Anybody else lost their entire crate collection? - I had about three pages of the things (I know), then pow!, crates no more.

It happened after my backpack went missing for a few minutes. When it returned I just had a single page of items in my inventory with a nag screen telling me to upgrade if I wanted to increase my item count. When I started up TF2 the following day all my regular drops and hats had returned, but no crates.

I'm really not worried about them tbh but I've never had items just disappear and never return on me before. If my trusty bonesaw goes missing I'll go positively apocalyptic.

How could your bonesaw go missing, it's a default weapon...

Sorry, should have stated it's a strange bonesaw. It was given so I guess it could be taken away I guess.

Ah of course. Anyways, how odd...

Never heard of that :S
I assume you had a "pay to play" account, as I seem to remember playing with you before the F2P invasion... If it hasnt returned yet, consider posting on the steam forum, this shouldnt be accepted like that.

Yep - I have the orange box version of TF2. If some of my regular drops start disappearing, then I'll post over at the steam forums but as they're only crates I'll just let it go for now.

I think people on steam forums would advise you to contact Valve through their support system rather than the forum.

The 'report a bug' page in TF2? - thanks K3D, I completely forgot about using that.

Report posted - the good news is I might get my missing crates back, the bad news is I'll have a stockpile of crates again.

Not report a bug...

Oh dear, and the pilfering continues. I've now lost 2 refined and a strange syringe gun with 400+ kills (mostly Boris).

Cheers K3D - I'll use that link and see if I get anywhere.
