Flashlight Keybinding?

[Thalinor]

Thanks for the night update, but how do we turn off the flashlight? I don't see it in keybindings. There really needs to be a keybinding to turn it off.

Night is already too bright in the game and I need to go into HDR settings and see if I can fix it. Oddly I don't have this issue with COTW (with the darkness level at night or turning off the flashlight) despite it being the same game engine.

In COTW there is a keybinding for flashlight (which for some reason oddly doesn't spook the animals when it's on, but that's another story for another day).

Game has a nice atmosphere at night. Are you going to add weather and fog as well? In COTW it rains and snows. Forgive me if its already there, but at this point I'v shelved the game (still installed but not used) until you bring it on par with COTW.

Fly fishing (with realistic casting, and a fly tying module) would be an instant DLC buy and we need Ice Fishing added as well. Both can be DLC but if Ice fishing is paid, you better convert every map (including DLC) to have a spring & winter variant, because one winter map with ice fishing gear is not a proper DLC unless its half the price as the usual ones.

I ran my own consulting INC for years and gave your company very sound advice before this title was even in the works. I get the feeling this game is never going to be on par with COTW and it just goes to show had you listened to my very smart consulting advice, you would have added this as a full price ($60 USD) paid DLC for the hunter. Had you done that you would have already had a complete game to work with, maps that were already made, and an existing player base who would have loved the option to HUNT AND FISH AT THE SAME TIME. Instead you listened to some idiot bean counter and look where it's left you?

Take this advice: Make a launcher for this fishing title and COTW, like you have with the "free" (pay to win) The Hunter title you also offer. Advertise both products in that launcher. If someone only owns one, the launcher only has the option for one game but displays information on the other. If someone has both games, give them the option to launch both, either as separate games with the current maps already included (plus DLC) or as one game where you can hunt and fish at once. It's fully expected that every map won't have the option to begin with and will take time to convert. New DLC maps will be added with hunting and fishing enabled by default which can work in both games or combined. Remember people fish rivers, brooks, streams and small ponds, not just lakes!

You can save this title. It will save your company money dual developing two titles that work together as a single package or individually.
The first thing you should do when you find yourself in a hole... stop digging. You can always save this title and make it worth your companies time and resources to keep developing. This can be a "no mans sky" success, but you need to stop being pig headed and listen to those who are supporting your company.

The team doesn't really like to listen to players. Just like many people reflect the vehicle driving steering sensitivity problem, the third perspective free to look up and down, water wave texture, fishing can walk around and look around, etc., they only follow their own pace, good at making map DLC.

To answer your original question, open the menu with the Q key flashlight bottom option. click to toggle on and off.

Thank you much, as I have read in other forums this post was made before that option was available so apparently they DID listen, which shocked me as well. Thank you for the update and I will check it out in game next time I decide to load it (which is once every few months at this point).

Appreciate the post and thank you devs for adding the option. Who knows, maybe they will listen and merge this title with COTW like we suggested back before they started work on it and again during the early days of this titles development when they sent around the two surveys. I also emailed them a few times too, well before they started work on it. Hunting and fishing go together when you are making them "open world".
