Box Bug

[GunnersRage]

While sorting at times, the box gets stuck in my hands and is unable to be dropped/placed. If you die/respawn the box is lost to the void along with all its contents. Not sure if someone has a work around, but wanted it to be known.

I also seen that bug, i was unable to do anything but kill myself. But it occur to me only 2 times in like 8 expeditions.

similar bug where boxes i picked up from my storage just disappeared. lost a bunch of good ammo to that one

workaround to this is to only grab empty boxes and using those to loot from otherwise valuable crates, the bug happens as soon as you've picked up a crate so an empty one won't trouble you

I appreciate the community update on the topic especially for a demo. It has been one of maybe 2 things that have put me off so far ♥. Great game so far and really enjoying it with the squad.

I just want to know what weapon decided to make F the main interaction button but not have F open a container but make you carry it about in your hands. Why the ♥♥♥♥ am I holding tab to do the main interaction I'm going to want to do in a game that's primarily about looting.
Literally loaded the game up, saw that god awful decision and decided it probably isn't worth the effort

ok so if ur mech is walking around dont pick up boxes they will desync, so yh use the tab instead, also dont drop item in your mech floor always use the storage racks or item will desync.

me n my buds where extracting and my on bud disconnected and my other bud died and i was stuck floating in the air where the walker used to be, now when i load up the game is just sits me at a loading screen at 86%. and my other buddies can launch another expodition

I'd like to just put this out there, this is a free demo so there will be bugs. The fact I got an answer from the team about what I consider a game breaking bug is a great step forward. For the tab inventory it doesn't bother me as it's a standard in looter shooters dealing with big inventories/multiple inventories such as DayZ. If anything I think having an area search with tab while not looking at something in hands would be a nice addition. That and an inventory lock on when looking at a box while using tab while the walker is moving, but then again being able to pull things out on the move should be part of the skill level.

Remember the main focus of this discussing was the boxes bugging out and losing everything in them. Thankfully its known and being worked on.

F to climb the ladder, F to open the door, go to get the stuff out the box, press F and take the box in your hands...
No. That's not a feature, that's a ♥♥♥♥ up of galactic proportions...
There's just no need for it at all. Nothing to do with whether the walker is moving either... It's just one of the dumbass decisions some genius has come up with so they can be "different"

I don't know why you are so mad at something that is very common... It is literally the "Interact" button. Tab is the "Inventory" button. If that's a big issue for you, I suggest not playing most, if not all, extract shooters.

[[GR8]Crimson4563]

I've played every extraction shooter out there... Tab does indeed open the inventory.
F will always open doors and containers. The smart thing literally every other game does is when you open a box, it automatically opens the inventory for you to pick stuff up... Cause it correctly assumes you probably aren't just opening it out of curiosity for a look inside, but to loot it.
And not a single one makes you hold a button while you do so.
It's awful design, plain and simple

[GunnersRage]

like i said, not a huge problem. crates are things that are a storage. is it inconvenient to hold tab while looking at it, a little, but it isn't the end of the world or what you say "awful design". just not going to agree on this. Also the fact this is a game that you can take a crate, stock it full of arty rounds and take that crate to multiple arty's and fill them is useful with this setup, along with easily looting multiple items on the ground with a crate in hand. To me this setup just makes sense.
