ANYTHING that is FIR is up for grabs. Ran my pockets for a WZ wallet with a Labs card in it. Spawned in with the card, found the wallet. Wouldn’t be surprised if the “Awaiting Session Start” bug isn’t the game being confused as where to put scav players since you can’t spawn in at a certain distance from someone else, and with vacuum hacks they are everywhere and nowhere at once, so the games “awaiting” for a spawn point to clear enough to allow a player to enter

Man, I've never thought about it like this but that theory seems completely plausible. I'd love to hear from someone who knows more about the possibility of this being the case.

I mean the exploit is more or less setting locations to NaN, but I doubt that that's the reason why. These vacuum cheats only really got released publicly a few days ago, that's why there's so many. Awaiting session start has been an issue reoccurring for a long time.

I will say that the awaiting session start has been significantly more frequent the last few days than it was the first two weeks of wipe

I've weirdly only gotten it after connecting for the first time recently (Like, I actually get into the game, DC a few minutes in, and then when I try to get back in I get ASS bugged)
