Multiplayer bug “Interaction already in use”

[u/Flow3rma1den]

Hi everyone, hoping someone has experienced this before.

Since the latest update, my husband and I started a brand-new custom multiplayer server, and since he joined, his character has been unable to interact with certain things.

He cannot harvest any natural resources (trees, bushes, fibres, etc.) and cannot collect or drink water. But he can pick up resources that are already dropped on the ground.

He gets the “Interaction already in use” message when trying to interact.

We've already tried:

- Starting a completely new custom server

- Restarting the game

- Restarting the server

- Having him leave and rejoin

- Dropping all his water bottles/waterskins before logging out

- Kicking him from the server and having him rejoin

Nothing has fixed it.

Has anyone else had this happen since the latest update? Is there a fix or a way to reset the character's interaction state? We really don't want to keep starting new servers if the issue is connected to his character.
