I've seen this since 1.15, and it occurs almost every time I get into a fight with another player. I will get into a fight, and then my inventory will completely bug out such that I 1) Cannot move items from my hands to my inventory 2) Cannot move items from my hands to the ground 3) Cannot swap items (so that I can even bandage myself). I've seen this occur a huge number of times while streamers are playing as well.
Reproducibility: Often
I think this is triggered when changing stance.
I need to test some more, but I seem to get it when I stand up and change guns at the same time.
Does this sound plausable?
No clue as to the exact circumstances. Feels like a Desync issue (where the gamecode can't handle very quickly in allowing access to recently unconscious/killed players' newly accessible inventory together with your own), as it sometimes resolves after a few minutes, but sometimes I just have to logout to fix it.
Like I just watched a streamer who had this happen - they had to wait 45 seconds or so until they could do anything with their inventory.
It might be that a similar part of the code that causes brief in-game lag spikes when nearing a player stash is what causes similar inventory access issues near recently downed players. If so, need to implement some kind of progressive streaming code which allows not all inventory data to hit a player all at once.
