Happened to me too yesterday. No matter how much I drank or ate, I never got the "energized", "hydrated" or "sick" status. Didn't vomit as well.

It did work for at least the first 15 minutes of my gameplay, because I managed to get rid of the "hungry" status. Can't pinpoint the exact moment when the system stopped updating though or was it related to me performing some specific action.

While I was swimming I also didn't get "wet" nor did I got the "bleeding" status despite spilling blood from my stomach after receiving a hit with a sledgehammer. In the last case I clearly saw the effect of my blood level dropping as the screen got desaturated.

I confirm the issue. With the new scarcity of loot I was actually looking forward to horticulture. :(

Same here, happens with hunting backpack.

If you carry a Mosin, the barrel tip also blocks a good portion of the view when you strafe crouching.
