[SOLVED] [FS19] Players get contractor-status back after rejoining

[janfrekv]

- PC/Mac/PS4/XB1: PC

- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: Granting someone from other farm contractor access

- Issue: When contractor access is removed from a player from an other farm, he gets back his contractor-status when he relogs. He can then tab through all vehicles at the farm where previous contractor access was given.

- Single- or Multiplayer: MULTIPLAYER

- Steps to reproduce:
Grant someone from an other farm Contractor access to your farm. Let him do some work for you. Revoke contractor access. Save game. Have the other person relog. When he/she relogs, he/she is again able to browse your vehicles and access for instance your farmsilo's content.
As a sidenote; the txt in the box that appears when you remove the contractor access from a person is wrong - you have to press YES, and say you grant access to your farm - despite you are deleting access.

- Does it happen on a standard map without mods yes/no: YES


This will be a big issue if you get a rogue player in a farm, who can actually steal the content from your silos (for instance), and opens up for some SERIOUS exploits if you try to run for instance a competition between farms.
Also it is incredibly irritating to have to tab through other players' vehicles, despite they removed contractor-access last time you were on.

Best regards,
JFK

(just bumping this a bit - seems to be totally overseen in the BUNCH of other posts...)

Thanks for the info! This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Thank you!! Highly appreciated

Thank you Giants Team.

Is there an ETA on the next patch? or can this please come as a hotfix asap as it is absolutely necessary for the survival of servers. So many people have already gotten disheartened and cancelled servers and stopped coming online I almost cancelled mine today because of this as I went from full servers to completely barren servers within two days.

Thank you

So did this get released? contracting like this is still broken on our servers.

[janfrekv]

Same. We upgraded server (and clients, of course), to 1.1.3.0 - and the bug is still there. Maybe not so weird, since it (bug) was not part of the "fix-list" of the current patch. So - hopefully there will be a new patch including a fix for this, in not too long.

This needs to be fixed, going to can my public server in the next couple of days as there's no point.

^ there is a solution that works. Can confirm that contractor-status between farms are gone when following the steps above.
Haven't tested if theh problem will come back yet though (which I guess will happen). But anyhow, it's a temporary solution.

Here is copy/paste from the above thread:

Update - if you locate the file 'farms.xml' located in your savegame folder: (default) This PC>Documents>My Games> FarmingSimulator2019>

Check the specific Savegame# folder you are using.

Stop server.

Edit 'farms.xml' and look under each farm in there for the following, delete any grant access code lines
<contracting>
<farm farmId="2"/> (Or multiple lines for more farms, or specific farm ID)
</contracting>

To remove all contractor hosing, just wipe any <farm farmId="2"> or specific farm FarmID# you want to remove.

I removed all, so mine now looks like:
<contracting>
</contracting>

Save and reboot server.
Seems to have stuck now for me.
