unable to pick up items from world - FIXED

[mr Green]

hello, this is my 3rd day playing this awesome game, and i have not yet encountered any issue on the 1st and 2nd day. Today is different. I just loaded my save file from yesterday, and the first couple of items i encountered, i can no longer pick up. There is no more key displayed in the screen when i approach the objects (used to be "E - Loot") but for some reason it stopped working. I made no changes what so ever, tried loading a different save file, tried rebooting game, tried "verify integrety of game", tried rebooting pc, tried reinstalling game, tried ro asign a different key to primairy interaction; and now i am out of options....

below a list of screenshots, of items, that lost the ability to interact with....
materials
small loot
loot box
boat
weapon rack

edit: on a sidenote, there are still a few things i can interact with. for example slain animals, dead npc and quest npc...

BUT,,,
i do find myself able to loot a slain NPC from miles and miles away, see the screenshot below:
loot a fallen npc from miles away

FIX - EDIT,
it might be one of 2 things, either a assigned the primairy button 'E' as 'e' or i finished the first quest received from Elpenor, somehthing about a 'shroud of zeus'. after re-asining the prim interaction without caps on, i returned to Elpenor and returned the shroud wich he allowed me to keep (this was in a cut scene, and maybe that restored everything)

I guess it is something to do with the game thinking you are in a state where you cant interact with anything (like a cutscene) and thus disables the "interact" button. Somehow fast traveling or the short cinematic played while jumping into the leaf pile reset it.

Hey Mr Green,

Thanks a lot for your detailed post, and updating it letting us know you fixed it. I will be sure to pass this along to the game team to get that looked into. Let me know if you have anymore issues, and I hope you're enjoying your journey through Ancient Greece otherwise.

i hope for a fix in the coming week.

[mr Green]

did you also had this issue, when you had the quest about a "shroud of zeus" ??

it helps to mention when/where u encountered this specific bug...

Thanks for mentioning that, mr Green

This kind of information definitely helps when looking into these issues.

Hi, I had same issue. I accepted same shroud of zeus quest or w/e it was. Tried calling for my horse which never came. I ran for a bit and discovered I could no longer pick up items with e.
Tried restarting game, computer, reassigning "interact" button, nothing helped.
I had previously picked up a side quest to get a necklace from a shark. I went to do this quest, and found that not only could I loot a dead wolf on the way, I had no trouble looting anything while under water. As soon as I was back on shore, still had the same issue.

I then fast traveled to the top of the huge statue, jumped into the leaf pile below, and suddenly could pick things up again.

I guess it is something to do with the game thinking you are in a state where you cant interact with anything (like a cutscene) and thus disables the "interact" button. Somehow fast traveling or the short cinematic played while jumping into the leaf pile reset it.

I hope this is enough info for devs.

i remember i also had the necklace/shark quests 'open' while working on the shroud thingy...

some other things worth mentioning, after playing 76 hours in the last 12 days...

sounds :
- loot in the water..., i would like to see the option to change the frequency its mentioned,, cause usually i go right for it, and even then its saying stuff like, there is loot, should we grab it...
- when i go material hunting on horseback, i go fast/slow/fast/slow and the sound of the horse is annoying the freaking crap out of me.

statistics :
- i miss a page, where i can see my overal (gear) stats...; would love to see this in an easy list. (including engraved optional stats)

arena :
- currently, i noticed only 6 guys to fight in it..., 5 ranked and a mercenary. i miss the option, to just go head to head with 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 enemies in 3, 5 or 10 waves... (maybe optionable difficulty selection) ---- combat is not my forte --- i am a button pusher and mainly its only lmb,lmb,lmb,lmb,lmb and the arena would be a nice place to try some new things.

Thanks for that extra information, guys

I think you are right, it seems to have you stuck in another animation it seems.

You should be able to see at least some of the Stats from the bottom of the inventory page.
