[Bug] Lighting a torch

[SkyKaptn]

I cannot light a handheld torch now from matches or firestriker. NOTE: I had both these fire starting items in my inventory so the menu to choose igniter from appeared. Choosing any of these two resulted in a brief click sound when pressing the "light" button and the progress circle disappeared after half a second. Matches and fire striker were expended in the failed process.
-I did not not test with only one fire staring item in my inventory (so that the choosing pop-up menu would not appear)

Conditions:
-1 wind chill
-30 air temp
-Skill level 3

Edit: The firestarting process does not start until I let go of the light button, thus making it impossible to hold the process going.

Drop Firestriker or matches that you are able to light torch, because choose between both are... broken?

I agree with PowerOn... I had this problem too (being unable to light a torch while holding both matches and a metal firestarter). There seems to be a glitch in the current build of the game that prevents the torch being lit while holding both, but it also doesn't let you choose one over the other. I found that if you drop the firestarter (easier than dropping all the matches in your possession), the torch CAN be lit normally.

This will probably be fixed in one of the upcoming patches. :-)

Slightly edited the headline to include a bug tag based on feedback.

Same problem here. In the closed space. No wind at all.

Same here, Only if I take the torch from the fire.
