PC So the game is unplayable?

I had an old server that I abandoned because it was in a house and I knew about the bug so I stopped playing it, also we kinda explored/looted most of the stuff. The server I was playing on last month I built an entire house from the ground up and hoped the roll back wouldn't happen to somewhere built in the middle of no where near no trees but that server got rolled back during a glitch so the ground I laid my house was almost completely gone except for some walls and traps. I move to my old server... with mind you, 1 years worth of progress my friends and I made. Pretty much looted everything there was to loot and had a forge with around 10k materials in each category. I too just encountered the "World rolls back all your environments glitch" on that server too and everything... I mean everything is gone. All but my chest which I awkwardly slapped on the wall with all my crappy clothes in it and a chest with my unused crappy gun parts are there. The forge with 10k resources? Gone. Ak-47s, SMGs, Hunting rifles, Shotguns, 500 ammo for nearly every gun... gone. 40 rockets and rocket launcher... gone. All the fancy little additions I had fun putting in the house are gone. 

The red squares show chest where the wall with the most valuable stuff was. The yellow box was my forge with all the resources. The couch looks glitched the hell out. The kitchen had a lot of valuable resources and workbenches with the fertilization unit. The indoor mushroom garden is now a shelf. The custom made garage is gone. At least the mini bike is still there but whole lot of good that will do me. All the lootable places within my area don't respawn loot for some reason. So collecting all that again isn't going to be easy unless I move to completely unexplored section of the map.

But what's the point? You can't build a house from scratch. You can't put stuff in a pre-made house. You can't avoid this glitch at all apparently so if all your progress is going to get lost and it seems this glitch is well known and has been around for a while so I doubt they have any intentions of fixing it... what's the point of playing this game? This glitch, from my experience can happen any time the game crashes. My game crashes around 2-3 times a play session so you're bound to run into it again and again and again. First time it happened? Relatively new server so no big deal. My friends server with all our stuff in it though? That's probably where I bow out. Yes it's Alpha... and has been for god knows how long. Yes it's a lovely way for gaming companies to throw out half finished games for money and say "oh it will be done in a couple year" and decade later it's still in alpha... beta whatever. I don't mind crashing, I don't mind glitches, I don't mind framerate issues it's a work in progress. Losing all your progress multiple times in an unfixable glitch for consoles is a waste of time. Yes it's a work in progress but game breaking glitches and things that completely ruin progress are usually public enemy number 1 for devs to work on. Their forums/support is littered with these reports and the response is "oh it's alpha what did you expect?" I expected maybe after 5 years this game could go into the playable portion of gameplay and not this disaster is it now.

Make backups of your game, and take a look at how to stabilize it. It's not normal, that the game crashes 2-3 times every hour. That should be fixed first.

I only remember there once was a bug that reset chunks (somewhat caused by a forge) in A18. That one was fixed. What is this "glitch" you are talking about?

I've already spent like 200 hours in A19, and NEVER saw that. Also not in A18 (besides that one known bug) and not in A17.

But from my side, my client usually doesn't crash. And the the server does also not (at least not regulary).

 
I am sorry to hear about the glitch and that you lost a lot of work, by the sounds of it you had the POI reset glitch. I had it happen to me and I lost half a hotel to it.

You are playing on a console and that version has not been updated in years and was a mix mash of A15 and A16, we are up to A19 on PC and the game has changed a lot in that time.

The console will not be getting updated until the PC version goes gold and even then it will take a long time to do so as TFP are not a console dev company.

Yeah, I think that's what I'm just realizing and the fact this game is unique, fun with a cool idea I want to play it. But the game won't let me. It's really sad to see when support for a game comes nearly to a complete halt.

I don't know what console you're on that you can stabilize your own games but I can't do that on Xbox. The glitch is the game crashes and resets all the environments in your area. So if you, say what I did, broke down a couch and wall to build chests the game will roll that environment back on crashes sometimes and the couch will be there instead of all your important stuff. If you read this support page you'll see tons of people posting about the same problem. I even read someone did the same fix I tried, which is not living in a pre-made house and making one from scratch but somehow the game deletes all that too. I don't have a video of that but the video you see in my post shows a self poking into my mushroom garden and a couch without an armrest because it glitched out when resetting the area. I wish I had a before and after picture to show just how much stuff got deleted. I think maybe 8 chest and 5 supply boxes worth of loot are just gone. The entire place went back to normal. Even the new section of the house I added next to the garage is gone.

The best console ever. It's called Personal Computer. ;)

Sorry, i missed that you are talking about the console version. Yeah, the chunk problem of the xbox version is well known and there won't be fixes anymore.

I worked at a PC gaming lab where I could play PC games but that got shut down due to covid so without a job I got a console now. But please continue bragging about how cool you are about having a PC on the console section of the forums where you're replying to console post.
