Cars are gone.

[ArmedGhost-]

Yo.

I logged on today for the first time in a few days and noticed all of our cars are gone. There's no sign that our base was broken into.

We had three cars, but only one had an engine.

Any clue to why our cars just vanished?

Apparently things are just disappearing in the game. I'm a solo player and all my chests disappeared in my locked building. Looking through and posting in the bug section, apparently it's a known bug they are working on that wasn't addressed in the patch today.

Lost so many hours of loot, which w/e not going to complain because it's EA but man what a kick in the nuts, think I'm going to take a break. Would have preferred to have been raided rather than just a nope all gone.

After 0.8 ...I put down a flag at a location I liked. I then crafted a couple of chests inside the flag area I had just created - to drop some loot off and to make it easier to build (logs and sticks boxes). I don't recall putting any locks on them at first instance. After my base was somewhat built, I destroyed my flag to replace it as I had to move it.
Then I have crafted more chests and then wardrobes. Found a car.
None has disappeared. I still have my chests and cars.
Edit: actually one of my cars in the very beginning was swallowed by the ground. But the car I had after - I still have.

For what ever help it may be for the devs troubleshooting - I'm on a US East Ping Perfect server, low loot, increased puppets, multiple flags allowed, about 20-25 vehicles of each spawning (except wheelbarrows)
I always (unless the rare occasions I'd forget to) repair the server before downloading a patch.
The entire server map is customized sectors - and all with "allow parking", as in cfg.

Most of my game settings are at medium except
post processing and texture memory is on "high"

Streaming speed is at "very high". No FSR no Vsync.

Cloud shadow on low cloud quality on medium

Render scale at 85

Fullscreen
1920 x 1080

When I start the game from Steam I never choose Dx12 experimental or vulcan - I just hit the option "play Scum".

In my Nvidia control panel I have "Texture filtering - quality" set at "performance"
I have tried to have most settings on my Nvidia Control panel to not have a significant impact on performance

I don't know if any of this is of any help, but in the slightest case it can...

And here's my PC specs:
Win 10
MSI 27" G272 Optix,144Hz
GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB
MSI Infinite X Core i7 [Intel Core i7-8700], 3.20GHz
RAM: 32 GB DDR4
(Corsair Neutron Series XT 480GB SSD ) + 256GB SSD +1TB ext. Hd +1TB ext. hd

Scum is installed on SSD

Cars de-spawn if you do not move them every few days. The amount of time before they de-spawn varies based on server settings.

They have reset all the cars/vehicles on the server I play on as adding dirt bikes back into the game has broken everything. Apparently weapon attachments are disappearing now too when you log out. Not sure if this is game wide but since the hotfix it's been an issue on the particular server I am on. It's crazy how they break everything every time they release content.

and again - I still have all my attachments, my base, my chests my cars ...lol *shrug*

I think at least try and help the devs to troubleshoot with some more details

Yeah. Actually pretty annoying. We put in a lot of time getting them vesicles all for them to just disappear.

I am in an official server, so IDK.

weird since its a well known bug that chests only last 14 days, inside or outside of flag Maintaining does nothing. Maybe the fact you build them in flag zone then destroyed the flag is a factor?? TBH this should seem like an easy thing to fix, since it was never an issue before. But if there are weird variables like you post suggests. it may be deeper and harder to solve.

Even more weird, when I read about the bug I placed a test chest (small wooden one) in our base and it's still there after around 20 days. No one is to touch it or put anything inside.

oynlengeymer and Jolie Rouge - di you have any chests disappear - or cars? As in clearly just vanishing?

This seems to be a forever bug, if you look in the Bug Report forum and put Cars Gone you'll get 38 pages dating back to 2018.

and it's still happening.

Gotcha. Hope to see this resolved. Pretty annoying considering the time and resources we put into getting a car up and running.

Official server despawn is 10 days for their pvp and 4 days for their pve. If the vehicle is not interacted with within that time frame they will disappear.

Yes, because that is a PvE server and there is no real threat of other players stealing your vehicle, hence the timer for vehicle despawn on PvE servers was reduced from 10 days to 4 days.

Nope, not so far. Checking every other day, repairing the base and moving the cars and all that.
