So its definitely not cleaning up all weapons, in fact some people cleaned it all up manually, yet after server save and exit, they reappeared in greater numbers. Not sure whats happening but there was way more junk on the ground after a restart than there was before.

Should GC be clearing these up, or should they just not be getting persisted? Is there any variables I can monitor or functions I can run manually to see whats going on?

@zyg0tic Thanks for the tip I'll try that out.

I see. I'll look into it on my end as well to make sure I'm not misdiagnosing. They definitely get persisted, but it may just be that no one ever gets far enough away for GC to do its job.

Thanks for the reply.

GC seems to be working fine, dead bodies are collected. Its just weapons and magazines aren't being collected, and are instead being persisted.

On our server when people abort instead of player exit, it drops all their gear on the ground. Also people are just messy. After a few weeks the map is cluttered with 1000s of items strewn about the map and the base.

Is there a way to blacklist certain classes from being persisted, or perhaps add them to the list of things that will be considered by the garbage collector?
