Friends/groups/allies lost after reconnect.

Hi @all,

I got a strange problem on my (and other's) server:
we are 3 players: me (admin), player A and B.
every time i close the session and re-join, I lose my friends/group.

A and B stay in the group (of any of them is the leader, invited the other).
if A or B invites me, too, he loses me as a friend after I log out.

If i invite both, the team is gone after a restart, so A and B are no longer in a team.


short: MY team always gets lost if i invite.
if I was invites, i will be removed from the team.

since this happens on other servers too, I thought i was the problem.
so i verified the game installation via steam (no solution) and re-installed the gamem which also was NOT the solution.

i have no mods that influence teams in any way but to test it, i removed all mods from my server hosted at g-portal.com

the problem also exists when I join a friends vanilla server, no mods.

any ideas how I can tell my game to NOT disband my team when I close it?


the BIG problem is that my motions sensors won't trigger when my friends walk through, since we are no longer a team once I log off.

You should remain "allies" when you disconnect, but you will not be in a group.  You have to join a group each time you start the game.  Being in the group doesn't matter as far as motion sensors and turrets.  That's just related to being allies.  If you press "I" (default key on PC) or open the screen where you invite people to your group using the menu, you will see there are 2 options.  One for party and one for ally.  Make sure that you've added people to both of those.  The party needs to be done every time, but the allies only has to be done once per save.
