So I had just been out with the Jumbo Shrimp(an Apache) and two of the guys(in the 2nd and 4th seat, respectively.), had been moved out to drive capped cars home.

When I then placed them in the Shrimp again back at home, my 3rd seat guy was still in his seat, but when I added the other guys they got the 3rd and 4th seat. I had two guys listed, then, as the 3rd seat.

I pulled all three out(Everyone besides the driver.), and put them in again, returning them to ordinary 2nd, 3rd, 4th, without heading out, so I couldn't tell if any bugs or weirdness would have ensued. Just pointing it out in case it would.

Lost a few good members here..
But!

On the looting page, I clicked on MY car and it showed normal people in it and reloads... I moved two people to the bottom of the page under the car, wanting to use them to drive looted cars away.

I clicked the first 'gunner' person icon and the car icon disappeared. I moved the second person into the same box.

When I tried to move the car Icon from the lootable box into my takeable box, the icon on that car disappeared also.

I dont have 1 tank and 1 stalker + weapons and armor because of this.

I'll deal with the member losses because they were hit and eliminated rightfully.

Sorry about that. Yes, 'disappearing loot icons' has been mentioned by a few people.

In 'gates of' missions, your characters never die just because they have no ride home. This is not the case in 'pure wilderness' missions, so this bug will be more serious then..

I had 4 people in this car.

gunners and drivers for looted cars.

No problem...
I need the cars and people but I also understand loss of usable stock is unavoidable!

No need to restore cars or people Sam..

I'll be able to remake my squad and cars once the game gets started again.

Any commentary on my bug? I'd like to know if it's something to be taken seriously or just a minor thing.

purple- yeah, sorry, I took note of it (I saw something like it before). It's minor, it won't affect anything since the first character spawned into the 3D game is always the driver, even if they're not listed as driver on the website.

But I already had a driver when I had that problem, I had two guys in the 3rd seat, I mean, if that wasn't changed, I could imagine I might be unable to use one of them in the fight or something.

Or does it also re-assign everyone to their respective seats, too? I would imagine so, seeing as how all of the non-driver seats really don't matter much.
