Sunken Crypt Lost Loot

So is there a despawn timer on the loot you leave in Sunken Crypts?? I left all my loot on step by door , left crypt ran back to my camp. Ended up taking longer than I thought to get back and all my loot disappeared, waste of an hour clearing the crypt and lost all my loot!~
this is a new seed , on my old seeds I used to leave stuff in the crypts all the time with no problem. Big sigh if this is a new glitch.

I have had troll hide and gold despawn on me, I knew it is a possibility but I had to get back to a chest with my inventory as I was full of meat at the time. I marked the locations of the trolls I had killed, managed to get to one of them, but the others despawned.

Build a campfire or crafting bench and items will not despawn nearby. It isn't the game at fault it is you op.

Oh, no, you do not get to blame anyone else for your failures, that is all on you.

Bahahaha!

Nope. PEBKAC.

Things despawn in this game after 3600 seconds as pointed out by someone else - you were either lucky on your other seeds to get back to it in time or had a fire or something nearby to stop it from despawning.

I've never had this happen despite always dropping it on the step, but then I never take long between runs.

Only stays there if you built a camp fire next to it (stops despawns) or put it in a chest inside the Crypt.

If you're not putting them in chests and do not have a Player Base structure (like a campfire) in the crypt, yes. They have a despawn timer of 3600 seconds (1hr). This isn't a new addition; it's been like that forever.

If you had a fire on that step near the door, they should not despawn. If you didn't, they will despawn.

Use the chests, or build a campfire. See https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base
Otherwise, you threw your stuff on the ground and left... what did you think was going to happen?
