Dropped items not showing up on the ground :(

Hello all,

I have the following issue and would like to put this out there to see if anyone else has encountered this, know of it, know what to do about it, etc.

I have, since I started playing, always had some trouble with not being able to see items that get dropped. I notice this most often with potions, when a team member might drop a pill or a pot for me, and I will then proceed to run around aimlessly saying, "I don't see it you didn't drop it you lieee!"

This isn't usually a problem as they'll stand next to it and tell me I'm being a dumb. Actually, if I look very carefully, I can see the item's shadow, but not the item. So that's fine.

Today while on my solo adventures walking through a cleared area, I suddenly picked up a random green shard! Visually there was nothing there, I just chanced to walk on it, or else I would have missed it completely and gone off, 1 green shard poorer.

Can someone enlighten me? I now suddenly feel like I've been missing out on a lot of loot. Sometimes if I'm running stuff with my bro he'd tell me I keep forgetting to pick up stuff, but I thought I was just being lazy? But maybe I'm just not seeing them?

:( :(

This sounds like it could be a video issue. First, try toggling Compatibility Mode under Options/Advanced Video Options. It that does not result in anything try updating your video drivers. Instructions for figuring out your video device, if you do not know, can be found here.

I encountered this today and decided to take some screenshots. I know the default response is for me to update my drivers, etc, but I've been hearing that maybe I'm not the only one. So I figure I better put this out there just in case it will help people to notice as well so that they might find out they have this issue too.

Sometimes all I notice is a small shadow of the item that should be there, or just these sparkles. When I pass over, I will pick up the item.

Hi, this is Mango's brother.

Hi, this is Mango's brother. I've also had this happen a couple times on a completely different PC set up, though not as often as mango. I could also just be noticing it less because I'm not as observant.

What video cards do you have

What video cards do you have in each setup and what version drivers are you running?
