Hi Sir, :D

I Was Beginning the Endgame "Defend Rh'Ihho Station", but couldn't get a Flashlight in the Beginning of the game; the box where you can get the Flashlights, simply isn't highlighted any more ...

Because a Flashlight is highly recommended in some games, I Took the Mission "What Lies Beneath", just for the Flashlight ! But when I Came to the box with the Optional Flashlights, again the box wasn't highlighted, and you couldn't get a Flashlight !

If this bug is unique just for My account, then I Apoligize for the trouble I'm Causing. But if NOBODY is able to get a Flashlight any more, then I Would Like to Report a bug !

If I'm not in the right Forum for Reporting a Bug, then I Apoligize once again ; I've NEVER Reported a Bug before !

    I don't know if this is strictly related, but I have the flashlight but I've never noticed it have ant actual effect in the mission. I have it equipped to my captain and I think it's activated, but doesn't seem to actually make anything brighter. Am I the only one with this issue?
    It's not my fault if you feel trolled by my Disco ball... Sorry'boutit.

    When activated it should hover above your characters shoulder and send a cone of light forward. Just like a real flashlight (without the hovering of course.)

    Is it just me, or does the Allfather have a very entertaining style of posting? :P

    They are weird .. It works fine if Im on the main computer but if Im using a laptop they never work.. Must be to do with certain drivers or GPUs I guess

    I suspect that they are a/effected by some of the graphics settings

    Greetings to those that don't see the Light form the Flashlight -

    I had the same problem at one time. I play on an old Mac so had at one point taken ALL the graphics down to the minimum setting manually and would not get the flashlight beam (or Borg eye Laser effects and other "fun" stuff like that) as a result.

    To correct the issue, make sure your "Visual Effects" is set to AT LEAST Low (this also effects the way ships blow up in space) - I BELIEVE that is what solved the problem of it not showing up for me (I actually made the change so I could see my Liberated Borg's eye laser, and then discovered that the flashlight showed up the next time I used it as well, so I assume this is it)
