Interesting backpack bug

[l mandrake 9]

SUMMARY OF BUG:

1. AKM in backpack (Coyote). MP5SD in hand + 2 mags.

2. Stop to pick up loot - drop a can of pepsi and pickup painkillers into free inventory slot.

3. Check backpack: AKM replaced by cloned MP5SD (I now have 2 MP5SDs and no AKM)

4. Try to drop cloned MP5SD from backpack: both MP5SD's disappear (their mags too).

5. I now have no weapons :)

Long-winded version for people who are bored at work:

I've had stuff disappear from my backpack before, that bug is well known. Today, however, while playing a certain post-apocalyptic zombie mod for ArmA2, I was happily carrying an MP5SD plus 2 mags in my inventory, and an AKM with 6 mags in my Coyote backpack. What happened next is actually quite impressive....

So, I have the MP5SD my hand, I stop to examine some loot - I drop a can of pepsi and pick up a box of painkillers - I leave the area....and decide to switch to my AKM...but it has vanished. I check in my backpack, and instead of my AKM there is a second MP5SD in there.... so now I suddenly have TWO MP5SDs and NO AKM.... ok.....at least I still have my prized silenced MP5 that took so long to find...

I try dropping the cloned MP5SD from the backpack and - hey presto! - BOTH MP5SD's vanish into thin air, along with their mags. Within two minutes I have lost all of my primary weapons and ammo. Talk about adding an extra level of challenge to the game ;)

Guys, you know I love you all in an unnatural way, but please try to sort this backpack crap out for Arma 3 :rolleyes:

So, are you trying to troubleshoot something? Or is this a bug report? If it's a bug report, I recommend using the CIT to report it.
