I was able to experience the bug with the crafted storage, but I haven't been able to reproduce or fix it yet so I'll leave those out of the game for now. I will focus on fixing the in-game storage, but I can't reproduce that bug either. Any info on how to reproduce that bug would be greatly helpful. I suspect it only happens after loading a save.
When it happened to you at the cabin by the waterfall, you said that you left and then when you came back the storage items were missing. Do you remember if you saved and loaded within the time you were away from the cabin, or was it a continuous play through?
For the fire, does it only break after loading a save? After it breaks, does a new crafted or different in-game fire still work? I'm having trouble reproducing this bug too.
Thanks again.
Good news is that I figured out how to get the video settings to persist after restarting. New update is up now and I'm currently writing the patch notes that include other fixes.
