Game mode: Any (I’m serious) Type of issue: Bug Server type: Any Region: EU
“Quick Loot allows you hover your pointer over a body, a loot bag or a machine and quickly loot individual or all items.”
Doesn’t work on bodies but bags works fine. Only I have this problem. Any other player I have talked about of this doesn’t have this problem.
I have tried reinstalling game (twice), changed disk locations (SSD & HDD), no mods btw. Hotfix that came today didn’t fix this. This bug have been a problem for me at least a week. Before this it worked so that I had to rehover my cursor on bodies but now nothing makes it work.
And yeah doesn’t open body inventory neither when trying to interact. Only when there’s a bag on the ground.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Kill any NPC
Trying to loot
Can’t loot at all
Have to harvest, for example, with skinning tool so the bag appears.
I must admit, your proof in the video is compelling. I have never experienced this, but what I did notice, was there was not a ‘preview’ of the loot when you hovered over the body. To me, that would be the first indicator something has gone amiss.
Before this morning’s hotfix, it appeared familiar; the body was not where your view showed it to be, but that is not the case.
Excellent report, Hanbill, but other than that, I cannot add anything, sorry.
No problemo. I have programmed little while (as student) but I have no idea where this bug came up.
Edit: a little weird sentence imo. I mean more like I have some experience when it comes to programming and can’t put my finger on how this could be possible
Yes, happens to me from time to time with a npc, but very random.
It’s like the given npc is empty, or better said, that the inventory hadn’t time to load in.
Harvesting the body then gives a lootbag that can be looted like normal.
But like said, this happens only to me very randomly, let’s say 1/50 or so.
I think you are right on track with this bug. Every now and then, a corpse won’t show any lootable content. I had not given that any importance until the OP mentioned it. I will try his chopping the body then looting method and see what happens too.
I have also had similar issues, but one important thing differs. I do get a preview window that says something along the lines of ‘Dead NPC’ The OP does not see this.
My assumption is that NPC had no loot to start with. I can try this, chopping the body, but do not expect to see a loot bag or find an empty one.
To me, that would be the first indicator of the difference between the two cases.
I am on a PS4. I notice many bugs, weird things. For example if I kill a NPC, sometimes I am unable to find the body. They blend into the earth. I try, but I give up. That is the issue I see relevant to this situation.
