I've seen this one today for the first time by myself but it happened to friends two or three times in the last weeks.

The issue - when you take an item, it doesnt stick to the mouse, it just disappears. It is still there, and reappears when you drop it somewhere in your inventory. ACtually I think the mouse cursor doesnt show either when the object is picked up, so you have to place the item by heart.

The info I can provide

I think we saw it even before the last version update.

It happen suddetly, game works fine and then it happens.

I think it always happened when in a party. Never going solo.

It fixes only when restarting game.

Interesting!

If I understand you correctly, is it just the "held item" (item held by the mouse cursor) that is invisible, and when you place it, the mouse cursor pointer becomes visible again?

Does this only happen when picking up items from the after combat "loot window", or does it happen when picking up items that are already in your inventory?

Do you play on windows, mac, linux?

Do you play in full screen?

You understood correctly, it's only the held item.

Playing on Windows, windowed.

It happens both when picikng new stuff and when moving from inventory. It doesn't happen always, it's actually not commo, but once it happens, it stays every time you hold something till you close the game.

One more thing to add> it always happened when being in a party. It happened twice to me yesterday, I was in a party of four. It seems to START always when picking loot after a fight, but keeps there also in inventory moves.

Never happened when going solo.

Well that's very intruiging.

Are you leading the party when this happens? If not ... does it ever happen to the leader?

Now that you say it... I usually lead the party, and never happened to me, but it did to some ally. These last days I've been playing but not leading and it happened to me a couple times, so maybe you are following the right thread there.

This is getting very interesting.

I spent an hour yesterday evening trying to repeat this bug with a party of two, but could not get it to work.

What other things might prompt it? Can we make it repeatable?

Maybe it has something to do with teleporting while a party follower is picking up a loot item?

Or maybe it has something to do with moving while the party follower is closing the loot window...?

No idea, I haven't been able to repeat it at will. No hints about it being related to teleporting or moving, it just seems to happen. I'll have my eys open about that.

Another thing we realized now that you mention it is that a party member can use teleport, teleporting everyone, while a member is looting. That closes the loot window and the one looting loses the loot. It's not a bug, but maybe that usually annoying 'member is not ready' would come in handy xD

One friend was looting some unique item and got really pissed off.

WELL! That shouldn't be possible!

I can at the least fix that. Thanks for letting me know.

So I reviewed the code. And it should not be possible to ever teleport when a party member has the loot window open. Ever.

I made a small tweak to the code to reduce the number of times that you will see the annoying repeated "member is not ready" message (sometimes it would display up to four times per teleport attempt!).

Other than that ... let me know if you continue to see this. There may be a bug in the way that the server records whether a player has closed the loot window ... I can't imagine that is the case. But I can't think of any other thing that would cause teleport to be castable!
