I haven’t played in a long time but I saw the new update and decided to play around, unfortunately I can’t interact with containers or wood containers. Not the red shipping containers but stuff like lockers, rations pouch on raft, ship consoles, wood containers, cabinets, basically anything that has items in it that can be searched. Instead my inventory opens. Everything else seems to be working as I can pick up loose items and harvest fine. Crafting menu works fine too I’ve tried a new save, a new map, exclusive w\open GL, exclusive w\x11, borderless windowed both ways and reinstalling did nothing. _Seed_ Doesn’t matter as it happens every time on every map _Settings_ No mods or altered settings besides basic turning the graphics all the way up _Steps_ Just happens as soon as you launch _Extras_ -Have you tried reloading your save, game or PC? - Yes -Have tried reinstalling the game? - Yes -Is there anything else you tried to alleviate the issue? Please let us know whether it was successful or not.- Changing keybinds did nothing. -Please feel free to provide any other information you feel may be relevant to this issue. -Images / Links - If you have any images or clips of the issue happening, please include them. - I have video but don’t know how to attach. While recording I caught another bug. When I picked up the crate to show stuff works it disappeared when dropped, which hasn’t happened before. ---

I have the same issue and the inability to use containers is kind of game-breaking, it’s been over a month, any update on this? ---

Hi bASHer, Is this issue in Single Player or Co-Op? Is this from a new (0.90.10) save or a pre-existing save? ---

Are you able to open the wooden (on the ground) crates? It’s the same key for those on-ship containers. ---

It’s all containers like my original post said; crates, consoles, raft pouch, nothing opens. Instead my inventory opens even when I set the inventory and use keys to something else it doesn’t work ---

The game uses the same key for the inventory and opening containers. To open a container you have to get the on-screen prompt like this. Do you get it? ![20220324114833_1](https://forums.strandeddeepgame.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/47a1b42b2e95e314f7ccdb3a0f2f12612ce6b0dd.jpeg) ---

Thanks for the gifs PieWasHere. Can you confirm that you are _holding_ the key/button rather than just pressing it? I believe it needs to be held down in this case. Other menus such as the crafting menu, do not need to be held. ---
