Items that are dropped to the ground, sometimes appear not till several minutes have passed
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Yesterday evening I thought I have lost a primary weapon, as it vanished in the moment I dropped it. Fortunately, the server restarted a couple of seconds after this incident (server has persistence enabled).
After I rejoined, the weapon was right before my feet.
Then I remembered that a pants I dropped earlier didn't appear as well and I thought it was gone for good.
The same happened half an hour later with another weapon. Very unsettling, the delay is none to several minutes.

Steps To Reproduce
  • Latest experimental
  • half full to full server helps because message queue is full
  • drop item or weapon on ground
  • check the time it takes to make the item a) visible in vicinity b) accessible
Additional Information

I am not sure what role the player count has - I could literally feel the responsiveness of the server going down as more and more people joined (50 slot server). Hotbar went from instant to no reaction at all like it was a couple of patches ago. I assume that it is an issue with client/server messaging. Like the information that an items got dropped gets lost or has a very low priority.
