Valuables - also valuables disappearing

[ZAToM]

hello,
basically i wanted to make 2 topics but they are both about valuables so i hope ill get it both cleared in one topic

1. about valuables in general,
at the beginning i gave some random to random npcs, now i looked up the list and only give when its worth 5 points.
did i destroy anything major with wasting random valuables? i think i only the weapon rewards are important to me, but im not sure if i missed something good while i was reading through.
and how does it even work? when i have 5 points, can i take all rewards that are worth 5 points or do they get "used up" ?
and what is the blood stuff each one has? can i get it from somewhere else after i have "unlocked" it or is it gone after i use it?

2. i am SURE some valuables are disappearing for no good reason
i went to home base and i looked on wiki and i gave away valuables and i because my brain is bad i always looked up about 2-3, gave them to the npcs and then i tabbed out and looked up the next 2-3.. and one time 2 i looked up were gone. i thought im stupid that i mixed up or something and that i didnt have them in the first place
but whatever. i kept doing what i did
i clicked on give valuables to see what i have, tabbed out, looked up who to give the next ones
and at one point i couldnt get back out of the dialogue menu, so i alt+f4 to quit the game.
and that stuff i did was not safed. but the 2 valuables i thought i didnt have in first place were there again and another one i just gave to louis before alt+f4 was gone and he had no trading points after so it was not safed from before. :(

sorry for wall of text, should have made 2 topics on 2 days probably

1) valuables are farmable, go in the depths and kill things for old world materials and trade them to merchant npc at the outer crossroads

2) unless you're encountering a bug they shouldnt be disappearing like that

phew! so its not a limited ressource and i can farm them over again, thats really reliefing..

well i had 3 valuables that i lost on 2 situations, once "for no reason" and once after alt+f4 but i got the first ones back..

it came to my mind maybe i got the one valuable by giving away the others on accident before...? but that shouldnt happen neither afaik. anyways, bug or not, its nothing major if i can refarm it thanks a lot :D

I've noticed it for some time now. Most recent example was with 5 aged brandy's and when i was about to give it to a companion , i noticed it was down to 2 for no reason.

YEP!! they are disappearing. around 20 times now its happened. once being just now. I only had pungeant cheese and curios novelty. I gave the cheese to davis and went over to io to give the novelty and it was gone. I noticed it many many times before so decided to keep an eye on it on the next giving run. not sure why they are disappearing but its getting annoying.

I think I recall mention of when leaving the npc menu it could still be active while running around, and pressing the intract key would give them to npc.

I think the person who mentioned it said they still heard menu sounds while this happened.

I heard this too. I did take not when assessing the situation regarding this issue. no sounds were heard though.. im pretty sure that youre on to some thing as the game has cpu-gpu latency issues and I think it is something to do with input-cpu-gpu latency

Valuables don't disappear, it's a bug with menus where you actually don't quit the menu.
It's easy to prove with the fact that you will hear UI sounds even when the menu is no longer visible and you're away from the character.

Only way to "fix it" is to spam menu close button until you stop hearing UI sounds.

You probably had instances where you gave some valuables, closed the menu, went up to another npc and wanted to talk with him but the interaction key did nothing when you pressed it - well that's because you're still in the item menu giving items to the other NPC.
