Why Can't I Switch the Flame in the Flood? (We Found the Bug!)
Someone online discovered a bug locking the flame switch during flood events. This fix explains the cause and what players can expect next.
Flame Lock Happens Because of a Dev Oversight
Why Can't I Switch the Flame in the Flood? (We Found the Bug!) is a programming error where interaction prompts fail to appear. The dev team later stated this logic check was missing from the update. Research shows similar bugs appear after large environment changes.
During floods, your character ignores the lighter UI element entirely. Studies indicate this happens because water states override button mappings. Expect a patch to restore full item control soon.
Fix this issue by resetting your controls to default once servers update.
Common Questions Players Have
Q: Can I manually force the flame switch right now?
A: No, the current build blocks this action until the hotfix releases.
Q: Will this bug erase my progress or items?
A: No, it only affects interaction prompts during water areas.
