The light source of the headtorch is ~1m above the person's head. This is slightly annoying for two reasons:
Most easily seen from a 3rd party's view point, but the effects are obvious from the player.
Best workaround for the buildings is to place the headtorch into your hands and then raise your fists.
I also experience this when I use the head torch. It isn't just silly. The light doesn't work in buildings with low ceilings because the light floats above it. Also the light being so high above your head is like a massive beacon for any bandits in the area. I think this issue is actually bad enough to be a detriment to players experience of night time in DayZ, which is bad considering players are experiencing the new night for the first time right now.
The same thing happens to me.
And adding, looking down the light does not lighten the floor, it stays lightening only forward.
Yes, this can be closed, as I have opened a new ticket for the remaining problem of the light emitting source being ~1m in front of the player -> https://feedback.bistudio.com/T135189
