[Bug] Food buffs cannot be refreshed (and sometimes break entirely?)
Version 3.0.0.150086-SHIPPING-DANGEROUSHORIZONS. Playing on Prometheus, Open World.
Normally, by eating the same food again, a food buff can be refreshed, e.g. from 120s to 20m. However, we found that until the buff had been fully removed - whether manually or with the timer running out - eating the same food had no effect. So eating a piece of carrot cake at 15s did not give a 20m buff but instead nothing.
Might be a separate but related bug: Under certain conditions eating wouldn't even generate a new buff. (e.g., if you had 0/3 food buffs, eating bacon would do nothing). We haven't been able to reproduce this however, but given it relates to food buff issues, it's probably related. Exiting and restarting the map fixed this issue. Not related to the placement of food in the inventory or the type of food.

I've been able to replicate this bug. For me it was the Culinex backpack interfering. When equipped it wont allow you to consume new buffs from food or refresh them. You end up with 1/5 food buffs active, eating food does nothing, however unequipping the backpack allows new buffs to be applied. -

OrcaoI was stuck at 3/4 (I have the talent) food buffs all night, wasted food re-eating to try and fill the slot. Seems to be a new bug as I've never had this happen pre-Elysium.

Therunner MergedFor some reason, sometimes eating a food will not refresh it's food buff duration. Moreover, it will actually remove other food buffs. I notice it the most when eating cakes and coconut cookie or the new banana bread. But I will eat 3 cakes, and then eat a coconut cookie, and a cake buff will disappear and I will have 4/5 food buffs. Then eat another cookie, 3/5 food buffs. Only when the cookie is the only food buff left can I refresh the cookie food buff timer. But sometimes, it gets worse, and I will not be able to get the cake buff back at all, or I won't be able to get the cookie food buff back at all. With banana bread, eventually it will just stop letting me get the banana bread food buff timer at all. The same has actually happened with the banana tart released with Elysium as well. I will sit at 4/5 food buffs and eat a whole stack of banana bread and never get the banana bread food buff.
