why when i disconnect while doing something, like foraging or crafting or even fighting a rabbit, when i connect again it tells i will respawn at my spawn point without losing my inventory which is a BIG LIE !!!!!! i never keep my inventory, even if i wasnt dead, it tells i still got everything but in fact i don t got anything left in my inventory nor bag......why ? this is just awfully frustrating .....

Split off from the Bug Tracker thread.

Please keep stickied threads on topic here. If you have an issue, search the forums and bug tracker to see if it exists first. If not, post a new thread.

I'm not sure what the issue is here. If you crashed in the middle of a fight, you would have gotten KO'd, and that'd be the reason you lose your inventory. Otherwise, I'm not really clear on when you can and can't respawn at your homestead (or city) and keep your inventory.

If you are in the city and your login location is blocked, you can respawn @ your homestead without losing your inventory.
If you are close enough to your homestead, but blocked when you try to login, you can respawn without losing your inventory.

These are the ONLY 2 cases i have found when you can respawn and keep your inventory.

Some more details about how you KO'd would be useful so we can try to determine whehter there's a bug--if it's user actions such as having a Crime! debuff(say you trespassed, KO'd on the claim, and were subsequently murdered by the claimholder) or if you were fighting an animal (trying to take out a deer for the first time, it KO's you for the 3rd or 4th time, and you quit for the night out of frustration).

You were ko'd, which dropped your items, and then when you logged back in, you were at your homestead. But you inventory was empty, so it didn't matter.
