Building a fire

[B1ueMorph0 16]

Has anyone actually been able to build a fire and light it? I’m Xbox one X. 

I build the fire using sticks and rags. Place it on the floor by holding LT. The character performs the animation, but when he stands up his hands are still in the position like the fire is in his hands. Yet the fire is on the ground. I can’t place anything into my hands from my inventory, or pick anything up. So due to this I can’t light the fire. I have to log out the server and then go back in to fix my hand position.

The same glitch happens for me, it seems there is no fix besides leaving the game and joining back. The way I've made my fires is by making it on the ground and not putting it in my inventory. Once you put it in your inventory you seem to be screwed, and can only drop it or keep it there. 

You can make a fire on the ground by holding the rag in your hand and looking at the stick on the ground and holding RT , it works this way for me, at least.
