Persistant Save Issue - Hosted game not fully saving
Hello

So lately I have been hosting a game of Antistasi for me and a group of friends. About 10 of us total, jumping on and off at different times. We have run into an issue with the Persistant save. Yesterday we started running a game taking out two outposts, four roadblocks, turning a city to our side and taking one of the AAF bases. I had to stop hosting the server for a bit, and when we returned all of our progresss was lost back to the start of our five hour plus play session.

Now a few things to note about this. While I was hosting the game. I was not playing the role of commander, and I ran into an odd issue where I lost all control over Arma 3, I was still hosting the game, just my controls didn't work except for bringing up the Y menu. So the commander saved the game, and I restarted the game. We came back and all of the progress was lost.

I do know for a fact that commander saved a few times when we secured some enemy hardward such as helocopters, and Lynx. Interesting enough we kept the Lynx, but lost the Helos, so I think the loss of the save came some time after an hour of us starting to play.

After we lost everything I stopped hosting the game for a bit, but later on me and one other jumped on, and went outpost hunting. Taking out the road block South of Paros, and South of the Paros Power plant. We took out two outposts near the air field, and one south of Pefkas Bay.

This morning I logged on to check and see what Road blocks are still around. We got a mission for a roadblock that we took out the night before near the Air Field. The Roadblock south of the Paro's Power plant was gone, but a road block North of the power plan returned to it's location. So to do more tests I grabbed an Mk-18, and engaged the roadblock getting the "Road block cleared message" Before heading back to base to save. During this time. My actions at the road block caused a city to swing to FIA control. After I saved the game, and did the standard Restart. The City was still under my control, but that road block returned to it's location again.

It is very possible that I am doing something wrong when hosting the game. We had issues with our last game before this, and after watching the tutorial. I decided to change up how I started the game.

Before: I was clicking resume game along with the commander saving the game.

Now: I restart the game when ever I bring it up, load it up, and then load the last save in game as the commander.

So. Anyone else having this issue, and am I hosting the game right, or doing it completely wrong?

tldr: Saved the game, did a whole bunch of stuff, most of it did not save after saving. Did more stuff, saved again, and restarted the game, and some of the stuff saved while other stuff didn't save.

Thanks for the help.

< I should point out that I have CBA_3, and MCC running. I used MCC to give back gear that we gained after we lost all of our progress in the last game due to issues with that game's save and commander slot. This was before I changed up how I start the game.. >

Hi!

Please check bug report section, read first post and send the info I ask there.

Don't worry about the roadblocks, some of them are dynamic, so every session you build, some of them can be there or not, or be in another position.

But if there is something bugged around, the info I ask in that section will help.

Thanks in advance!
