What could cause the players to reset to level 1? A17 Latest beta

[Greymantle]

My dedicated server twice has had everyone reset to level 1. Does anyone know how this could happen?

 

[Gazz]

Could be a hard drive failure that made all / enough data unreadable.

 

[Jugginator]

In thesame sense if you lost power / the computer shut down while it was updating that would do it, also.

 

[Greymantle]

The only thing that changes is where all level 1. The rest of the world is the same I'm talking gear, stuff we build, etc.

My guess would be a file permission issue.

Not nearly enough information has been provided to figure anything out though.

When it happens It's when I update modlets. Would the progression xml cause this? I change the exp needed to level.

 

[SylenThunder]

Yes. Almost any change to progression.xml will require the character profiles to be completely wiped. The only exception to this that I am aware of currently is changing the multiplier, or skill points per level. (Have not tested changing the multiplier in a17, but it was sometimes tricky in a16.)

Thanks for this information will have to leave the progression.xml alone unless its a start of a new server.
