Dear Fuegox,
I want to express my gratitude for your assistance and feedback. You are a valued FVD player and member of our community, and I understand your frustration, especially given that the garrison command is also glitched.
Allow me to clarify a few points: The crashes began occurring frequently in January, consistently following the same pattern with each recorded instance involving a saved chapter. The frequency and consistency of these crashes suggest that they are not caused by someone manually triggering the save chapter or pressing F4, in other words, it is not someone trolling.
The crashes ceased after a server maintenance few weeks later, leading us to suspect that it may have been related to a server issue. However, this does not explain why the save chapter function is being activated automatically. Now, with the release of the patch, we are seeing the same pattern and frequency of crashes resurface. It’s important to note that FVD typically hosts around 60 lobbies a day.
The ideal solution would be to address the save chapter issue, as we’ve reported here: Save Chapter Glitch, or simply remove this option for custom scenarios.
Regarding the unexpected error lobby bug you mentioned, it is unrelated to the issues outlined in this report. It has been reported separately The lobby encountered an unexpected error and has been closed - #3 by thieftdp8498 and Players randomly dropping in custom game lobby - #31 by SadBearFVDCLUB.
We are actively collaborating with the official developers to resolve this situation, and I am confident that they are doing their best to address these issues.
Thank you once again for your understanding and support.
