I’ve been seeing an error with the bear pelt being labeled differently when clicked on. If you hover over it you’ll see “Bear pelt” but when you click on it you’ll see “One Rabbit Pelt” in the description. Lol.

Marine flares also show up as a dark object rather than their normal bright blue.

When placing the hatchet it jumps from red to green almost constantly, making it hard to place on certain surfaces.

All minor issues. Just wanted to bring it to your attention. I’m glad the match glitch was fixed.
