Items disappearing

[Fyare]

Recently I have started on Arelith. Though I haven't played that much, I did notice one thing a few times after coming online: most of my items have disappeared.

The only items I still have left are Innate Ability, equipped clothing and Dagger (Iron). Everything else, including the Book of Deities, is gone.

After the first disappearance, I asked my friend about it, and he asked if I quit the game using Alt + F4. I did quit the game after using Alt + F4. So I made a new character (since I hadn't done much anyway), and played for a bit. After learning from my first mistake, I made sure to quit the game by pressing Esc > Exit to main menu > Exit. But the next time I logged on this character, the items were gone again.
I'm not entirely sure, but I might recall seeing in the event log that the items got removed, upon the second log in. I might have to check again to confirm this.

Does anyone know if this happens for a reason? Or if there might be a bug? I'm still pretty new at the whole game, so maybe I did make a mistake somewhere. If that would be possible... I'd love to get some help with this. ^^

Did you delete and remake a character with the same name?

I don't think Alt-f4 does it. That's pretty much how I always exit the game. Usually it's due to what TRM says above.

Same account, different character name. I never used the same name for characters at all so far.

This has a pretty through list of how crap disappears randomly

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2693

In addition to those examples...

Characters with the same name
Items that were held by characters from the same player disappear (aka: the anti-muling script)
Interacting with chests during periods of high lag.

Where did you buy the game?
What port are you using?

Figured those two things should be checked.

Sorry for the late response, I haven't been on my pc much the past few days.

I decided to make another character using a made up name I often use for other games to make sure the items won't be removed because another character with the same name exists. Made her last night, but I just checked and got the "item lost: *item name*" spam again, and all gone.

I got the game from GoG, and patched it to 1.69.

I guess the port you are asking for is the ClientPort number in the nwnplayer.ini file? I had to google that quick. A while back I changed it because I couldn't connect to the server, and found a link telling me changing the port would fix it. I changed 5120 to 9584. On the wiki it says "Change 5120 to some other whole number between 1025 and 65535." so I did that. It did help me get into Arelith, but I don't know if it caused this problem in stead?

I did make one character to do quick tests if I was able to get into the realm, which I deleted just now. This character did seem to keep the items. But one item all characters still owned, was the iron dagger. I guess it's worth checking if I can keep items again now.

Update: New character did keep items after a relog. Looks like the solution has been found. ^^

Sorry for the triple post, but a bump might help get back some attention.

The character that did keep her items after relogging, has still lost her items. The relog I did right after creating > log in > relog was probably too fast. This means it was not the anti-muling script after all...
