i am very compelled to try to isolate this pickup bug. According to the page this may be caused by regen, which is very interesting.

However, i would like to note that i have had this problem in the past as well, and enough to where i can describe in what situations the bug occurs, as well as the other problems involved with it.

1. This bug is not specific to using Carrier. Items can refuse to pick up (but you still hear the constant sound of ammo or energy being picked up, causing extreme annoyance) even without carrier. With Carrier however, items will eventually cover up your character and block your view, eventually ending up with you running out of energy and ammo.

2. When this bug occurs, you will not be able to use life support, use control consoles, revive teammates, or suck up capture targets, as i have had all these issues while this bug occurs, with or without carrier present.

3. This bug has a higher chance of occurring if you have even the slightest bit of latency from the host, and when latency occurs, may last until the connection is improved or, in the worst cases, not at all for the remainder of the mission.

4. This bug has become extremely common during the past couple months (or maybe a bit less) and due to the above i imagine something has changed in the sending/receiving of data packets that causes latency to occur more often, or latency to occur more easily on low-end internet connections.

5. With Nova Prime and a rank 8 (+225%) primed flow (not 100% sure if the primed flow or the rank is relevant) a similar bug will occur but much more often, especially with energy orbs being sucked in by carrier even if you don't need any energy at all. With this version of the bug, the same thing applies; you cannot revive, use life support, etc.

i would love if this bug and related bugs could get fixed asap, as it discourages me from playing the game and especially playing as my nova.
