(2019) Looting bug after new patch on Xbox

Original Post

After this most recent patch, it seems as though the game is prioritizing using the skill assigned to the A-button instead of looting things or clicking on my stash/chests. We used to be able to rapidly click the button to pick up multiple things really quickly, but now even when standing there not moving for half a second and then trying to loot something it'll just cast my sorry l spell instead.

Looting is already a massive pain on console, but this new bug is really a problem bc it affects some content, like delve for example. In delve you have to loot quick and get back to the light. This bug makes that impossible. Surely this isn't just me, right?

This is related to the issue that was introduced with the patch where your character can get stuck (see the patch notes thread for more info). For the meantime, if you unbind "A" this will resolve the issue with looting you're experiencing. I'm working on a follow up patch as we speak to fix this, and hope to have it deployed by this time tomorrow.
