For some reason recently on at least one of my servers players have been telling me that when they connect or as they play items in their loadout will randomly get unequipped.



What happens:

1. Start TF2
2. Add items to all my cosmetic slots
3. Join my server with the issue

After I join, before I pick a team or class if I just look at my loadouts it will show most of my classes with items removed from their item slots. As well, this sometimes wont occur on connection and will happen during round start.

MetaMod:Source v1.10.6-devV
SourceMod v1.9.0.6226
Stripper v1.2.2

OS: Windows 2008 R2

Gamemode: Freak Fortress

I assume it's related to Freak Fortress, but I haven't touched it in years so I couldn't say.

My first thought as well, however I'm not seeing anything in the code that is doing shady stuff. Closest i've seen is using TF2_RemoveWearable but not killing the entity.
Plus this doesn't happen in a test server running the gamemode. Going to look through the difference of plugin lists.

Happens sometimes on our trade/idle server aswell.

I was under the impression the server had no real persuasion over what the client has in their loadout settings?
We've had issues with the item server every once and a while, nothing a reconnect doesn't fix. But also this happens and you can immediately reequip the cosmetics if you catch it.

Also, we don't run any plugins that give artificial cosmetics to players, the closest we do is remove them, change their iTeamNum or making them invisible.

You'd think so, but this is Valve... weird and unexpected side effects is the norm.
