Problem after update?..

[Geturphil]

I don't want to report it as a bug because it's technically not and Hinterland may have even meant to make this change, but after the update I noticed that while I'm holding an unlit torch I can't light it on a fire anymore... it just brings up the menu to either add fuel, take torch, cook, water. It's not too hard to add another stick and just take a torch but being able to light your torch on another torch but not on a fire is a little weird. Right click doesn't work either.. am I missing something?  Still pumped to check out this update it brought me back and I've been carrying 6 rabbit pelts with me to make sure I could cover the hat when it came out. I'm about to take a hike to craft it right now ^-^. Been a fan for years now! Thanks for the content!

I was having this same issue yesterday evening, got a bit nervous with it and started doubleclicking (well, it was really X button-smashing frustration, as I play in PS4)... and surprisingly it worked. Then I kept doublepressing the X button every time I wanted to lit a torch this way and still worked.

So I would suggest you doubleclick or press the action button twice when you aim towards the fire with the unlit torch equipped. 

I don’t know if this is the intended mechanic, but if it is then it should be stated somewhere.

Best of luck out there.

You can light the torch by selecting "add fuel" from the menu. It is a bit confusing and I hope it's going to be changed in the future.

So for PC you light your torch by clicking the "add fuel" button while it is equipped. Okay haha. I should have discovered this by myself and feel silly but I am grateful for the responses dudes. Hope you guys have fun!
