What is Problem Bar
The Problem bar in My Winter Car replaces the old third system. You can easily manage it by drinking some specific items. It represents alcohol and stimulant dependency rather than simple hydration.
The Beer can lower the Problem bar, and the alcohol can significantly mitigate it. Drinking water doesn’t have any effect on this bar. Once this is full, your character may die instantly. Drinking the water only feels ineffective.
How Drinking Can Affect Problem Bar
Poor management of the problem bar can lead to fatal situations for your character. Interact with the item to drink to reduce the bar. You need to pick up the drinking item and drink it normally. Don’t need to press any button or go to your menu to drink the water, alcohol, or beer.
The high level of the Problem bar means your character has a high dependency and stress. You can acquire the drinks from different places on the map. Beer and alcohol can be purchased from the Teimo. You can also get the drinks from the start apartment of the game.
However, drinking too much has side effects as well. It affects your driving if you drink alcohol. Drinking too much can end checkpoint saves. You need to use it only when required. If you’re drinking water, you may notice that the Problem bar is not decreasing.
Using energy drinks allows the problem to slowly mitigate. Drinking too much while driving can kill you in a car crash. Make sure to create a balance between using alcohol and maintaining this bar. Handling it badly will lead the situation to a worse state. Alcohol is easy to buy, and drinking beer affects the bar.
Drinking alcohol, beer, and vodka also increases the risk of passing out or dying. Smoking cigarettes can also slowly reduce the Problem bar. Keep in mind that ignoring the basic needs increases the Problem bar.
