Cosmetic items unequipping from loadout

Ever since they removed the set loadout of Hat/Misc/Misc to Whatever/Whatever/Whatever, mostly cosmetics have been disappearing from my loadout when I play the game.

Is there any fix for this? It's a recurring issue, and I've had friends who've experienced the same thing.


Not sure if this problem persists to you to this date, but for completeness purposes:

A teammate of mine having this problem found out that Items tend to not unequip themselves when you don't put them into Loadout slot A, but slots B-D instead.
