cannot loot dead bodies; sometimes temporary, sometimes permanently

[wahnsinn 3]

I have been playing on DE #00 (...) Berlin 36 for the first time today.

Encountered hackers (cherno on fire, shooting precisely through firestation walls, etc, see cheat report forum)

The issue in this thread is: I couldnt loot any bodies on the ground, as if they werent there at all.

There were numerous dead people around, some had weapons still in their hands. On approaching them, however, there is no option to check their gear nor their backpacks. This has happened to me on other servers before, and the fix was to simply wait next to the body for a minute or so, after which the bodies became lootable. I used to chalk that down to a network issue / high server load, whatever.

Today/on that server I stayed next to this one body for at least 5 minutes, nothing, did not even register (mouse wheel menu only shows the option to change to sidearm). The same when I tried another body for 2 minutes, and lots more bodies in one place for about 3 minutes.

Picking up normally spawned items worked fine, btw, as did interaction with other stuff (doors, water fountain).

Now the funny part: Another guy came up to me as I was waiting near a body, went to the body, grabbed the gun and shot me with it.

So .. in conclusion, I'm a bit puzzled here.. any ideas what causes this?

Same here, patch bug. Wait for fix.

Look at the body, zoom in with your right mouse button, use the scroll wheel at the same time. This overcomes the current bug and allows you to loot dead bodies.
