Did the latest hotfix/update break vehicle spawns?

[Harpyrider]

I play SP as well as on a private server. Since the last hotfix update, I have not seen a wild vehicle spawn. In the case of the server, I suspect the vehicle count may be maxed atm, preventing spawns. In my SP game, I have searched several towns and known vehicle spawn points and no new/wild spawns have appeared. I do find car part spawns (doors, batteries, alternators, etc) everywhere but, no vehicles.

Hello :),

If the Max amount is already reached there wont be any more spawns for the Vehicle. You can check if and where Vehicles are already spawned:

#ShowVehicleInfo true

This code lets you see Vehicles on the map and you can teleport to them by clicking on the marking.
___________
#ListspawnedVehicles

A list of All Spawned Vehicles will be displayed with additional Informations about the Vehicle.

What i did noticed was, when driving in a vehicle, spawns of others where significant lower. When walking spawns where significant more active.

In SP, would vehicles spawn in sectors my char has never ventured into, i.e. a zone where a char has never been?

No, vehicles only spawn in active and visited locations in single player, not locations you haven't been before. In this point, the single player differs from the multiplayer, since the entire game world is not loaded as "active" but only the parts that you visit or are close to your character.

If you have visited a place, it is best to come back later or look around for a vehicle.

SP game. I ran the list vehicle command and it showed 6 WWs. Now I have 2 at my base and there are 3-4 that are now derelicts because they were flipped upside down prior to the last hotfix update. That would account for the 6. There are 5 BPC_Barba listed but, I'm not sure what these are.

BPC_Barba is a Wooden Boat. :)

So the 6 WWs listed, are the ones I already know about but, no others have spawned. I guess I'l have to start a new game to double check this because it appears that the hotfix broke my SP game in regard to vehicl spawns. I'll let you know.

I started a new char in SP and found a derelict WW (no engine) at the closest vehicle spawn. I guess the integrity of my original SP game is now questionable. Thanks for your assistance.

Vehicles should still spawn for you, if you already have vehicles in certain spawn points on your SP world new vehicles will not spawn there, so if you have any unusable vehicles in those locations try to destroy them and check again when you visit that location.

The reason it confused me was prior to 0.8, I would find vehicles close to my base, even after I had accumulated several. Then 0.8 was released and I still found vehicles frequently. With the latest update, wild vehicle spawns appeared to stop spawning. I asked around and I seemed to be the only one with this issue. I retested with a fresh SP char and found a couple vehicles, in various states of functionality, fair quickly. Therefore deduced that my original SP game may have a problem.

Before back when they were 4x4 map there were like 162 different spawn locations there's even more now that it's 5x5
