[2020] Lost characters after the 09.11.2020 update

We’ll be merging all posts regarding this issue within this thread as the issue has been determined and the developers are working on a fix with the highest priority, apologies for the inconvenience caused.

@Strider5599 as mentioned in the first post, creating new characters does not result in the loss of any server-side data, as the older characters persist in the database under a different ID.

The issue only affects players who join an online server, it should not affect singleplayer or coop, so updating the client should have no ill-effect if you play in those modes.
