Not dropping items on death?

[Nyxtus]

Just got the game on Steam (Been on GOG for a while), I've noticed on Standard difficulty settings I'm dropping a Grave on death but my items are in my inventory perfectly fine. This the case for anyone else?

Is there a grace period when you start a save where it works this way? Don't want to lose my items when I die, so I don't want to pick the more difficult setting but having my items not go into my grave is a little too easy.

u probably chose relaxed, so it's this way

there is no period, it's either that or this

Naw, I made a custom difficulty based on Survival and set death consequences as Standard. I still drop the grave, but there's no items in it because they never left my inventory.

I don't know the answer to your question but I am rather curious about your adventure. You say you've been on GOG for a while first.
Did you die on standard difficulty much on GOG?
How are you dying now on steam?
I think how to prevent that is the real question. I know things happen but you seem to imply that it happens fairly often (?).

There is a new game dynamic that if one inventory fills up, it will switch to another. Haven't died in a long time so maybe the reverse could be happening? You might check your ship inventory. Also, is the grave actually empty when you open it?

That sounds like a bug or glitch. The game does glitch out on occasion and all is better with a reload. I define a bug as constant. It does not go away on a reload. Not sure it is worth dying to test it.

The game does get confused in MP at times. If you are playing near someone in creative mode, it may be co-mingling the two modes. You get a grave, but no items transfer to it because it is trying to sync with your auto-group.

I play normal most of the time and I don't think I've ever had my items ever drop after death... it's weird.

I completely reinstalled Windows in attempt to fix this. I had issues with previous saves, deleted every save and reinstalled Windows fully in an attempt to prevent anything from the previous install from carrying over.

As far as dying, I've tried most different ways. Falling from height, hazardous flora, drowning etc. I always drop a grave but I never actually lose any items. Survival Death Consequences work properly (deleting my inventory), but I can't for the life of me get the Standard Death Consequences option to work properly.

100% success rate replicating this. The setting worked properly with GoG, but stopped working properly a day or two ago. This actually prompted me to get it on Steam to see if it would be the same issue here, and it is.

If it was a rogue config somewhere you'd think the clean reinstall would get it, but here I am. Googled for hours, no results. Nobody having a similar issue to me. Looking at the responses it looks like that's the case here too.
