Binoculars chrashed my game

so i was going to scrap some things in my invwentory including binoculars. they instantly got equiped and used. when i tried to unequip it i lost alot of good stuff that i had to drop on the ground

please bring in backup saves!

this was done in single player

Which system do you play on?
Why should binoculars on recycling them being equiped?

steam… i put them into my inventory from the storage to move over to the scrapping station to scrap them. they got put automaticly into the hotbar and automaticly got activated/used and i could not interact with annything when that happens. i tried going into my inventory, interact with the bag i had on the floor or the scrapping station and then it chrashed. it did not let me interact with annything

I guess you had one placed on the wheel before.
But nevertheless, seems to be a bug that the game crashed.

Did you ever use any mods?

no mods but i think it auto equips it when you got nothing in your hotbar

Why should it?
It just does it, If you previously had an item of the same type on a place. Like If you have medpacks there, use all and pick another one up. That’s automatically there on the wheel.
If you for example recycled binoculars that were on the wheel, and pick another one up, it goes to the wheel…
If you haven’t used the slot for something else in the meantime.
