I've been having this issue for a while and I have no idea why it's doing it or what caused it. I would say it started sometime this year, about half way through, but I also just came back from not playing for a while so it could have been going on longer. The problems is that the barrels and crates NPCs carry (mostly seen at ports and on ships) are tiny. They're so small they're floating in the NPCs' hands with the lid detached and hovering either above them or off to the side. It's not game breaking by any means, but it's a little jarring when I go to a port and see that. I haven't seen anything about it in the bug section of the forums and when I asked friends or people on the server if they see the same thing, they say no (or don't answer at all if it's random people). It's gotten to the point where I'm fed up with seeing it. This has happened across three different computers with varying specs, so it's not my setup. I do use addons but they just add things to the map, changes the guide stores, and shows me the ingame time. I have tried using the launcher's repair tool but it comes up clean.
