Audio Bug - Flare - (Fixed in v0.2)

[robdoar]

If you light a flare, and put it away, you can still hear it hissing.

If it's supposed to be that way, I can't see how to re-equip the flare.

[logang]

Yeah, I get the audio for a flare also, I first thought it was me dropping the flare and it continuing to burn on the ground, but there is no trace of it on the ground and I have a spent flare in my inventory.

Hmm...we've seen this bug come and go. It's a doozy. Good find though. This is not desired behaviour. You cannot stow a lit flare. You can only hold it, drop it, or throw it. It can be picked up again if lit, but not added to inventory.

I suspect the bug is with stowing which shouldn't be possible when it is lit.

This also applies to the storm lantern (assuming you've lit it).

I accidentally left a nightlight going when I went to sleep with my storm lantern still lit, woke up to find it had 0% fuel left.

[Guest Alan Lawrance]

Logan -- was the lantern not lit when you woke up? That would be the expected behavior... the lantern still simulates during your sleep and burns fuel.

[logang]

Alan - yeah the lantern wasn't lit when I woke up, I wasn't saying it was bugged, just saying that I had forgotten to turn it off when I went to sleep and let it burn up all of its fuel, just something else I didn't think of.

[Raphael van Lierop]

You can die making a mistake like that.

[logang]

Yeah, pretty impossible to navigate at night during a blizzard, especially with no light

[Raphael van Lierop]

One of the many reasons why it's valuable to scout and know the "lay of the land", understanding where you can take shelter when you see the first telltale signs of an incoming blizzard (you get a little bit of warning...).
