Tier 1 dots projector not working. Can't turn it on.

Are you playing on custom difficulty with Flashlights turned off? That disables all flashlight-like objects, including T1 Dots and T2 UV.

Yes, flashlights are turned off. But it shouldn't be considered as flashlight. Couse it's not. Besides, it's an evidence item.

Things held like a flashlight do not work with that modifier - the higher UV tiers ALSO do not work when that setting is toggled off like that. Doesn't matter if it's evidence or not...

Although a quirk I noticed is that even with flashlights off, UV prints were still being charged by the UV flashlight - possibly a bug, but if that is intended behavior then the DOTS pen may still be working in a similar fashion; you can still potentially get the evidence if its "on", but its just not allowed to produce any light to help you see.

Technically it is not a flashlight, but it can be used like one.

And overall, this setting isn't meant for people who're still learning, but rather for those, who can navigate in the dark an regarding the evidence items, also be able to identify the ghost without all evidences (though you can also just wait for the T2 DOTS, if you want to take this challenge on, but still use DOTS)
