I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this glitch before—although Google and YouTube don't have any easily found records of it, and the forum search only brought up a vague description that might have been it, but the picture accompanying it is gone.

Anyway, I was playing through Cleopatra's Palace to get a Black Beetle and as I opened one of the doors with the crowbar, I noticed it was a little dark. Naturally, I drew flare, and Lara went through the motions of drawing it, but no light was produced. If I drew my weapon, she would throw the flare and it would magically appear. I tried it again after the next door, and found that it happened again. I then tried it in the oil pool, but it actually lit this time. I loaded the save a few times, and it did it each time. Hmmmm. :pi:

So, has anyone else found this glitch to work repeatedly in certain areas?

Stella discusses an identical-sounding bug at the end of her Temple of Horus description (and I've experienced it there; on PC).

I encountered this glitch quite a lot in the Temple of Horus (last level) it has always worked fine up to this level.

Sounds like the StateIDs for the animations are buggy!! D:

A couple of days ago I saw Lara holding a flare with no flame in TR4, but the location slips my mind, sorry. (It wasn't Temple of Horus.)
