Missing Weapon Bug on specific maps/modes

[lywit]

In this thread I will attempt to track on which maps the USE_LOAD_BUNDLE_BUGFIX does not work to fix the missing weapons bug with the latest version of Funbots .

So far someone reported through Discord that Damavand Peak on the Rush gamemode still has the issue despite using the fix.

Maps not working at the moment:

• Damavand Peak

Thanks a lot for starting this!
Do we have an easy way to test for this behavior or is it still just playing with a huge amount of bots?

Yes, right now the best method I've found is to run a server with as many bots as possible, but it can still take a while to occur.

Decreasing spawn timers can help :)

Always validate without the load bundle fix first, so that the bug definitely occurs with your server config.

I get this bug too.
The bug only occur in the maps with vehicles.
When the bug occur, the VU console will print lots of logs as below:
