item occasionally hidden by "fadeout" objects

in certain scenarios, it is possible for small items to drop directly behind large "fadeout" objects that have not faded out. This result leaves the items completely hidden. The mouse cursor and text shows the item behind the object, but there is no other indication that an item is there.

I think its caused by fadeout objects only fading out when the character is behind them, which means dropped loot doesn't trigger the fadeouts. I believe the same problem exists for enemies hiding behind fadeout objects.

the problem isn't so severe in most areas, but the Crypt has tight areas with many fadeout objects, so it can be a little more problematic in there.

I'll update the bug with screenshot next time i encounter

Holding ALT shows all items that are dropped on the ground. As of right now there are no plans to fade the environment to show items, but I moved this to Beta Feedback for visibility.
