Platform: PlayStation 5
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Online Official
Server Type: PvE
Map: Exiled Lands
Server Name: 3730
Bug Description:
I cannot place items. I’ll go to drop an item, and some other item will drop. If I try and set a bedroll to my hotbar, it returns to my inventory, even if the space in the hotbar is open.
Bug Reproduction:
Open inventory. Hit triangle to drop something (putrid meat). Look at what was dropped. See (bark) or some other item from my inventory. Other issue – Hit L1 and clear a space in my hot bar. Go into inventory. Try to assign something placeable to the empty slot. It blinks and returns to my inventory.
I have a private PVE server, and there is no issue. Which is weird.
I have. I found leaving things unsorted usually fixes this issue, but I’ve had instances where it still was buggy, and I had to cycle through sorting and not-sorting, especially when accessing boxes/benches that are sorted… I have a private server and play solo too, and neither of those settings have this issue. I am surprised an official server is having this happen. Thank you!
I don’t know… You Guys got a full description of the problem, easy to understand, well elaborated - are you just buying time now, by asking for a Video proof?
I don’t mean to be rude here, but instead playing CE I got the feeling this Game turns into the “Neverending Story of the (in) glorious BUGS. CE,” The Bugs Life"…
Thanks for bringing up this topic. And I just wanted to say - your elaboration of the problem was easy to follow, now let us wait for another bu… ERHH I mean, “solution”.
I’m not sure how a video would be helpful in this case because the video isn’t going to show the cause. This has been reported across all modes of play since AoW Chapter 4 when the inventory changes were rolled out.
There’s no consistency on when this bug appears. Sometimes it’s when I’m building. Sometimes when I’m in a dungeon. Sometimes when I’m just exploring. I only know it happens when I attempt to manipulate my inventory (drop, swap hotbar items, or build). If it’s when I’m building, it’s extra fun because the UI tells you that you’re missing materials because it can’t “see” them even if I can when I open my inventory. I’ve been extra careful about dropping trash because of this bug but I’ve still lost things because the wrong thing ended up in a bag. Combined with the removal of custom sort (and no, “no sort” is not the same thing because it’s not persistent) and inventory management takes way longer than it used to, is more of a headache, and a major turn off to playing. I have a much harder time looking in my inventory to find the things I want.
OP, when this happens to me, I usually remove my helmet. The FPS tanks for a second and seems like the game completely freezes and then my helmet pops back on my head. Usually that “fixes” the issue for me, for a little while. But it’s such a pain. I’d really love all these horrible inventory UI changes to be reverted.
Glad to see it helped some. Playing over the weekend didn’t have any problems but that’s on my private server didn’t make a difference originally no one I was playing with mentioned a problem. After so many bugs over the years I may be working around it with out realizing it I’ll always check my dropped loot bags. @AmonAmit
Why would you need a “video”? The player described very clearly what’s happening. This same BS inventory issue has been chronic for me for months, since at least 2 updates back in Age of War. I’ve got over 5500 HOURS logged in Conan Exiles the past 5 years… obviously love the game but it’s too annoying to play now b/c of a simple inventory glitch Funcom can’t be bothered to fix while rolling out new & less needed bug-filled features.
