I assume the world keeps going if you play on a multiplayer setting in Valheim as well, no? Could it be someone took your stuff? I am genuinely concerned about this, because if I were to die and lose my stuff now by a disappearing tombstone, I'd literally lose like 30+ hours of gameplay and it would likely break my seed since certain resources were super limited so far...

The way this bug works is your tombstone disappears from the map and from the location if you can remember where it was. It may have something to do with how quickly you exit. It is not easily reproducible, and it makes no sense.

I have died hundreds of times and this only happened to me once. I tried to reproduce it, going to the same location over and over and quitting as fast as I could after getting killed with no success.

How can a process that works hundreds of times suddenly not work? As a programmer, I would not want to be assigned this bug.

Give it to the new guy. Seriously. Fresh eyes. But they shouldn't work on it until the game is finished.
