Outriders’ persistent inventory wipe issues and player impact after patch 1.05
The Persistent Inventory Wipe Problem
Outriders continues to struggle with a devastating inventory deletion glitch following the release of update 1.05, contradicting developer claims of partial resolution.
The inventory corruption issue that plagued Outriders since its demo phase remains active post-patch, with version 1.05 failing to prevent equipment loss – and potentially entire character progress – creating legitimate fear among the player base about simply launching the game.
The looter-shooter has faced multiple technical challenges since its April 1 launch, ranging from unstable servers causing widespread outages to various gameplay-affecting bugs. Most alarmingly, despite developer People Can Fly’s assurances about implementing corrective measures, numerous players continue experiencing complete inventory resets. Community tracking on Reddit reveals escalating concern, with an April 10 discussion thread amassing more than 5,000 responses from affected users – a clear indicator of the problem’s severity and persistence.
Beyond Inventories: Escalating Account Issues
Developers acknowledge the ongoing crisis with a new corrective patch undergoing testing, though they’ve provided no estimated timeframe for deployment. Meanwhile, disturbing new reports suggest the bug’s effects may extend beyond inventory loss, with content creator Born 2 Game documenting cases of complete account resets – though the exact scope of these catastrophic data losses remains unverified.
Player Protection Strategies
While awaiting an official solution, players can take several precautionary measures: Regularly back up save files to cloud storage (if available), avoid inventory management during peak server times when instability is more likely, and consider postponing high-value crafting or equipment transfers until stability improves. The community consensus suggests these temporary measures may reduce – though not eliminate – the risk of permanent progress loss.
With both inventory corruption and persistent server problems creating what many consider an unacceptable gameplay experience, the pressure mounts for People Can Fly to deliver comprehensive solutions before player goodwill erodes further.
