Car batteries kinda buggy?

[Feral_day]

I noticed that for some odd reason and at random the charge of a car battery just drops to like below 50% which is also a random amount.

[idiot]

Yes I've also noticed this. The same with propane tanks, too; sometimes they just lose 'charge'.

Apparantly there is a bug that drops no matter what all batteries to around 30%ish charge. (After loading in the game)

I think Beard mentioned this when someoen reported it in the bug section. Currently if any of you encounter something strange it is best to check out first support/bug section. Maybe it is already a known issue.

Yeah, was wondering why all my propane tanks are suddenly empty. Seems to only affect the old, white ones and not the new small, blue ones. So the new lantern is still sorta usable.

I noticed it too. When I am driving around and just turn the car off temporarily to go in a shop to loot, when I come back, the battery is low.

Same for me, my vans always at low 40s, make sure to take your key out, apparently it drains the battery if the keys in for no reason.

I just got hit with this myself... Very sadness, my one car is now useless because the battery died. The regular batteries draining for no reason was bad enough, didn't realize the car batteries did it too...

In all my games i used N to start the car. It is better than clicking, because in B42, (and i think in b41 as awell) it places the key back on the appropriate key chain. Whereas if you use click than it will place it in your inventory:P
New game (abandoned but kept West point save, just it is not worth to play anymore:P), doing Rosewood. Only one car but have not even started it up. :) Using it as storage:D

You are going to laugh but i was thinking of utilizing the ...Remove battery, place it in the trunk before exiting game trick. Then put it back after i load back to not encounter this issue. Also levels mechanic skills:D

Am in Rosewood day 6 already 2 cars at least. Maybe three, did not check my key chain in a while, and just going back and forth the gas station to fill up cans, and loot the food.

I concur, at first I thought that it discharge with time, but it did after I load my game.

[Puppers]

I have just been leaving my car on and sleeping in the car with it on to charge, if it gets too annoying i thought about just spawning in a car charger or something since prolly wont get fixed for a bit

Basically all the car's i've come across are dead battery. The ones that worked no longer work out of nowhere.

[Chaosolous]

All batteries seem kind of buggy.

All the batteries I've put in my bag have lost their charge except for a little tiny bit, each time I load the game.

I can find a full one, log out, log back in and then the battery is dead.

There's propane lanterns now. Lots of light in a circle, but require propane, which is more rare than batteries, I'd say.
