Quite often at the end of a fight I find myself unable to loot the bodies, I just get a red "You are too busy to loot" message, is there any way to get the game to let me loot besides camping and reentering the game? Going off and killing something else doesn't work nor does harvesting (how come I can do that?)
Just initiate camping (type /camp) then stand up. Your problem should be fixed without camping all the way out.
I was getting it when I was last on regularly, maybe a year ago. And I'm pretty sure that was on a different computer. I'm also getting a lot of dropped connections, where my character has more and more trouble interacting with the world and then pops out to the character screen.
This happened to me today. I crashed and then came back in game. I then immediately killed an overland named in Tranquil Sea and got an exquisite chest. It kept giving me that message. I zoned using the dock bell to Phantom Sea and then back to Tranquil. It let me loot my chest after that,
It happens to me after every crash. And I probably crash 4 or 5 times day. I can't interact with chests, broker... anything. /camp for the win. I pretty much now just camp to self right after every crash to avoid it.
This issue occurs if you go linkdead, and come back into game before your toon fully logs out. The game subsequently thinks you are busy and unable to loot. It is fixed by either camping to yourself, or zoning.
Question: Do you use the in-game browser? I was crashing a lot and I found out that it was related to the in-game browser being opened. It doesn't matter if you go to a site or not. As soon as it's clicked open, expect a crash within the next 5-10 minutes. If I'm not mistaken, it creates a memory leak when opened.
I don't use the in-game browser, I was looking for it but found out how to play in a window instead of fullscreen and since that was what I really wanted I stuck with that instead.
