Well over a year now, a number of patches and at least two major updates and "F" is STILL hard coded to both "Cleared hot" in vehicles and "Dismantle" items in chests. A 30 min fix for any moderately skilled programmer.

@ferretfur Note to all: I also had a few other bugs and glitches, mostly graphical. I deleted all my saves, reinstalled and started over. Everything's been fine for over 15 hours now. No bugs or glitches at all, keys work fine and game is great.

@ubi-baron It gets worse.

I decided to load a save after about 8 hours, early on in England. Now keys disappeared that I found earlier, blocking not only quests but also access to treasure.
One mission for Soma, assassinating a corrupt priest, and access to a treasure cave inside the compound of Lonna.

@agrikaan

I know of at least 6 places that I can't access/progress after having picked up a key.
Keys on NPCs seems to respawn when they do, but keys on the ground are gone for good it seems.

The ones I remember:
Ledecestre bathhouse.
The assassin bureau in Lunden.
A chest also in Lunden, under water near the bureau, defended by a boss.
A house in Lunden also near the bureau.
A shrine with 2 keys, found both only have 1.
Possibly one early on in Norway, but not sure, I didn't pay attention then and assumed I needed something more/else to open it.

@jen11610 I don't have any "Ornir" key in my inventory, but 4 other keys.

• 2nd Derelict shrine of Camulus
• Tamworth fortress door
• Crudely forged
• Heat-blackened

@ubi-baron Yes, I have the auto-loot skill. Keys are never automatically picked up though. I removed the skill and went after a key (Ledecestre bathhouse), but it still didn't show up in inventory after I killed and looted the guard with key icon, and the door still locked, blocking main quest progress.

@exobitt Yeah, I'm suspecting that. Or wait 3 months for some fix. So I'm waiting now, and also prepared for a restart, after new year, with 20 hours wasted.

@erethrengarav YES SAME HERE!

Most keys just disappear. I'm so stuck on so many quests now, I might just as well stop playing. Not to mention all the treasure I can't get to. I remember Odyssey had a game-breaking bug, a quest NPC that didn't show up 40 hours in, and it took them THREE MONTHS to fix it. I fear this will be something similar, I'm now missing at least 5-6 keys, 2 of them blocking main story quest progress. And the keys are GONE from the game. Not in my inventory, not on respawned NPCs or on the ground if I return later.

@pfroddam YES SAME HERE!

In Lunden and a few other places, at least one house (2 keys) and the Bureau.

@darkforce840 YES SAME HERE!
Exactly the same quest, but also a few others.
