On four occasions in my current game, I get notified that I succeeded in a Perception check, the game auto-pauses as expected, but nothing shows up. I've observed this in the following locations thus far:

1. Pitax port: walking past the covered wagon near Kharne Vereel.
2. Castle of Knives: northern area, just west of Faladrox. This is not the hidden tree stump; that is even further to the west of where this occurs.
3. Castle of Knives: southwestern region, near Kamala the Phoenix.
4. Castle of Knives: just east of the ghost guard ambush (the game was patch to 2.06 by this point).

In each of these events, no container or otherwise interactable doodad appears. These have all occurred in game version 2.05c with all base game DLC (i.e., no Premium Edition add-ons, just the Season Pass and the free content), and no mods.

I see there is also a similar post on the Steam forum with a similar experience; that was written by a different player.

Edit: added a fourth location recently encountered.

I got the same thing happening around the Castle of Knives (I don't remember if it happened in Pitax, but it's possible).
I didn't find what the perception check was supposed to reveal (even when I used the tab key to made them obvious).

After a while, I just gave up looking for the supposedly revealed items.

It's been almost exactly a year since this thread and I just encountered the very same bug.
Any confirmation if this was a bug after all?

I've seen the EXACT same thing. Seem to recall it was a few more places, but at least the ones mentioned above. Kept looking for something while spamming Tab, but absolutely nothing showed up anywhere. In Castle of Knives I wondered if it might have something to do with hidden enemies or something, but maybe the same kind of bug or oddity there as in Pitax Port.

This is with the latest version of the game, per June 2020.
