It would probably be best to disable all control devices besides keyboard/mouse and gamepads, while the controls don't support at least enabling/disabling input devices.

I've reproduced this on a clean steam download, in the tutorial (version 0.9.5.44)

This appears to be fixed in 1.10; I haven't seen a plate carrier get to the same high weight in rain. That said, the amount of mass growth is probably still a bit too much; the Cordura or similar material in a plate carrier like that shouldn't absorb more than 2L of water maximum.

The plate carrier by itself with no attachments weighs 24kg when drenched.

It MIGHT have something to do with the people that survived the character wipe. I am getting that problem and I survived the wipe. Are any other people getting this playing on a character from before the wipe?

This happens in buildings when you have shadows off, IIRC.

OP please update game version on the report. It persists in 113822.

Actually, this was in Electro.

If you have shadows on, the flashlight may work as expected.

Current fix: relog. It does not kill you, and you should be awake.
