Whenever I do a restart I ensure I do save-all at console level and even /#save-all ingame before restarting, but after i restart it always seems to revert to the last time the server saved periodically.
Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?... this has happened multiple times, and even though the server rarely needs to be restarted it's just too annoying (people have lost a lot)
edit: the command 'stop' is used at the command level to stop the server - not ctrl^c
I've used stop a few times and the impact seems much less... Let me know if find a solution.
Good to know it isn't just me. Also, I once waited to restart after a periodic save because my rcon closed shop on me. Needless to say, there was quite a bit missing after that..
I'd like to see others who are having this problem and the solutions they use to fix it... it seems to be effecting a lot.. should we turn the save time down to 5-10mins instead of every 20 - 30?
I had this problem once. I even had a backup world in case something like this. But it somehow saved both of them.... And now theirs a giant random river that we cant build in that cut my city in half.
Just to anyone still experiencing this, it seems I usually had it happen when saving was off, which it worked fine when I manually did save-on then save-all. A bash script I used to back up first disabled saving,etc. It seems if you try to save while saving is disabled it still says "save complete" etc so you are lead to believe it saved any updated chunks--when the opposite occured

hope this clears the issue up
