For The Division, there has been an annoying problem with backpacks for days. Massive has now found a solution.
In social media and forums, Division agents have been complaining for days about a very annoying problem: They can no longer play the game because the “backpack bug” of The Division excludes them. Most players report that the error occurs when crafting a high-end backpack. After that, items disappeared and the agents were locked out.
The following video shows an agent whose backpack slot in the inventory is empty. This should not be possible:
At a later point, the agent wanted to log in again, but he could no longer enter the game. In a further, rather unspectacular Youtube video, the user shows an endless loading screen as proof that he is now locked out.
Massive has found a solution to the “backpack bug” in The Division
Over a week ago, Ubisoft’s Community Manager Natchai Stappers explained in the Ubi forum that the team is aware of this error and is working on a solution. However, community assistance is needed, which is why a separate “Infinite Loading / Crafting” thread for The Division was created, in which agents should detail their experiences.
And they did: So far, more than 138 pages have been filled, which seems to bear fruit: As Natchai now states in an update, the cause of this problem has been identified thanks to feedback from the community.
No patch has yet been released for the problem, but this is currently the “top priority.” The solution will be released “as soon as possible.”
Attention:
In the meantime, it is strongly advised not to create mods for items that you are not using!
Officially, no reason has been given. However, they thank for the cooperation and patience.
In the reddit forum, based on player feedback, it is pointed out that it is best to keep the backpack inventory minimal to avoid a lockout. The reason why unused items should not be carried with mods is, according to users, that the bug would damage the mods so much that they would suddenly take up additional inventory slots.
Thus, five modified weapons equipped with five mods could suddenly occupy 30 slots (because 5 weapons + 5 mods per weapon). This would overload the inventory so much that one could no longer log in. However, these are just reports from the community!
When the official solution will be released is still unclear. Scheduled maintenance will take place next Tuesday. However, the patch might also come at an earlier time.
