Can't see loot on ground

[Dunga321]

Is anyone else having a hard time seeing items that drop on the ground after battle? I have tried using the alt key or whatever in-game key that is supposed to light up anything on the ground but it does nothing for me. I have to take my mouse cursor over every square inch of the battlefield afterwards.

I have to say that the inventory/crafting/item management is by far my least favorite part of this game. Other than that, I am enjoying it.

It did happen to me 3-4 times in the 300 hrs i played this game. Its a rare bug, was always back to normal once i restarted the game.
Inventory and item management are just stupid in this game, try to ignore them, they are not THAT bad.
Crafting/smithing is just underdeveloped and silly-designed, but despite that, its a very useful tool that can help you become overpowered.
Unlike what you would expect, for the most part, the useful items you can make are consumables.
The rest of the crafting/smithing advantage lies in improving and upgrading your equipment, not in creating fancy new stuff.

The left Alt key should show equipment, gold, potions, etc on the ground (not all items will be highlighted, though). Were you trying the right Alt key?

usually the only way this happens is from smoke/clouds etc, if there is a lot of fire, cast a rain spell after the fight (even if you just throw in 1 pint of hydro if you don't have a mage, its well worth it). alternatively, just move your mouse around on the ground in top view mode and the cursor will change to the loot symbol, so that's an easy way to identify if there is anything there as well as just getting up close, smoke/clouds etc work like blind does, its completely irrelevant if you're right net to them, its just a vision reduction, not a vision removal.

Thanks for the responses all. I reset the keys to default and it now works as intended. I must have been messing around with it at some point and changed something. Thanks again.
