Last night we closed the server down and performed the update as usual with no ill effects but no change to the problem either. The last off server backup we have is a month old (this will be being rectified - previous admin were inactive) I have searched the forum and found only one post- the OP reinstalled his server to fix it but with the amount of players we have a full wipe and reinstall is really really not the way we want to go. Since you only changed the map file and not the player files, the timers are wrong and the PVP timer is kicking in (if you die lots in PVP, each time you die, you have to wait longer, maxing out at 24hrs. Some players were fine but have died since the rollback and have then encountered the respawn timer problem. However- Some players upon logging in found their character had died (not a surprise as they could have been anywhere on the map at restart) and not only were they dead but they were unable to respawn for varying lengths of time- some had to wait tens of minutes, some hours, some 23 hrs and one reported his timer saying he could not respawn for 68 hours. Obviously players were very upset at the rollback but these things happen sometimes. ![]() In the end we had to roll back 48 hours to find a save that would work and load up properly. Upon restart the server would not load the save game- The host saves backups each 4 hrs as well as the standard 15 minute autosaves so we rolled back to the previous save and still couldn't get the server going. ![]() Yesterday morning we shut down the server briefly (saved game via rcon before stopping the server in the hosts control panel) in order to add some admin steam id's to the allowed cheaters list. I am admining a very busy (70 slot often at max capacity) server which is provided by a big name uk Youtuber and we are having a strange issue with respawn timers. I have posted this as a bug but to be honest i'm not sure its a game bug? i'm hoping more people will see it in the main section and someone might be able to help!
