Valueable drops don't highlight

Hello, I'm having an issue with item drop highlighting in the new league.

I play with the option 'always highlight' turned off, and use my highlight key to pick up items. Last league this worked perfectly, as valuable drops would display their names when dropped, but now I have to press my highlight key to see those names. Turning off the option to 'always highlight' shouldn't mean 'never highlight'. The basic functionality, as was the case last league, is that valuable items should highlight when dropped, and only disappear when the highlight key is pressed and released again.

Now, to avoid screen clutter I have to press the highlight key every time I kill a mob to check if any worthy items got filtered out by my lootfilter (NeverSink's semi-strict, same as last league), which is less than ideal to say the least.

To illustrate the scope of this issue, drops ranging from scrolls of wisdom all the way up to exalt shards and six-links don't display any text upon drop. If there is any way to revert highlighting to the functionality it had last league, I'd very much appreciate any help.

It seem the problem of item filter you used

I used the same filter as last league, and I already confirmed with NeverSink it's not the filter's issue.
The highlighting itself is different now, since the same issue occurs when I'm not using any filter at all. The initial highlight does not work, which can only be attributed to a client-side change.

Client side change does not meant it is a bug.


This patch notoriously change a lot of thing but not documented . Likes all the damage change, all the passive change.

This is true, however, the fact that this change came alongside a huge number of complaints about scuffed text in dropped items as well as a host of other visual bugs leads me to believe this is not an intended change.

Moreover, this issue persists without a loot filter and it's the first occurrence of initial drop not displaying text since I started actively playing more than a year ago. This solidifies my assumption even more.

I also have video evidence from last league, where I had 'always highlight' off, but valuable drops showed their text on initial drop.

At around the 35 second mark an Orb of Fusing drops, my custom sound notification plays and the item text is visible. This is no longer the case.
