When I delete multiple items, sometimes there’s an item that I deleted that still appears as a “new item” (as in unclicked upon in the inventory). Naturally, I assume I accidentally missed it during the salvage process, so I click on it, which instantly crashes the game. These ghost items vanish if I exit the inventory and return. ---

Are you experiencing any other weird desync or delays when playing PQ3? Also, do you notice this in the Gear screen only or if you access the Gear menu from a pre-battle screen as well? ---

If you experience this again, if you could make note of what actions you took beforehand, that would be helpful to pinpoint where the desync or missing refresh is coming from. As that is what is happening, somewhere between you salvaging the items and returning to the gear screen, the data is not refreshing. ---

I _think_ it’s happening when I access the gear screen from the adventure/season map. ---

@Jeto just a quick update; the bug happened in my normal gear menu, from the home screen. It might be worth testing it by salvaging 10+ items at once, while they’re still “flashing” as unseen. ---

@ed.209 But when you exit and come back into the Gear menu so it can refresh, everything is displaying correctly? ---

That has worked for me when it happens, yes. ---

There is a chance this is fixed in 3.3, but I’ll keep an eye out for more reports once that releases ---

When I leave the menu and return, the item has vanished.
