Outriders Continues To Wrestle With Inventory Wipe Bug

After improving server stability and offering workarounds for various issues in the game, the team is now wrestling with an inventory wipe bug that’s apparently gotten worse over the past few days.

“Since the recent patch we have seen an increase in reports of this issue - resolving the inventory wipe is our top priority and will remain so until fixed,” said the team on Reddit.

The studio apologized to affected players and outlined their plans to restore lost gear which will be put in motion in the coming weeks. They, however, admitted that they probably won’t be able to restore inventories full of rare (blue) gear and that they’ll only be able to restore more valuable Epic and Legendary items. Restored items may also have different stats than the lost items. Affected players will be compensated with the same care package that launch players will receive for sticking it out amid the connectivity issues.

The devs have also recently implemented additional server-side preventive measures to guard against inventory wipes. Players who lose items due to the bug are advised to immediately force close and reboot the game.

A list of known bugs, potential workarounds, and helpful links can still be found on Reddit should you need them. Addditionally, Inventory Wipe reports can be made on this thread.
