waterskin

I can no longer drink from water skin. Suggestions? thanks

You need to open your inventory to drink from it. It can no longer be used from the quickslot. Could that be what causes the problem for you?

I don't see how I can drink from it in an open inventory. Did not see a prompt for that.????

Open your inventory, select the waterskin and take a look at the bottom of your screen. There it tells you which key to press in order to drink.

Not terribly pleased by this change, took me by surprise too. It also, annoyingly, means that you cannot easily top up your Waterskin before heading away from water. Now you have to empty it, then equip it, select it, and refill it. I find it a bit hard to imagine any good reason why the devs made this change.

I'm with you. The idea was to have it uniform, as far as I know.

There is no key which says drink on my screen. Do you have a different screen? I have selected all the keys and nothing causes drink.

How do you empty the waterskin?

I think it's "C" by default, but it tells you at the bottom of the screen as well.

C does nothing the keys at the bottom of my screen are unequip , drop, selection, categories, tabs, and exit. selection and categories do not allow drinking. I wonder if i have a different version than you? What version do you have? Also thanks for hanging with this discussion!

This might sound like a dumb question but... does the waterskin have any water left in it?

That's actually a good question. You can't empty it if it already is empty. And you can't drink from it.

I went to the river and filled waterskins I have 2 of them so both are filled when i try to drink. Am not able to do so. Also do not see how to empty, I tried dropping them but to no avail.

See where my mouse is? C is "empty" and F is "eat" or rather "drink". The filled waterskin is in the food tab of your inventory. If it is in the tool tab, it is not filled.
