[Grunf911 1]

Date/Time: 2012/06/23 11:35 CET

What happened: Many faults regarding looting (Gear). See at bottom for detailed description.

- BUG 1#: Could not pick up item on floor (CZ & ammo)

- BUG 2#: When picking up shotgun (mouse wheel action) ammo disappeared

- BUG 3#: Could not pick up ammo on floor (2rnd shotgun shells)

- BUG 4#: Dropping all weapons when picking up a tool belt item

Where you were: Prigordky

What you were doing: Scavenging for weapons

*Current installed version: 1.7.1.5

*Server(s) you were on: DE 73, although saw it on all servers, but not with 100% repetition

*Your system specs: Core i7, 16G ram, Win 7 64bit, ATI 5570

*Timeline of events before/after error:

I spawned near Cap Golova, ran to Prigordky, In first barn found a hatchet, put it in my hands, then moments later found CZ, put hatchet on tool belt,

BUG 1#: tried to take CZ (using GEAR menu), pressed right arrow to get it in inventory, nothing happened, did not pick it up (despite the item was on floor, and it showed up in my gear panel on floor)

BUG 2#: Then i went to other part of building, saw 2 barrel shotgun, with 2 round sets. I picked up gun, using mouse wheel, but the ammo was not picked up (and it disappeared after gun pickup). I triple checked all of my inventory, ammo was not in.

BUG 3#: Then i entered barn (the building with 2x 2 ladders, and haystack, climbed up 1st ladder, saw 2rnd shotgun shells on ground, came over it, pressed G (for gear), saw it in the menu, pressed right arrow (on gui, not keyboard char) to loot it, again nothing happened. I could not get rounds

ONE NOTE: I did not see this behavior when i did not have hatchet (so it might be that tool belt/hand switching mechanism, budged out something) I am suspecting this due to BUG 4#, please read

BUG 4#: I have noticed that when i pick up tool belt item, i.e. watch, knife, compass, whatever, I DROP all weapons that i carry and their ammo. Rifle AND Pistol. It is as if i picked up another weapon.

The only joint thing i think between tool belt and weapons is the hatchet mechanic, at least i assume.

I hope my feedback will help iron out bugs with looting
