An ominous sphere appears at random times

[vast crystal]

Explanation:

At least every single in-game day whenever I harvest or mine anything instead of the particles or items (i do get them in my inventory) this sphere appears out of nowhere with no animation just a shadow below it and it disappears in around half a second, which is way too fast to take a screenshot, but at the same time it's still weird to see.

Go to a field with grass / Go down the mines
Harvest, mine or chop any item in it

Repro Rate:

At least once an in-game day

In-Game Date & Time:

Any time

Hi @vast crystal, thanks for the heads up on this!

When you get the item, is it transferred to your inventory correctly? In your inventory, do you notice any text in the item’s description—what does it say? Also, are you the only one who sees this, or does the host see the same item as well? 😮

[vast crystal]

Yeah it does transfer to my inventory just like it normally would, I didn't really look at their description but it happened to an item the host gave me too last time

The dropped item was also a sphere but it was blueish instead, looked very similar to the game icon, It was just completely normal furniture item

The host doesn't see these at all and I suppose it's probably an issue with the server sync? We've had issues with the palworld game that was on ue too

Have you had a chance to log back into the game and check the items again—does the icon still look the same? 😮

And yeah, it could be a server sync thing. If you get that item again, could you share screenshots from both your screen and the host’s screen? We’d love to compare them and see if there are any differences (or similarities).

[vast crystal]

Oh the icon disappears and I do get the item afterwards, it doesn't seem to be bound to that specific thing, I will maybe try to record it too since it's really hard to take a screenshot of it

Yes! If you’re able to capture it on video, please let us know again 😊
