Thrall and Pet Abandonment/Decay Disabling on gportal private servers

Game mode: [Online]
Problem: [Misc]
Region: [North America]


I haven’t found an official, concise answer to some of the questions that have popped up regarding Thralls and Pets (abandonment) on XBox One (gportal) private servers.

I have looked in the PC section as well just in case it was answered there. I have seen answers such as:

DisableBuildingAbandonment=True
DisableThrallDecay=True
ThrallDecayTime=1296000.000000

The former does not prevent Thralls from being abandoned (originally read that the two were tied together).
The latter does not exist on gportal servers (where the ini is only modified via the online user interface of gportal).

What are the steps to:
Disable Thrall Abandonment (they never decay/die based on lack of clan members logging into the game)
Disable Pet Abandonment (same as above)

I believe the method of preventing Thralls and Pets from dying due to starvation has been answered (and the system of decay moved to building decay).

Answers for PC aren’t applicable. Please, what are the tried and true answers (not the *should work but I haven’t confirmed) for XBOX One private servers on gportal.

Thank You Much


Steps on how to reproduce issue:

  1. Set DisableBuildingAbandonment to true in gportal’s xbox one server manager
  2. Wait more than 14 days
  3. Log In
  4. Check Event Log - Notice Thralls/Pets died due to no clan member logged in for a long time

Hey @CyberNigma

Welcome to our community.
We’ve issued some fixed with those settings in the upcoming parity patch. It should be available once it gets the greenlight in the certification process.

Thank You!!

Yes, I am looking forward to that and will probably keep the server offline until it hits so I don’t need to revert again.

I’m looking forward to it.

Hey there,

The patch is now out. Is this issue still happening after having updated?
