100% of my stuff is gone after update

[jgodagno]

Hello,

My base, chests, car, bike, wheelbarrows, crops, clothes, weapons... I lost EVERYTHING after the last update. I just reappeared at my base location, naked.

Do you know how to recover this?
Or is it ruined? I never want to play this game again if that's the case....

Hello :),

This happened due to the Patch. A Partial Wipe needed to take place to ensure the new Content and mechanics will work. While the world has been wiped your Character and his stats remained.

For a Game in Development it is not uncommon when larger changes appear that a Wipe needs to take place.

Okay. Thank you. So, if I go back to rebuilding and collecting stuff, I'm going to lose everything on the next update.

I just lost tens, hundreds of hours of gameplay.

I can't find enough hate words to express how I feel.

Goodbye and forever goodbye.

I'm honestly surprised that the developer cleans all players' saves and doesn't even inform about it. Just... Brings a new update and deletes 100, 200 or 500 hours of play in SP mode. It would be appropriate to write here, that while the game is the property of the developer, the time invested by the players is definitely NOT. That's why SCUM flew out of my Steam account today, because although the game is very addictive, the developer's behavior is simply stupid. You can only lose players this way. Goodbye Scum - welcome DayZ...

With every big update that brings new system mechanics and wipes are needed. I know you ask yourself why.
The answer is you have two choices.
1. Leave current data with no wipe and have fatal errors and be unable to play the game at all because of data conflicts and system problems.
2. Wipe data and be able to play the game.

This is not the first wipe that happened and wipes will happen on major updates if needed for system stability

Perfect answer.
There is no way I restart a new single solo play, knowing i will loose everything, again, in the next major update. Tell me it will never happen again in the future and I'll run back to the game at the speed of sound.

Honestly surprised in 2023 some people think people complaining are first-time survival game players, that's crazy.

early access okay, fine, things change and stuff.

but: to play on your own server, you need to rent. you can't host yourself like any other game, but if you are able to rent, the files are out there. just not for you.

and after update, everything is razed. bases, inventory, money in the bank, even server settings. that's rude!

[Cydrus]

Weird, I had to re-create my character entirely after this update (on my server). Partial wipe? lol

Rust wipes every 2 weeks - 1 month depending on the server you play on. Wipes are a common thing in survival games, especially early access ones. Like the dev said above, there's no way around it when you're developing a game like this.
