Unable to pick from shallow water?

Post by slavewebel1 »

After killing an animal in shallow water, I am unable to pick it up?

Would this be new thing to stop cheesing? Or is this a bug?

It's because the devs make dead animals sit on the ground, which for small ones makes them below the water line.
A solution would be to make dead animals in water float at 1/2 their height.

Workaround is to pick them up through the minimap, when using a client that displays them there.

It's arguably a bug. We have talked about a fix for it. Will happen at some point.
