Hey guys,

I've attached my RPTs and the modline is listed below. We've been running for about 2 weeks now but I can't seem to figure out why the server save and exit button does not work. Successfully linked to War Room and I see the DB connects successfully. However our server restarts everyday and we noticed that the persistence has not gone through. Been trying to figure it out for the better part of a week but still haven't found anything.

Tried updating server alive version
Tried reuploading aliveserver to the dedicated server on ArmaHosts
Tried a different mission (Clafghan) from our current mission on Malden still no joy. Even rebuilt the mission from scratch to see if that would work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It should also be noted that we do have a headless client that we turn on from time to time, not sure if this affects anything.

Thanks!

Gotcha, thanks for the reply man. I didn't see the announcement, will move to local db saving. Will we still be able to have MSOs with local saving? From my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) war room was required for persistence across server restarts?

Tried updating, server persistence still not working locally. Verified ALiVE version and everything, can post rpts at request, just unsure which one to post now.

Confirmed not working, yep the main thing we were looking for was the player persistence (position saving, gear etc.)

Latest RPT using your mission

So I went back tried it and confirmed, the profiles for the player are not saving when using the mission template from Heroes and Villains.

It seems like the persistence is working somewhat since the time change saved correctly and is persistent across reloads. I was also doing testing with my units modpack and it produced the same result as when I tested with just alive spyder and cba. Should note that with both tests I did remove the aliveserver. Ill post the

In the RPT, the profiles don't show up in the profiles per side area despite the player having already used the player exit. Not too sure what could be causing this, I'm working on getting one of the spare computers around the house setup into a dedicated server to see if the issue is host side. Will update once that's complete. Thanks!

RPT incase you guys wanted to see it:

@HeroesandvillainsOS yep so my method is to hit player exit first so it saves the player. Then I go back in and hit server save and exit

@marceldev I attempted to run it on another dedicated server (hosted on another pc in my house). The location of placed vehicles and time of day save properly, but the player position and loadout does not. I went through the mission that Heroes made and the player options looked all correct. The RPT is below but yeah the RPT indicates everything is saving find except player profiles but even that I'm not sure.

It seems like everything is working but when we go back and test it the player persistence didn't work at all.

ontop of that, how do I run those commands? I tried throwing it in the debug console but it didnt seem to do anything.

I'm also not sure how to reset the persistence using those commands on the armahosts server either

Update:
@HeroesandvillainsOS I found your By the sword mission on Clafghan for RHS. Confirmed its working with persistence and all. I'll look into the other missions and see what could potentially be going. I have been using your method of just hitting server save and exit, it works perfectly. Do you think the autosave feature would work? If so how would I go about implementing that.

Thanks again for the support guys.

Yeah for some reason it's specifically the Malden mission that I made and the Tanoa version you linked me to. I found that when the nato faction was rhs_usarmy_d (not sure if thats the exact name) but either way US army from RHS, the server save and exit (persistence) does not work.

I tried to modify the by the sword to isolate the problem and thats where I ended up hitting a brick wall. Also @HeroesandvillainsOS when I go into your mission the logistics module is greyed out for me? Is that intended? I was looking for a fix for it. Only way I ended up getting it working was changing the faction and playable units to the RHS US army faction but in doing so seemed to break the persistence. I'll keep you updated if I find anything else, currently in the process of upgrading our server so it might take a little bit.
