Can't pick up glowing loot on the ground

[Trymon]

Hi, I'm new to this game, and i was wondering if this was some kind of bug : sometimes, when i search a corpse or when i open a chest, there's some bright loot on the ground (actually, it shines), but i can't pick up anything and it won't disappear. Ca anyone tell me more about that ? Thank you. Otherwise, the game looks great, but the occasional stuttering (i've got a high end pc) keeps me frome really enjoying it at this time.

You may have common items hidden theres a button next to your hp bar.

Shiny objects; e.g., Vital Essences, Food Rations and Unfinished Meals, replenish Constitution.

It's the yellow tinge that overlays your health bar from time to time.

Unlike Tonics and Elixirs, the above-mentioned items cannot be stored—i.e., eat it or leave it.

Think he means weapons/items that have auras.

In fact, i don't really know if it's items or essences, or rations... i just see some light in mouvement. But thanks for your answers, you're very kind :-)

Sometimes loot will still glow even after you pick it up, chests do it alot after you open them. Sometimes the book alters you find will glow even tho you got the books on previous play thrus. Only way I found was to leave area and come back and mostly the glow is gone.

Actually, I think I know what OP is talking about. Often, when an enemy is killed I will physically see some type of loot spring out of them, but with no text attached (non-interactable, even on lowest common item show setting) and then a small glimmer with it.

I think this might be some kind of remnant of a chance of rolling for something when the enemy dies but it doesn't roll a 'yes' so you can't interact with it.
