Re: Unable to drop nor share loot

I disabled origin in-game and still have the issue.

What I have found to help is to switch my weapons, then I am able to drop items/ammo/guns.

I have not tried to re-install Origin, I can try that next. Is there a known bug with origin causing this?

We're not aware of any outstanding reports around this. There are specific keybindings for Firestorm so be sure to check that in your in-game settings. I recommend trying a clean boot to see if it's a program running in the background that's conflicting with the game. Once the clean boot is done, immediately launch BFV.

 We just figured out what was causing invite issues for this player here.

I have recently turned RTSS off.

Testing is still on-going.

Thanks for the clean boot, I will check this out and report back.

Turning RTSS off did not help.

@C74_C74 

Does the clean boot help out at all? Do you any controllers or other devices plugged into your USB slot other than a mouse and keyboard?

I still have the issue. No other devices plugged in. However my mouse is plugged into my KB. Ill see if that is the issue.

Issue remains. I am also unable to accept Origin pop-up squad invites whilst in-game. The last thing to do is into re-install windows which I really don't want to do.

Uninstalled mouse software. Lets see if that does the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaahhhh!!!

I take it that did the trick? 🙂

nope. I still have the issue. The only way to un-stick being unable to drop items is to swap weapons, but as you can imagine its hard to do whilst in a gun-fight or under-fire.

Any other ideas?

No other ideas and we players have to just suck it up?????

Can you upload a DxDiag for us please?

Can you try a clean boot and then immediately launch Origin as administrator to play the game? Let's see if it continues doing it after that. This way, we can narrow it down to a potential program/service conflicting with the game.

So there's a couple things we can try next. I see that you don't have the latest version of Windows 10. Would you be willing to check for updates? Search "Windows Updates" in the desktop search bar to check for pending updates.

I see some Origin, BFV, and Skype errors. You've already tried reinstalling Origin and BFV so I don't recommend that again unless you want to try reinstalling them both on a different drive. Weird thing though is that I've seen Skype actually cause some issues for our games as of recently. Try deleting Skype and then launch the game to see if that clears this up.

If I'm looking at the DxDiag correctly, do you have a USB stick plugged into your PC that can be removed?

The USB devices are my AIO, KB and mouse.

I also know many others who have this issue, but are not willing to spend the time to fix it. This suggests the root cause is BFV.

AIO = All In One, my system is water cooled.

Ideally I don't want to remove my AIO, unless your willing to replace my CPU and GPU when it overheats and melts????

A lot of players that also have this bug don't care enough as they don't see BFV being around much longer, I'm heading down that same path!

Its obvious you guys don't think its the game, so lets not waste anyone's time and close this off.

BTW with Skype removed, I still get the issue!
