ATM Removed my money #432

Closed TK-Tyrant closed 8 years ago

TK-Tyrant commented 8 years ago

As the title shows, I lost all of my money in my ATM some how, I recently got 300k (The Max) and was playing normally until I just checked my money and it was 0. I checked if it was a visual glitch by trying to withdraw $50 in an attempt to fix something. I relaunched my game from scratch from steam and still gone.

I'm not sure how much a picture of it will help my case about actually having that much since you could always argue that I did have that much and just pooled money together, you get the idea.

I do not know how to recreate this. American Pride has told me that this DOES happen sometimes, not likely, but does happen. This issue is incredibly annoying as I recently got the money just to have all of it taken away.

are you a player or server owner?

Maybe joined the wrong server?, never had a report of lost bank money before

TK-Tyrant commented 8 years ago

Player.

It was very much the right server as I had it all in one life, died, then it was all gone.

ghost commented 8 years ago

Have you approached the owners/community that runs it?

JoSchaap commented 8 years ago

Please contact the server host. GiT is for reporting issues with the mission code purely.

I investigated this very issue a year ago (https://github.com/A3Wasteland/ArmA3_Wasteland.Altis/issues/244) but I was not able to find a root cause. The closest I got to an answer is that there could be a rare engine bug where respawning is not taking place correctly, resetting variables to 0.

A possible fix that would be to track bmoney changes via addPublicVariableEventHandler's alt syntax from A3 v1.46 and restore that on respawn, but according to Killzone Kid it might not work as expected.

This was a player from our servers. I told him to report it here or the a3w forums if he wanted a refund. This has been reported only 3 times and this is the only time someone has reported it since we switched to extDB. I'm sure its happened a lot more then 3 times but still very rare. I have heard admins talk about it before and most players are to lazy to report it.

Wow I've had a report to, the first one

Well i played with my friend yesterday, and we got killed then after we respawned he could't see me or that i even was on the server so i decided to relog and after i relogged i saw that my bank was at 0 when it originally was at around 1.2 million which caused me to feel a little annoyed and decided to just quit to see if it came back at next restart or something like that but that didn't happen so i wonder if its possible to roll it back or something or if i have to earn it back which i don't really feel like to doing now. My in-game name is Painze / [PbN] Painze.

To properly investigate such anomalies, I require:

which requires the extDB debug DLL instead of the regular one.
