Light the bloody candles!!

[Elysium]

Seriously why the heck is this game more about frustration then actually being scary at all? I can't understand why the simple task of lighting a candle with matches in the game is so complicated and frustrating. And why is the no crosshair bug still happening?

I always had to click on the torch/candle/lantern. Bringing the match near them wouldn't light them automatically.

That's still not complicated. You light the match and then click on light source to light.

No, it's not complicated, just wanted to clarify on the full steps nonetheless. And what happened to the person's comment I'm quoting?

It seems they deleted it. Or it was removed. Steam doesn't really give any indication when that happens, it just poofs.

More than anything else I find it useless and senseless to have to go in the continuous search for matches, after being stuck in the cave with no matches in total darkness, I uninstalled this crap, matches and candles?, just insert a simple torch!

There are torches. And if you mean one you can hold, then there is the lantern you find later. But it uses oil that you need to find to refill it.

What worked for me regarding the missing crosshair was. Using this guide to cap the framerate to 60 FPS.

Then setting my monitors refresh rate to 60 Hz.

We might have found a fix for the missing crosshair / UI problem. See here for more info: https://steamcommunity.com/app/999220/discussions/0/3115898713371044188/

lmao jesus christ it's really simple to do. And you get the latern also. Like Amnesia is all about light and dark effects, that was the backbone of the first game.

In TDD all you had to do is to go to candle and light it up. That was it. But in here you have to light the match up first and then you can light the candle. What the f*ck for?! Who asked for this? Why was it necessary to needlessly complicate simple action? Just so they could say "hey, we added new thing"?

The match is a light source, first and foremost. It doesn't exist just to light things and if that's the way you're approaching it, you're going to be frustrated out of your mind because you'll constantly be running out of matches because your'e trying to light anything and everything.

And hoo boy you'll really hate the last third of the game where you no longer have the lantern and are forced to use only matches again.

Bruh, did you bother to check my profile? I finished the game twice already. Keeping the same functionality is in TDD would take nothing away and it'd keep them as light source on their own. Again: needlessly complicating simple action.

[IndigoAK]

There's not a single situation in this game where you'd want to light something without your match already being out. You're whining just to whine.

Go masturbate to your anime collection or something. Your inner edge lord is showing.

Ah, the good old "I'm losing the argument, let's insult him instead". It always puts a smile on my face. :)

They overcorrected by giving you a ridiculously low inventory cap. Instead of moving through the darkness with concern for stealth, I'm just walking through the dark waiting to get my next match only to use it immediately because there's no point to conservation.
