Removing batteries from flashlight

[Red C]

Hi
I cant switch batteries in my flashlight anymore. I have done it several times since release but after the last update I cant get it to work. Am I missing something or is it a bug in the game?

For me replace batteries works as before, right click over the flashlight for remove the old, right click over the new battery for select, in the same screen select the flashlight and left click for place (Apply).

Thanks it works. Think I was right clicking instead of left clicking the other day. Its been a while since I last played so I read the instructions wrong i guess so thanks for clarifying

Honestly this mechanic seems broken. It won't let me take out old batter at all and when it does let me put a new one in(half the time) it will leave the flashlight stuck and and I can't turn it off with f. Game breaking bugs and mechanics so far, seems like they rushed the game.

This game is awesome but I can't even play it. I should have waited.

What you are doing?

I start a new game - Endless - Survivalist; after the latest update and no issues for replace batteries in the headlamp. Just do like I post above.

"F" for headlamp on/off work flawless.

I suggest you use Steam Files Verification for scan your game files, maybe have something corrupt.

I have 362 hours in this game - plus some in Demo and Prologue; and don't encounter a "stop play bug", the game mechanics is easy to master and can eat wolf meat every day if want or became vegan.

The biggest issue is the game close sometimes - but my hardware is ~10 years old, so could contribute to this.

BTW - Some tips - SPOILER:

Don't build big houses, keep to 3 or 4 floor squares , so when the bear damage the house repairs cost less resources. Keep resources for construction stored for this cases.

Preferable make house over rocks, where animals don't reach, if not possible make then two stores and sleep, make fire in the second floor.

Make the house around the hot springs, so you have a warm interior without fire running.

The boar will destroy your indoor campfire remotely - seems he use telepathy; so keep stored materials for build another for this cases.

Make a fire cover outside and build a simple campfire there, maybe the boar target this and spare you indoor fire.

Don't worth upgrade your house with planks, actually this don't provide temperature or protection bonus.

Make a bed inside a nearby cave, they are warm and so you have a place for sleep if you house is damaged.

Help:
I cant switch batteries in my flashlight anymore and it doesn't work with the usual button used (F).
I tried changing the quick slot (from 1 to 7) the torch turns on (with button 7) but it doesn't eliminate the darkness discomfort.
I checked file integrity but it didn't solve anything.
Does anyone know how to help me, Thanks
