Items and consumables removed randomly from quickslots upon login

My PC has a subrace and a item-allowing perk which might affect it. However, it seems the disappearance of items from the quickslots is completely random. The weapon (which the PC would be unable to wield were it not for the perk) is always removed, otherwise it is consumables such as potions or healing wands. Some are removed, some remain, without any observable pattern.

This is happening to me too. Actually, my potions / items are completely randomly re-distributed through my inventory - and quickslots are reassigned based on the grid pattern of the inventory - thus I end up with random slots, and some empty ones.

The martial proficiency of your character is not LETO'd into the PC sheet, so when offline he's not listed as having the proficiency, that is why the quickslot gets emptied for the weapon.

This might be causing the weapon to shift around in your inventory, moving things? I don't know.

As Jagged say, that is the reason the weapon is removed from quick slot.

I'm unsure if Calimport Smoke has an item that grants a proficient feat or not, such as armour, shield or weapon, however the below may help her as well.

As for inventory being moved about, it is likely due to an equipped item that is unequipped while you're offline is placed within the first squares of your inventory even if they were occupied and as such everything in your inventory is moved around to attempt to fit it all within (never logout with a full inventory).  A possible way of avoiding such is always leaving the first 2 or 3 rows of inventory empty from bottom to top.

These are due to implementation and engine limitation.

Quote from: Eraamion;300796Yep, the weapon one does make sense. But the potions? For example, I put generic insulation potion in a quickslot and next login it is not there.

Are they in a container?  Bag, box, etc?  This will happen sometimes if items are not just in the inventory, but are infact inside something else, in the inventory.
 
If that doesn't work - I got nothing.

THis tends to happen when items were quickslotted, then dropped within a container. Usually after a fugueing. THe inventory moving about may be causing this.

May be unrelaed, but as Alexandra i remember once loosing an item randomly. I figured it might have been pick pocket, but now that i remember, pick pocket only steals gold, right?
