Lighting still bugged

[Maxpain]

Still when i join games quite often torches dont give out light and casting wands dont fire anything.
When in a cave and used a fire wisp but no light so i popped a torch and still not light. Torch glows but you dont see it burning so no light comes from it. Log out then in sometimes fixes it but then u are back at base instead of where you logged out.

I've also noticed light sources that aren't there, specifically around my first base that I've been working on a lot to look nice during the day & night cycle... Once, the hue from the altar had turned to vibrant green-yellow instead of the usual red!

In either case, if I fast travel, to the same base I'm already at even, it fixes it.

Seriously this is an EA game - it has been released not even 2 months ago. What are people expecting?

Also what you describe seems to happen when there are lots of lightsources - at least for me. So its probably a limitation of the engine to some extent or the players hardware. Still this obviously isnt of priority in an EA game that isnt even feature complete. Also placement also seems to be able to generate "bugs" because of the landscape that can be shaped so freely.

Oh No people Report Bugs, how Dare they.

You seem to enjoy to read things in the way you want to read it. Maybe you should argue with yourself since thats what you are doing already ...

Btw. the thread is called "still bugged" implying it should have been fixed by now. Obviously reporting bugs is a good thing there is even a bug-report option in the game if i remember correctly and it also makes sense to discuss bugs in the forum.

Btw. besides what the OP posted i also had a strange light bug that is actually something that should be fixed sooner than later if many people have it.

For some reason when i place those firefly-laterns on the ground near a field with a wood fence it will go crazy and transform in a strobe light - which is probably a bigger problem for some people.

The Developers LITERALLY PATCHED this out a few Updates ago and it's STILL a problem. That's what people are expecting, that the fix actually fixes it. They patched it right before the Contest, and it was a problem for all of us submitting our builds for the Contest and is still a problem today.

We expect torches to give off light.

This is a very fair point and I'm glad to not be the only one who's made it. All things considered it's a great game with very few issues for early access, the thing is when it comes to unknowns ...they are unknown, so nobody really knows what WILL BE FIXED, like for real and what will just be promised *to be fixed, those things are not the same and the state of the industry is one in which promises are made and very regularly broken and that's when devs aren't playing 'bait and switch'.

It's hard not to be critical and easy to assume the worst.

I think the fact that there are so many complaints speaks volumes about the number of people enjoying the game though that may seem counter-intuitive, the bottom line is that nobody complains about things they don't care about.


and on that note...the sandstone texture is gorgeous but also massively broken on any flat surface where it completely mismaps (possibly a rendering issue).

Since last update (not before) my wax torch sometimes stops to give me light. Unequipping and reequipping it solves the problem for this moment.
