Update/Data Migration - inventory lost
After todays update / data migration, my characters inventory on my Open World is empty (i.e. I landed with the rocket again instead of spawning in my house). There was TONS of stuff in there I spent many hours on forging, including all titanium tools with level 2 augments each, a ton of new wooden pallisades, etc. Now it would be OK for me to re-farm this, but as opposed to my character, caves have NOT been reset, so all the raw material I would need to get my stuff back is not there. This is SUPER frustrating.

Brett MergedOn Dec 06 @SurviveIcarus posted, "This week we plan on publishing our data decentralization patch... Open World and Outpost sessions will NOT be affected."
I was in an Open World session that I had been working on for a number of weeks. In my inventory was a Tier 4 compound bow, two titanium Pickaxes (both with Tier 4 mods, one with titanium and the other platinum), two platinum pickaxes (both with Tier 4 mods, one copper and the other gold), a titanium knife, a titanium axe, a hunting rifle and a set of the hardened leather armor with various Tier 4 mods.
Since the post stated that Open World sessions would not be affected I shut down my game prior to the update with everything still in my inventory. When I restarted the game after the update I was back on the space station and everything in my inventory was gone. I spent a significant amount of time collecting resources and building up the items in my inventory, would it be possible to get them back? -

Markus DuftI do not have discord, nor do I fully (fully) read blog posts (you write a lot of them). I *do* play the game, and would have expected a WAY MORE prominent hint before stuff "just" disappears.

BrettAfter I posted I found a solution to my issue (below). I tried to update the post stating the my issue was resolved, but was not able.
Thank you for your assistance, you can close this ticket.
Here is what I found to fix my issue in the Steam Community Discussions:
1. Switching to the 'Centralized...' branch for the Icarus game
2. Log into your open world
3. Take the stuff that's on you and place it into a storage box so that it's not on your character and wait a minute (you can also press ESC to see when the last time it saved your game to make sure it saved). Exit the game.
4. Switch back to the master branch (none instead of Centralized...) and launch the game again, which migrates your character.
5. Your stuff should now be there in the open world if this is the first time you migrated your data. If it isn't, see step 6.
6. For people who have already migrated their data, follow steps 1 to 4. As an added step, you need to select a menu entry at the bottom of the main menu, <DEV> -

Elissa - Producer AdminUnfortunately Markus, we recommend reading patch notes and announcements for things like this, as we are a live service game and do update weekly. Thanks!
