Rinner23 5 Posted June 17, 2012 I love this update, but for some reason I cannot get Any flashlights to work! I've tried the headlights binding but nothing happens... No sound or light at all! Flare etc work fine. Anyone else had this problem and maybe a solution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted June 17, 2012 I have had a similar problem pre patch actually. I reset my video settings and it all works fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arkental 5 Posted June 17, 2012 Happened to me a few times. Oddly enough if I turn the flashlight towards the ground I can turn it on/off, not while pointing it in any direction though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimlacy 19 Posted June 17, 2012 I have the same issue, cannot for the life of me turn on my flashlight, persistent on all servers i've tried, and restarting the game also doesn't help.I used flashlights before without a problem though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tremulant 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Yep same issue, hammering L until my finger went raw! First time I ever played on a night time server was tonight and it worked fine, the game is really cool with just a flash-light very scary and atmospheric, HOWEVER like a noob I died and then I couldn't work the flash-light again, changed servers, re spawned nothing worked so I have had to give in and use a daylight server. :huh::huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zedqube@gmail.com 3 Posted June 17, 2012 You have the flashlight actually out and pointing right? Like guns, it might have a "down" state where you are not pointing it. Try left clicking to get it out then trying to turn it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garbit 2 Posted June 17, 2012 I too have this issue :/ its impossible to play without a light source nowadays and its annoying i have to find day time servers. The night is so much more interesting and scarey! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
