Fast answer

The tracker describes underwater backpacks passing through textures, failing to float until approached, and a Recover Backpack risk involving a Buggy backpack. Identify the bag type before repeating a recovery action.

Save-safe order

  1. Stop moving away and identify teen versus Buggy backpack.
  2. Record death location, depth, terrain, and marker.
  3. Check issue IDs P20-43325, P20-40371, and P20-43479.
  4. Avoid repeating Recover Backpack when the Buggy warning matches.
  5. Protect the save and report the exact behavior.

01

Three different behaviors

One tracker item concerns terrain collision, one concerns floating/approach behavior, and one concerns the recovery command moving a Buggy backpack out of world. They need different evidence.

  • Teen backpack passes through underwater textures
  • Backpack does not float until approached
  • Recover Backpack affects a Buggy backpack

02

Recovery boundary

No universal recovery is promised. If the next test could move the only marker or overwrite a usable backup, stop and send the preserved state to official support.
