There is some odd bug with chests and NWN2 in general.
Every server has this problem.
Eventually if a chest is looted enough times is stops working and will be stuck open appearance wise (the lid will be open).
A server reset is needed to fix this.

I've seen this on other servers as well and there are ways to avoid this happening usually. A lot of the time that this happens has to do with what a player does while having the chest open. Try to avoid taking any action other than looting while you have a chest open. This could solve 80% of the "broken" chests. Granted sometime they just get stuck or something attacks you before you can close it. Just something to consider. Also try to avoid more than one person "opening" the chest at the same time.
Even though a chest is broken and you'll get no loot from it, if you get xp for disarming and picking, you'll still receive that xp.

Yes, one of the things that can happen is what sadly happened to me.... I was opening a chest and saw tons of goodies, and a gnoll spawned behind me and my character began to fight on auto response. The chest closed and when i open it again nothing was inside.  |

Doh! I saw an unidentified helm among other goodies in a chest in the Bhaal temple and had the same thing happen. Gnolls spawned and attacked and I auto-fought, pulling me out of the menu and losing the loot forever.
Boo hoo.
I keep telling myself it was something stupid, but sadly I dont think it was.

Ye I'll see if I can fix that and force the loot to stay in the chest.
That happened to me a few times when the server was lagging. Nothing happened when I hit the loot all button and then the chests closed so the loot was lost.

The only thing I do like about the ‘auto empty’ script is that it prevents players from leaving the junk they don’t want behind. If having the chest hold partial loot prevents it from ‘refilling’ the fix wouldn’t be worth it, IMO.
