Hi Andy,

I believe I've discovered the cause. Seems my PSU is not beefy enough to run the GTX 670, while it handles the 760 fine. This can probably be closed, thanks.

ichypantz: The behavior we are describing is not a result of "works as intended" cold mechanic. We're discussing a bug wherein you get constantly spammed by temperature message regardless of what you're wearing, and your temperature remains fixed at 35C. Sometimes you get a cold status and sometimes you don't, but the behavior is clearly buggy.

A new development: I verified my local cache files, and the "cold" status went away. However, the cooling messages remained. I also finally found a thermometer, and I appear to be happily running around at 35C with no cold status and no ill effects.

I wonder if some sort of movement-related heat mechanic was added in the hotfix. I was testing earlier today and when I moved, the cold status went away. When I stopped moving, it immediately returned. I also noticed that my hydration and nutrition stats were decreasing at a faster rate than normal.

Yeah, I don't think the effect I observed had anything to do with movement and heat. I think there's something bugged about the temperature status, and movement generated changes in my surroundings sufficient to trigger the problem. I was getting spammed with messages, and the cold indicator would appear and disappear rapidly as I moved around.

I've noticed with my current character that the temperature changes seem somewhat random. In the course of about 10 minutes, the light brown "cold" status appeared and disappeared several times. I tried to narrow down the cause, but going inside a building didn't seem to help. I couldn't build a fire, so I ended up logging off to avoid death. I did notice that the cold status seemed to disappear more when I was moving, but even that wasn't consistent. I did try swapping boots, but to no effect.
