Fix crashes

Why are there so many crashes

Unreal Engine uses a networking process called replication to sync stuff between players. This doesn't network everything at the same time.

If two players are on a server and player 1's shirt loads in on player 2's game (for example), we want to set it up so the shirt's color is synced to player 2.

The clothes color is on the item itself in player 1's inventory.

If the shirt loads before the inventory loads, there's no color data, so a crash could happen.

This is infrequent & preventable, and we often check and test to ensure this never crashes. Most of the game is secured against this. However if even one part of the code has this bug, the game can crash.

We made the inventory data code a lot faster in a recent hotfix but that had the result of causing all these crashes.

Why did I crash specifically

As of this writing, based on people who crashed and submitted the crash reporter in the last 12 hours:

929 of you crashed because a firearm's attachments didn't load properly
61 of you crashed because someone shot a firearm that hadn't fully loaded
25 of you crashed because someone reloaded a firearm that hadn't fully loaded
9 of you crashed because the UI was trying to display the item count for an unloaded item
26 of you crashed because you tried to dismantle an unloaded item
6 of you crashed because you tried to equip a desynced item to a utility slot
72 of you crashed because of a low level Unreal Engine rendering bug, or you ran out of VRAM
Around 50 of you crashed because of an Unreal Engine low-level bug

The above has been fixed (at least the item related ones).

Thank you for submitting your crashes. Without them we would not have been able to detect or fix these easily.

Will multiplayer crash from this problem after this update

Probably not. We have rolled back how we access inventory items with this hotfix. This may result in some weird desync in multiplayer but at the very least it won't be unplayable anymore.

Cooking Oil stuck in pan, cannot get it out!

So I have an excess of 40ml of cooking oil in my Cast Iron Pan, and no matter what EMPTY fluid container I try to use to empty it, the game says NO. So now I can no longer cook any meals unless it requires cooking oil. Can some help me please? I know this game is in early access, but the rate of the bugs I keep encountering is baffling, not to mention the constant freezing for 5-10 seconds solid.........
