There’s a server you always play on, and the next time you log in, it asks you to create a character as if you’ve never logged into that server before. If you create one, it will overwrite the previous one. Log out and log back in.
This has happened to a few people, and I experienced it too. It’s happening after the UE5 update. When it happened, instead of creating a new character, I shook it off and went back to the menu.
I logged back into the same server. And this time it started me where I was supposed to be, inside my base. But I couldn’t interact with any items, see inside the chests, or open the stalls. I logged out and logged back in. And finally, I could open the doors and see inside the chests. It seems to me that these problems are due to the server’s slowness. Two maps were merged, but the server’s RAM, processor, and disk speed haven’t increased, or are insufficient. Just a thought.
