Hi MrWillis89,
My apologies for the delay in responding to your post. Normally you do not need to tag me, as I get to every post as soon as I can, (I try to tag people when I move and reply their post in case the notification system doesn’t tell them) but if you ever feel I may have missed a post of yours, tagging me as you did should ensure I see it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my questions and share additional details on your experience.
Crates:
Based on the additional information you’ve provided, I believe this is the issue the team are currently working on regarding crates. From what I can see in the reports, not being able to see items inside, and items floating outside appear to be symptoms of the same issue. Hopefully when the team has a fix for this, it should resolve both problems. You are correct that the workaround of replacing items is only temporary and this issue can reoccur for players frequently. This is why I understand it is not ideal for players as a workaround as it is not a permanent solution and can take a lot of time out of each gameplay session.
Low FPS:
Between the low FPS and your description of what you see in game, it seems like you are desyncing from your friends game - which could be a result of the ping you were experiencing when playing.
When playing, have you tried switching to an Auto region or trying a different region entirely? Such as a US region? If there was any significant difference in gameplay after trying this, please let me know.
Toolbelt:
The team is working on this issue alongside other crafting menu issues. While the 2-4 toolbelt slots do not unlock for you, have you successfully crafted the slots by using the workaround of crafting the 1st slot again after reloading the game?
Grab command:
You mentioned losing this ability. I have seen other players report this issue but don’t yet have confirmation on if it was lost during gameplay or if it occurred from the start of a save.
Do you recall at what point you lost this ability, if anything significant happened in-game at the time or did it appear to occur over time?
Fuel display:
Can you confirm if the fuel level is seen the same way by both players?
A player reported recently that the water still meter was not displaying 1 drink taken correctly. I’m wondering if there is a similar error in the display for the fuel - if you continue to use the boat engine does it eventually show that the fuel is dropping or does it display as full the entire time?
Regarding your query about the next update release date - this has not yet been confirmed, however the team are working on organizing slots with Sony and Microsoft so the patch can be submitted to them (it can then take a few days for approval + release). I believe team members are also continuing to work on and test other fixes at the same time so some additional fixes might make it into the update before submission. As soon as I have confirmation on the release date and what the final contents of the update will be, I will create a new post in News and Announcements so the info can’t be missed.
Thank you again and also I am again sorry for my delay in responding to you.
