Can't properly pick up / interact with items

Adding my own experience to this. As soon as I added a corpse targeting skill to my left click it prefers to highlight corpses over loot. I can't pick up the loot until I've used up all the nearby corpses. even if they aren't actually near the item.

Confirm this pick up issue with corpse related skills on left click

Thanks for the info, same issue here when using Unearth on left click.

One thought is that it might be area vs targeted skills and the way they interact with the environment rather than just specific ones? I'll test when I go back to levelling one of my other toons.

I searched on this a few days ago and couldn't find an answer. However, I did find that if you hit ALT and click, it picks it up just fine. I've been through every setting s dozen times, and can't find anything relevant, or *why* this actually works.

Try "Options -> Game -> Key Pickup -> Disabled".
That was what fixed the issue for me.

key pickup disable also fixed it for me

im pretty sure this bug has to do with accept being on the secondardy action on the controller. i tried to bind pickup to the up dpad control and it had me press it twice sometimes...

Same problem with detonate dead on left click, need to spam click to be able to pick up something.

It seems that with the Witch class having the ability to summon corpses, it will prioritize the corpse over the item. I started out doing a Chaos build up until I hit ascendency, chose Infernalist path and respec my passives for 10k not bad.

Going from Chaos to Fire, found that "Volatile Dead" being able to consume corpses to turn into a fireball, thus forcing me use "Unearth" to clear the corpse and retrieve the loot. But, if swap the ability and pickup bind off from another it fixes it.

I had a similar issue which was because I used WASD control in game but in the global settings on the main menu it was set to mouse and keyboard.

Setting it in global resolved it.
