Game Bug — Combining
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Bug: When combining items (by pressing ‘O’)the menu’s automatically close. This occurs with every item, no matter the quantity or other factors.

This makes it frustrating and difficult to combine multiple loose items in your inventory as the menu’s continuously close, forcing you to close/ scroll through multiple clothing/ storage items.

This is unlike when pressing Triangle to ‘split’ items, where the menu’s do not close and you are able to easily navigate and view your items.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open menu.
  2. Select item to move to hands.
  3. Scroll across to Vicinity/Equipment and find an item that is compatible for combining.

(Note: whether the item is the same or not to the item in your hand, this issue persists)

  1. Press Circle to combine with second item.
  2. Menu automatically closes.
Additional Information

I am aware that this is a very minor bug but it would make a nice change for ease of use when the menu’s can already be a little tricky/ time consuming for a console, controller, player.

Hello heyitspiper.
The game has always behaved this way and it is by design.

Nope. Used to be much more user friendly...

Plus the inventory stays open when stacking on PC currently...

I’ve only been playing since the beginning of 2022 so thank you Lemmac for confirming that the game indeed ISN’T supposed to work this way.
And respectfully Geez, I am pretty disappointed, I never give devs feedback because I’m a firm believer that they do not listen. Instead my very VALID bug report (because this IS a bug) is met with dismissal and even a blatant lie.
Thanks for resorting my faith that devs truly don’t care.

Do you play with the new or old control scheme? As the menu closing should not occur with the new control scheme.

In defence of Geez, he didn't "lie". It is a design mechanic that when you combine certain items, the UI will close immediately, for example combining a knife with a can. But it should not happen with things like combining ammo stacks etc etc

I use the new control scheme but have used both and this has been an issue with both.

Fair enough but the game wasn’t always designed that way (as shown in the video that someone else linked). Also I’d totally agree with that logic of combining knife with can to open for it to then close to do the action but opening cans that way has never worked for me. Can goes on the floor with the knife in the hand because for me.

Hello again.
Upon further discussion we will take a look at what could be done.
