same problem here. In the last days, my game client always crashed straight away when I hit "connect", now it doesn't crash anymore but it gives me a "Connection failed" message after clicking twice.

Its not just hammers but all big melee weapons. Also happens with guns and non-weapon items like fertilizer bags. So atm, you can carry two melee weapons / guns. You can drop them without throwing by drag-and-dropping them out of your inventory. However, you will drop these additional items on the ground whenever you draw an item into hands.

I had the same problem with a can of sardines, no chance of picking it up whatsoever. But I was able to open it with my axe, which then put it into my inventory - so not sure about your theory

I have encountered this problem with a bunch of items (sardines, chemlight, ..) on the second floor of a building. They were right next to a shelf and I could see them in my vicinity-tab but I wasn't able to pick them up. Aiming the dot and pressing F / mouse-wheel didn't help either.

BUT I was able to pick up the sardines by opening them with an axe, which put them into my inventory.

I can confirm this! The character it worked on was male, the character it didn't work on was female. So that might be the reason!

Had the same issue with the blue drybag on 3rd person exp server. Re-equipping and re-logging did not solve it. A streamer I watched had the same issue with a blue drybag, also on 3rd person.

Found a green drybag on 1st person, worked as expected.

Not sure if its related to color / server settings.

@RagedDrew thanks for the info, I uploaded the files you were talking about :)

Its just 12 hours of experimental, not one month of stable. It doesn't provide any information that could be used for meta gaming. And even if it did, things are still changing rapidly. You might also consider changing your tone, its a bug-tracker, not your personal agony column.

You should also be able to adjust the size of Deans nose :)
