Why is it so hard to start a fire with firestarter now?

[Remuluson2]

Before 1.18 when I tried using a firestarter it was like 4-5 tries to get fire going. Now I can't get it even after 20 tries.
Am I doing something wrong?

I am playing on wilderness survival.

wrong version

[Streetwind]

The Firestarter was not changed in any way. You were just unlucky.

50 tries on a torch, also somehow my flint tools regain durability when I reload my singleplayers game??
All of this feels super scuffed + cursed

[Remuluson2]

Yeah... Looks like I have a problem with constant "desync" with invisible logs staying in my inventory, tools not consuming durability and according to the game there was no fuel in the firepit even tho I constructed it.
I think I need to reinstall vintage story

[Remuluson2]

Yeah, i reinstalled vintage story and now it works properly. I think updater broke one my clientside parts of the game but I never noticed because I play on multiplayer and only tried singleplayer again just now.
