Bug: Auto Pickup Fails When ‘Drop Items at Player Location’ Is Enabled In Item Granter

Summary

With the ‘Drop Items at Player Location’ option enabled in your item granters and ‘Auto Pick Up’ turned on in your island settings, items used to always be collected instantly by players unless they were moving very fast. After one of the recent patches walking/sprinting players no longer auto collect these items instead, randomly they drop near the player. Also observed much more random dropping with regular ‘Small ShieldPotion’ over the ‘Legacy Small ShieldPotion’
