Friend set 2 fires (one above the other) and died to hypothermia instantly
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

My friend was "freezing" so was building a fire in one of the small hay barns with the stairs at either side and boxes on the floor.

He lit his first fire on the first floor of one of the platforms (he was unaware of the bug about building fires in buildings).

He had just turned Hypothermic while building the fire. Once the fire was burning on the 1st floor he noticed he could not get the “I am slowly warming up” message so he went and built a second fire on the goundnd floor directly beneath the first fire.

Once it was lit, he got told "my face was melting" briefly then he shuffled around the fire in different positions to try and get the “I am slowly warming up” message but then within seconds he was dead.

Second friend went into the barn and went from normal (he wasnt even cold) to hypothermic within seconds. It seems like the fires were sucking the heat from him. He managed to run out the barn before dying

Hi Beav,
I have not been able to reproduce the issue here and everything seems to be configured correctly on our end. The issue has probably been fixed by one of the recent tweaks to the fireplace system.
Please definitely feel free to submit another ticket if the issue persists.
Thank you for your report,
Andy
