Lumber stack ‘cannot be placed’ in the entrance - the small hall with stairs. The item cannot be picked from the inventory whilst the character stands in that room, you must go to another room, then the lumber stack becomes accessible in the inventory and can be picked for placement then moved and placed in the entrance.
I did not try any other items but the small chest and it works fine. So maybe just the lumber stack is bugged.
A screenshot or small video will go a long way Starykmet!
I am sorry. I have tried to replicate it but wasn’t successful. It was the very first thing I had done a ‘second’ after I bought the house. Maybe someone else will manage to do the same thing. Or I will try with a new character. But as I already wrote; whilst standing in the hallway I opened my inventory go for lumber stack but could not active it for placement, I was pressing ‘F - Use’ but nothing happened. I tried the same in the next room, inventory closed and my character was moving around with the lumber stack.
Even I could not replicate the problem I found it’s likely all about keybinds. Watch the video in which I press ‘E - lock direction’ and the game places the object on the floor instead.
Yes, I can see it now. During my recent gameplay I can pick up items with assigned key or with a key assigned to parry. Keybinds is a mess.
And just now during playing the game suddenly swapped sneak and run button, both assigned to mouse buttons.
This is a good find of you! Make sure to read the thread that I’ve linked already once, it describes the parry function as one of those key’s that keep resetting. It sucks and I hope they will patch it out quickly!
