Summary
Nearly all items in the game have broken pickup transform when dropped, this causes many to clip into the ground, or just look incorrect and awkward.
This is caused by 2 things:
- “PickupMeshTransform” in item definitions no longer functions at all. The properties are all still set, but do nothing outside of extremely specific cases (as in the one listed below).
- Skeletal Mesh pickups are missing their slight added rotation, the rotation transform should be -0.8,-7.0,0.0.
For whatever reason, when items are spawned specifically from Presents and Loot Stars, they spawn with the correct transform, see the second attached image.
EDIT: I think this may be caused by the random pickup rotation, it must have been broken at some point to override the transform rather than just add random yaw. I say this because both Presents and Loot Stars drop items without random rotation, and it works fine specifically on them. Save the World also disables random pickup rotation entirely, and the transform works there as well.

Steps to Reproduce
- Drop a Kinetic Blade or a Shockwave Hammer (this issue applies to so so so many other items but these are notable more obvious examples).
- Observe the dropped item on the ground.
Expected Result
The pickups appear correctly rotated, notably with the above items, not clipping into the ground.
Observed Result
The items appear to have no transform set outside of the added base random yaw rotation that every dropped pickup always has.

Additional Notes
This notably applies to nearly every utility item in the game, things like Grenades, Shield Potions, Small Shields, Shockwave Grenades, Overdrive Grenades, etc are all impacted by this.
