Purge fails after wave 1

Game mode: Online private
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvE
Region: NA


Purge appears to fail to find a suitable location or otherwise thinks there is a problem upon trying wave 2. This does not happen every purge but is affecting what appears to be a majority on the server. Below are some log notes from our server ConanSandbox log:

[2020.05.06-16.27.47:805][886]ConanSandbox: Purge Started at V(X=-233915.00, Y=3650.24, Z=-3536.69) for Clan 250, Using Wave A plague of locusts
[2020.05.06-16.30.18:510][296]ConanSandbox: Purge Failed for Clan 250, At Location V(X=-229994.64, Y=3793.53, Z=-3478.21), Using Wave A plague of locusts, Reason Failed Failed to find Home location
[2020.05.06-16.30.18:560][297]ConanSandbox: Purge Started at V(X=172007.45, Y=143068.16, Z=-14975.91) for Clan 3241, Using Wave A band of Lemurian Scouts

At 16.27 the purge found the base, but 3 minutes later it lost it and started purging another clan.

These are the other reasons we are seeing in our log:

[2020.05.06-16.00.04:777][501]ConanSandbox: Purge Started at V(X=-217750.00, Y=-6250.00, Z=-2165.61) for Clan 79398, Using Wave A clan of Cimmerian beast-tamers

The last one is particularly weird. We most certainly have players online in their respective clans when getting purged.

Our current purge settings are:
Purge Level: 4
Purge Delay: 1
No time restrictions.
Prep Time: 5
Purge Duration: 30
Minimum Number of Online Players: 1
Allow Building: Yes
Purge Meter Trigger Value: 10,000
Purge Meter Update Interval: 5

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide. Happy to help.


Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

  1. Start a purge.
  2. Complete wave 1.
  3. Check the map to see if the red X is there.
