Gameplay problem....Help someone?

[Kenai_]

Okay, well i got the game recently, and up until now I've been stuck....well i ran and shot everything up in the research base, and got the documents. I then headed to 'the bar' and everything was okay, i talked to the trader etc. and then i started noticing my food indicator

i took some bread, it was all good after that, until it came back on 5 or so seconds later. i took some more....and then it came back again

Anyway, i looked at the clock, and realised it had sped up to about an hour or so every 3 seconds

so naturally, i began to keep getting hungry

Any ideas on why this would happen? (only started happening after id talked to the trader about the lab x18 mission)

Also
my flashlight doesnt work
any reason for that?
(sorry for the long paragraph )


Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

are you using the 1.1 patch because in the original version u cud speed up time and this sounds like wat u have done.. in the new patch this has been disabled.. or go in to ur options and find out the controls for slowing down time

Ah, no i haven't got any patches. Apparently patches corrupt game saves?

But okay, i'll do the options thing

Thanks
