Motorcycles despawn

[Kamehameha_Man]

two of of my teammates and myself bought motorcycle's for 45k each and stored them at our base which has a flag. They disappeared. why did this happen?

Hello :),

Can you give a little bit more of detail ? Did you locked the vehicles, was the base closed or is there acess to it ? There can be severeal reasons why vehicles are gone so it is hard to tell without a bit of information around the happening.

[Kamehameha_Man]

The bikes were locked. Our base is heavily locked. The bikes just disappeared randomly. They were there last Friday and when we played Sunday they had all vanished. Nothing else in our base was gone either. I had the same issue with a wheelbarrow I had crafted as well.

Can you tell me on what server that happened if it's an official server I can check the logs.

[Kamehameha_Man]

Brada, it is in the same server where my vehicles' headlights aren't working.

By any chance is it a nitrado server.
over two years ago we used Nitrado and had serious game play save issues.
I had a suv.
Then built a cabin, a wall surrounding with room to store the suv.
One day I was on foot about a sector away and the server crashed.
When I got back on my character was no longer in gear but a fresh spawn no skills 3,3,3,4.5.
He also went from black to white.
YES I hit continue not create a new character.
I ran to my base---my suv gone, my cabin gone, my walls gone but the 4 sections of foundation still there.
This effected about 50% of the players.
We nuked the server-wiped it and it did it again

So since their customer support never once answered our owner we went to a different provider.

It's not on an official server. I am not sure who the provider is? My uncle's car just despawned as well. It seems like if you don't use a vehicle for two weeks in this server it just vanishes. Which is stupid because we have a flag at our base and everything.

It is how the game works....Use it or loose it!

Vehicles have only a limited Time to exist if not changed by the server Owner. 10 Days is the Vanilla setting. The Vehicle must be moved at least a bit to bring the timer back to 0 otherwise it will despawn regardless of flag area.

I had a locked dirt bike I bought despawn. Granted I hadn't touched it in a bit, but I paid high dollar for it. I've been aware of the despawn timer and I'm pretty sure it was gone before the timer. I wasn't too mad about it as I found one in the wild 5 minutes after getting back to my base. I'm solo so two bikes was more than enough, probably would have sold one. This was on an official server. Still have the one I found after 3 weeks. Love it, wish it wasn't so damn loud though.
