let me know if you guys know what im talking about and if you are working on it.

I've had this issue as well a few times. I think it's not just because of the steps or stairs but when there's a slight height difference between the player and the infected corpse.
For me this problem only occurs in 1.22 EXP, not in 1.21 stable

This is an old bug that will probably never go away. Applies also to players, and falling next to walls. Anything a player or ai or asset can clip through.

The stairs are hard because how small they are.
I doubt this game will ever bring rag doll physics.........
though that would be really nice to have.

it happens for me on stable and yes with other items too that are placed on ground near corner will dissappear into wall.

If this happens with a player, cut them up and their items should be accessible.
