn't killed the boss in before. Why did they not spawn the boss that should've been there?

Vaults we have *not been in before* are not spawning the *bosses*.

[Narelle]

It is not just the timer, I have had vaults without anyone visiting them for 17h+ or for the very first time and some chests were missing loot on default settings.

Yeah even then. I reckon that timer setting can affect all vaults at the same time. Even ones you've not been in.

Yup, go to 1 vault and it screws around with all the others. Even ones youve not been to yet.

[KitOfKalming]

But surely it's not meant to? Logically the vaults would have their own timers and ones you hadn't been in before should have their own loot and boss still there.

while not exactly ideal workaround we also run into this on our private server and what we do to fix it is restart the server. It resets everything back including resources spawns world bosses and vaults.

[Narelle]

I logged after a server restart and still got an empty chest.

[KitOfKalming]

Yeah, we've restarted too, and there's still empty chests, missing bosses, etc

[Scourn]

yeah it fixed it for us. I know legendary chests do not respawn after you get them once though that I have found but the regular chests always repopulate for us.

[Angel_Fyre]

Can confirm. Regular vanilla game.

I had the final sigil chest be empty on first run of that dungeon. Some dungeons the boss also did not spawn.
