restarts resetting save progress.
I am running a dedicated server so my friends and I can play without us needing the same person hosting every time we want to play. The problem is that every time the server restarts it wipes the save and resets our progress back to the beginning. nothing is saved in the arsenal and no town or outposts remain captured. I have looked into the issue and believe the problem has to do with editing the server config file to include auto save=1. The problem is that I am not very proficient when it comes to mods and server files and things like that. I haven't been able to find a straight forward answer as to how and where to adjust this setting. any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

I'm going to cover the "obvious" things (which may not be obvious?) and lets hope that there is resolution.

- The "Auto-Save" feature doesn't save constantly. It is on a timer which happens about every hour. (I'm sure a dev could give accurate times)
- You need to ensure that you don't use the Start New Game (The top option) in the parameters menu when starting the game on the server. It is defaulted to No, but.. ?
- Where ever the profile location is you need to have write access.

The way to test whether or not it is saving is to start a game, go and do something that will show persistence. Like, buy a vehicle and put it in the faction garage. (Something quick). Then, go to the Game Board (the easel) and choose "Persistent Save" A few moments later a black bar notification should come up on the right side giving the details.

Use the server command #missions to return to the menu. Start the map/game and ensure that "Start new game" isn't set, and then check.

Give that a whirl and see what happens.
