I think so. I dont do a lot of night hunting. Im taking a break from the game rn to be honest. Waiting for The holdiays to get all dlcs

stiff barn
#

I'm playing with my friends on multiplayer, and whenever I shoot an animal, it leaves no tracks at all if it runs. Is this a feature of the game??

mossy hinge
#

@stiff barn its a known bug

stiff barn
#

oh

crimson pelican
#

how come on steam it only says its 36gb but in reality its way more

shrewd hare
#

All dlc maps are in the game files even if you don't own them. They are needed because you can play any map in multiplayer without buying it yourself.

crimson pelican
#

oh i see

#

any way i can delete that without causing anything bad?

shrewd hare
#

Nope

crimson pelican
#

oh

#

okay thanks

silent hatch
#

The light does not spook or bother animals in this game

loud crater
#

Thank you!

crimson pelican
#

what dlc do you guys recommend me getting

silent hatch
#

Do you have any dlc

crimson pelican
#

no

#

im downloading the game right now

#

but i want to know if i like it what the best dlc is

silent hatch
#

Its kind of needed at night bc if u dont use the light u would have to have the night vision goggles to hunt at night bc you cant see any tracks and barely any animals

#

Id get a weapon pack or 2 so you start off with badass guns

crimson pelican
#

okay thank you

Hello all, I’ve tried searching previous posts but could not find an answer,
I have tried to stream COTW using Stream Labs OBS on the Game Capture option, and it is completely unwatchable, the frames are so jumpy and the whole thing is laggy.

My PC is not the issue, it surpasses all of the the the recommendations and I have streamed AAA graphically demanding titles like Godfall on ultra settings with no issues. For trouble shooting I even tried lowering the graphic settings right down and it made no difference.

My internet speed or connection is not the issue.

It appears to be an issue between SLOBS and COTW, does anybody know any work arounds for this at all?

Thanks in advance guys.

Matt

silent hatch
# crimson pelican okay thank you

Id get weapon pack 1 , has a 22 rifle great for hunting small game and includes the best bow in game / then id get weapon pack 3 has 3 great rifles ones for medium game ones for big game and ones for small game like coyotes and crap like that something a 22 wont work on

#

With those 2 packs you will instantly be able to hunt anything in the game

#

Prob not a external graphics card man perhaps better to use a internal or hard graphics card

#

Like one that connects to the motherboard or a software that isnt garbage

#

Worth a try just get a crap one thats free that u can install and see if lag etc is their if not worth perhaps taking that path

crimson pelican
#

Okay thanks! what do you think about the tents and the atv?

Ok btw what is max weight roe deer

#

Because i just killed a female lvl one roe deer with a weight estimate of 29-35 kg

arctic quartz
#

@verbal frost sometimes in multiplayer tracks will just stop showing up so if you shoot a diamond you could lose it if they decide to disappear

I see ok mate thx alot

supple sigil
#

I just started two days ago and I think I’m around level 6 or 7 any tips on finding diamond white or black tail?

#

I also bought the tree stand and tripod dlc how far away do you have to be to not spook animals

arctic quartz
#

@supple sigil make sure you have the right ammo and find lots of feed zones only kill males so that they respawn better

supple sigil
#

@arctic quartz Thank you

arctic quartz
#

No problem

supple sigil
#

How far away from animals should I put my stand so I don’t spook them

arctic quartz
#

Depends

#

What gun do you have

supple sigil
#

On white tail deer or black tail

Normally like 100-50-150 I’ve never actually gone diamond hunting

#

There is tons of videos tho

@supple sigil idk if tripods spook them tbh

#

u have 0 visibility when ur on them

fresh thunder
#

sometimes when i open my map there are some circles on them that disappear after a couple seconds, does anyone know what those are?

lyric moth
#

no i dont know but its me happening too

If you scroll up it's a need zone or a stand or something that's hasn't gone away just yet but the insignia is gone but not circle around it is not

last hemlock
#

In the game, the .45/.410 is extremely loud for some reason, even louder than the .338

#

I have no clue why

silent hatch
# last hemlock I have no clue why

Prob just a mistake but really all these calibers u stated are just around 150 decibels with the difference around 10 decibels which is just the sound of someone breathing next to you

#

So the difference should be basically nothing but owell

rare mortar
#

10 decibels louder is actually about twice as loud

#

so 0-10 = a very light sound

#

150->160 dB is twice as loud as 150 dB

silent hatch
#

Oh yea ur right at that point every 10 decibels is 10 times louder

what time is god for white tail deeer

Is there a way to turn off geese tracks? They're everywhere and it makes finding other animal tracks really really difficult

They're leaving prints behind from flying overhead. Bug?

arctic moth

Its poop

If its tracks i heard they do land certain times to drink and then back to flying

Ive never seen them land for water though nor have i ever had tracks other then feces when i called them to land

Hey so the grelck drilling rifle ill have both ammo equipped im on ps4 and it says to tap and hold triangle but nothing ever happens i tried tapping and just plain holding triangle whats up with that gun

#

How u work it or was it just bugged out

wet idol
#

were u on multiplayer? @silent hatch

shrewd hare
#

Holding will switch the ammo you're gonna use. Ammo icon should change in the bottom right corner.

wet idol
#

ye but @shrewd hare alot of times in multiplayer

#

ive had a problem where i cant switch ammo type

#

so i think hes having that issue

shrewd hare
#

Huh, weird. And it's only in mp? Have you reported it?

wet idol
#

i havent reported it lol

#

ye only on mp

#

but sometimes it works

I'd suggest sending a ticket. Haven't seen that reported to the bug-reports channel.

Are there any known issues with streaming through slobs? One of my friends with a new PC (Ryzen 3950X, 3080) is having a massive amount of issues with frame drops. The game runs perfectly fine, but drops frames like mad on the actual stream itself

#

(Original resolution 1080p, downscaled to 720p, 6500 bitrate)

signal gyro
#

Do they have the upload speed to backup that 6500 bitrate setting?

last hemlock
#

Yep! 220 down 12 up. Other newer games work perfectly like cod so I was wondering if it had to do with optimization with maybe the ryzen chip or the 30 series or something in the streaming settings

signal gyro
#

I would try lowering the bitrate a bit and see if it improves as a first step.

last hemlock
#

It kinda looks like the stream runs perfectly fine when they're standing still, but the second there's any sort of movement, it gets to an unwatchable level. We already tried that I'm afraid ): tried going down to 2000 and same issues

#

I can DM you a link to the VOD if that'd help at all!

Go for it.

Can you do this and DM me the results?

On the keyboard, hold down the WINDOWS key and then hit R.

Set the desired folder to save to, enter a filename, and then click Save.

loud crater
#

I've been watching Flinter's beginner series lately and I noticed the guy is literally running around under 200 meters of animals and they never spook. I on the other hand pretty much scare away anything even if I just walk normally. Is there anything he is doing special in those videos I might be missing?

umm help lol

i got .300 and stuff on other pc but now it says i only have 3k rifle score and stuff

@shrewd hare do u know anything about how to fix it

shrewd hare
#

Don't remember from top of my head if there was a fix for that, sorry!

olive shoal
#

@loud crater are you wearing a backpack?

loud crater
#

I am now, but not before. Why?

arctic moth
loud crater
#

eww. thanks for that info! i feel like I just spent a lot of money for nothing

#

considering I barely find animals as itis 😦

arctic moth
#

Yea, you should be using that on scopes and ammo, if you a decent amount try to get the rangefinder or a new gun

#

Have you tried hunting by water?

loud crater
#

but even before I bought the pack I still found it hard to find any animals outside of warning calls (and even then I rarely find the animal that did it)

arctic moth
#

Hunting by water at the right time can yield tons of animals

loud crater
#

I do go to water, I sometimes find need zones there too but either its all moose which my beginner rifle can't kill or animals getting spooked

#

I've been living off of rabbits for a while now 🤣

#

and only cause they're not the smartest, I think? They would sit there even if I'm a few steps away and not move

arctic moth
#

If you cant kill a moose with the 243, try waiting for it to look at you and shoot it either between the eyes or between the legs near the bottom

loud crater
#

I'll try that, thanks! I did see the videos where they make a heart shot. I'll try it out

arctic moth
#

And if it isnt looking at you shoo it behind the eyes, that should be a guaranteed drop, just remember to drop this advice when you get better guns and ammo

loud crater
#

why's that?

arctic moth
#

Because you should start shooting behind the shoulder in the middle of the body

#

So you can hit a lung or double lung

loud crater
#

how is that better than head/heart shot? I really ahve no idea sorry

arctic moth
#

Because later you'll start a hunt for a diamond animal, and one of the requirements for an animal to make diamond is you cant hit the trophy organ on an animal

#

And the trophy organ for almost all animals is the skull

#

The others animals that dont have skull as trophy organs are class 1s

#

Like rabbits, ducks, geese, turkeys

loud crater
#

oh cool. thanks!

#

though you did give me more questions withthat answer 🤣

#

like what do you mean by "an animal to make diamond"

arctic moth
#

Diamond is the highest medal for most animals

loud crater
#

meaning it will go down a... rank...? if I shoot it in the head

arctic moth
#

You can only obtain diamond on a animal thats max level and you pass all the harvest checks.

#

The scoring on the animal must also make the minimum score for diamond

loud crater
#

ahh

arctic moth
#

Now time for the harvest checks

#

One harvest check is integrity

#

Meaning you have to shootnthe animal witht he right class of ammo

#

The next one is that you cant shoot it more than 2 times

#

Another one is you must not damage the trophy organ, aka skull.

#

And the last one is you must hit a vital organ

#

Like brain, lungs, liver, heart, lower neck.

#

But getting brain and passing all harvest checks is a reallybhard thing to do

loud crater
#

oh wow. so much to learn. I didn't even think the ammo mattered

#

I just thought you killed stuff and it can just happen to be diamond/gold/etc

arctic moth
#

Also, when you unlock them, USE polymer tips

#

They are incredibly useful

loud crater
#

aren't those the ones that don't penetratemuch?

arctic moth
#

Poly tips penetrate more

loud crater
#

ah

arctic moth
#

Soft points dont penetrate much

loud crater
#

gotcha! 😄

arctic moth
#

You can make double lungs with the 243 with poly tips and kill deer almost instantly

#

And pick them up and get about 1000 each

loud crater
#

I still gotta find those deer though. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong besides the backpack

arctic moth
#

Dont run too much

#

Only run when you know there isnt anything around

#

Try hunting water at 12 to 15. You'll find whitetail deer

loud crater
#

Flinter runs around a lot in his beginner series and the animals don't seem to mind. But yeah, I do walk mostly and avoid running when I'm trying to find animals

arctic moth
#

If you find a level 3 do what i told you to do and hit it in the torso by the shoulder

loud crater
#

why level 3?

arctic moth
#

Thats the max level for whitetail deer

loud crater
#

ohhhh

arctic moth
#

Besides level 10, but thats a great one which is rare as fuck

wet idol
#

can u ruin a great one

#

by not passing harvest check

Just a little something that I made to help you keep track of all the diamond animals that you've gotten! I've created a challenge amongst my community to (individually) during the live-streams, to mark off each animal in our open lobbies. Hopefully there is some of you that might enjoy using this to track your own 🙂

#

so i want a diamond redfox and i dont realy hunt redfox usualy so hirchfelden or yukon which one is better for it and can someone please tell me where to hunt in these maps ?

#

i personally prefer hirschfelden because you can just walk across the fields and you will eventually find something and if you prefer to camp you can set up a tripod and a tent a bit north to a petershain lake on a cornfield i found some foxes there

#

ok thanks

#

can others give their ideas too please ?

last hemlock
#

@last hemlock
Red fox on Hirschfeld lakes on top left and lakes in the bottom and petershain lake is real good
Time to hunt 1900 to 2300 is drinking time get there about 2000.
Yukon lakes in the middle and on left top lakes
Same thing drinks time.
When you come across a track in the day time. Squat and track down. You will get a lot of rest zones like that.

#

anybody know the best place to find diamonds on yukon? ive searched all over and still can't find it

spring girder

There is no one location for that, apart from hotspots for certain animals. Keep shooting them and you'll get those diamonds. I don't think there is any guaranteed one on your map from the start.

last hemlock
#

@warped crane
All callers
Start out with 2 calls, then 1 every 30 seconds your time. Don't call a lot at 1 time. The most at 1 time is 3. The higher the level will get spooked quickly with 2 many continues calls. Get skill increases strength for callers. It helps.

Hey guys. I had a question about ammunition choices. When is it good to use largely expanding ammo vs polymer tipped ammo? Should I just sue the polymer on 5+ animals for the pure penetration?

shrewd hare
#

Polymer is highly praised to be the better bullet overall.

hybrid pawn
#

So is there really any reason to use the expanding ammo? Besides cost?

last hemlock
#

no

#

always use more expensive ammo

#

it is better in just about every way but cost

hybrid pawn
#

Ok. Thanks.

little radish
#

Polymer guarantees a take down if it’s a lung shot

#

For 7mm at least

#

Recommended range

slow flare
#

hello, i'm a returning cotw player who doesn't know anything about guns and ammunition is very confusing to me
is there a list of weapons, sorted by recommended classes with ammo types required for this weapon?

little radish
#

What

#

Each caliber and two bullets

#

So 223 has two bullets 270 has two bullets and so on

slow flare
#

how do i know which rifles use .338

#

also i remember there was a pistol that could use shotgun ammo

#

which one was it?

#

i want to have an arsenal that is able to kill any class
rn i have .300 canning magnum, iwaniec, whitlock model 86, virant .22LR

#

but it's getting a bit boring wanna try out other guns

#

but choosing gun is very confusing to me

arctic moth
#

I use 22lr, 243,6.5mm, 300 canning

silent hatch
# hybrid pawn Ok. Thanks.

I use polymer in most case scenarios i only ever use soft point when theirs a perfect horizontal broadside for double lung or a perfect front faced shot for heart the soft points expansion makes them bleed out way more then normal and most cases die on the spot even if you have the perfect broadside or front face only use soft point if within 50meters or 100 meters max as the bullet becomes less powerful with longer range and doesnt guarantee the kill

little radish
#

@slow flare well

silent hatch
#

Have to have that perfect angle tho soft point is bad for piercing if its a quarterface or something it wont do much at all

#

Or if u hit a shoulder ur screwed have to have a perfect shot

little radish
#

I rock 7mm which is 4-9 pretty much everything in the game if I’m not mistaken and I rock 223 which is 2-4

#

So that’s pretty much any class at recommended level

hybrid pawn
#

Any chance the devs are working on the disappearing footprints in MP?

You could try (slight chance of working) marking the location and then leaving render range (450m to be safe) and then returning.

they are vocal like the rabbits

#

yeah but is there any hotspots?

plain steeple
#

What do the random burrows do

crude horizon
#

Wander around until you find any roe deer and either follow it or work the tracks backwards - it will lead you to roe deer need zones that you can cycle through.

#

At least that's what ive been doing to find hotspots, hopefully someone has a better idea because that tends to take a while.

So I'm confused, it says that you get twenty two skillpoints and perkpoints, I have eighteen of each, and I leveled up I think...twice? After getting said amount, and haven't been getting perkpoints or skillpoints for those levels

#

Why?

#

Do I start getting perk points and skillpoints again after a few levels?

signal gyro
#

You get a point every level, from level 2-37, it alternates between skill and perk points, with skill at 2, perk at 3, skill at 4, perk at 5, etc.

Once you hit 37, you get a point every three levels, with the next one being a perk point at 40, skill at 43, etc., to the max level cap of 60, for a grand total of 22 skill points and 22 perk points.

Ahhh, okay thank you!

silent hatch
# little radish The tower where you sit?

All tripods ,blinds etc make you practically invisible aswell as allow the hunter to be able to kill alot more animals in the area without causing the hunting pressure to rise to much

#

Normally 3 kills in a area wipes all need zones so all animals that use that area will no longer use it and only travel through it and wont stop to get necessities

#

Where as a blind or tripod etc allows the hunter to get like 13 or 15 kills before hunting pressure gets to high

So... do geese work in multiplayer? I see a flock or two, but then it is just empty

undone garden
#

yes

spring girder
silent hatch
#

If you cant spot them then u cant shoot them and those seem to be just for decoration just go to a field of corn and call im some

shrewd hare
#

You need decoys and the caller to get the geese break their form and start landing. If they fly in V-shape, they can't be killed and thats when you start calling them.

silent hatch
#

Its just a bug though ive had a blind set up decoys and was calling and had a flock fly over head couldnt spot them and they just kept flying just like when you spawn to start your hunt on hirsh they fly overhead too

shrewd hare
#

Hmm haven't hunted them for a moment but they don't always break. Sometimes they just ignore your calls and keep flyhing.

silent hatch
#

I hunt small game mostly but whenever you first spawn in hirsh their is a flock that usually flies overhead and it cant be spotted or shot down however rarely this will occur while hunting them u place ur blind u place ur decoys and call and then a flock will fly in a huge triangle flock and it cant be spotted it can be shot they just keep flying have had it happen less then a handful of times

#

But i did notice after it occured a flock doesnt fly in for a good while for me so idk if the game registers it as a actual flock or if i was unlucky at time but nothing sucks more then waiting forever for a flock to fly in and it being the bugged one :/

Interesting, thanks for the help! My SP map is flock after flock. Guess my MP map is different

last hemlock
#

Yeah as long as it's your actual map

#

If you don't know, when you play a multiplayer map that you aren't hosting, you're playing on the map of the person hosting it. To mean that your Hirschfelden contains need zones in different places and animals of different ratings than, say, my Hirschfelden. Where you might have like two diamond red deer on your map, I might only have one.

arctic moth

He could be in yukon

last hemlock

Well I just said a map to name a map

#

That system is in place for every map in the game

#

Every person's Cuatro Colinas is a little different from the last, same with their Yukon or any other map they might be on.

#

The point is, as long as you are on your map, anything you hunt, even if you fuck up, will still be there later as long as it doesn't die.

#

I fucked up a shot on a diamond axis earlier today but I'm not worried because he didn't die. I just have to wait for him to show up again.

what is the best way to get diamonds to spawn
(want to get my first one, going for white/blacktail)

i think since diamond spawns are a flat percentage of spawns, there isn't much you can do expect kill all

#

0.1% off all animals are diamond or so

dark mango
#

where did you get that number

#

I don't think it's that low

last hemlock

It's roughly 1%-2% of all animals are diamond

#

Not nearly .1% but it's still pretty damn low

silent hatch

Its .1% its a 1 in 1000 are diamond kill 1000 white tail deer and u should get atleast 1 diamond if u get lucky u should get maybe 2 or 3

#

1% would be 1 in 100 so no just no lol

#

I know people hunting for a great one and kill about 200 + a day so yea def not 1% as they would get 2 diamonds a day ... A great one is 1 in 10,000

And we got these numbers from a kind soul who got into the game files and got all the sweet info we are so curious about its how we know the rarity of each fur and how we know the rarity of diamonds and a great one

@zenith tendon One last thing for your crashing. Do you have mods installed? Those will crash your game since they are not officially supported and updates have chance to break them.

Hey there

#

got a Question. My Stats are messed up. Only Animals from 2019 and 18 in there?

#

Is it bugged?

tacit cloak
#

I started a new Save now but the COTW Hunting Beta Club still unavailable

#

Is it currently working atm?

lavish mica
#

How long does hunting pressure take to go away?

#

like in irl time

shrewd hare
#

it's not based on time. It fades away when you hunt else where in the map.

thx

I'm new to using different rifles for different tiers of animals so I have a question let's say I have a rifle meant for tier 2 to 6 animals and the 2nd rifle for tiers 4 to 8 and I find an animal that's a tier 6 which one do I use.

limpid aurora
#

@brazen citrus both would count for that animal going for a trophy score, so my answer would be the one that's in hand or the one you most comfortable using depending on how far the animal is or behind to much shrub. i personally use the weapon that's 2-7 unless i feel like pulling out the old powder gun / bow. ( sorry don't have the weapons memorized by tier )

dark mango
#

I'd use the 4-8 because bigger is always better and I always use the highest legal ammo I have at my disposal

#

that way you'll save yourself many meters tracking wounded animals

lavish mica
#

Also always use polymer tips if you have the money for it for taking down bigger game, unless you are using the .243 and have better guns, then use the free soft tips

brazen citrus
#

I use polymer on my bigger game gun

arctic moth
#

Polys are best on all guns

brazen citrus
#

I'm too cheap tho

#

Anyways

#

I'm planning on saving a bunch of money so when I buy Yukon valley DLC I'll buy the gun for that DLC

#

How good is the gun from the Yukon valley dlc?

arctic moth
#

The 300 is amazing

#

Its got 4 in a magazine, covers 7-9, can take down a moose in seconds with poly tips

That's nice to know

Is it possible for need zones to go away or dissapear

split knoll
#

@lavish mica yes, if there is too much hunting pressure in an area, the need zone goes away for a little while and I think you have to rediscover it later

lavish mica
#

sounds about right, thank you

#

also on layton lakes on single player, have the animals been spazzing out for anyone else

What's the best rifle for geese

Shotgun might be more effective tho. Call geese in, shotgun as many as you can and shoot fleeing ones with the .22lr.

What time is goose need zones and where i hear one person say they dont have them then the next say they do etc etc. I have seen tracks so i do know they land just idk if its for drinking or resting or feeding or if they even do all 3

shrewd hare
#

Geese don't have need zones. They fly over the map and you need to have decoys and caller to get them down. I've heard people telling that you can sometimes find geese on fields without decoys but that's pretty rare.

Hmm i find tracks and droppings and stuff sometimes so it seemed legit 😅

Which bullet do you guys prefer for the air rifle? Penetration or Expansion?

arctic moth
#

I dont use it but I'd probably say penetration

#

Penetration is the better option for everything

compact frost
#

I mainly ask because I just shot something with it for hte first time and it didnt seem to have much penetration, so im wonder if expansion would be better since I'm only gunna get a single lung shot either way

Well, IMO, the .300 magnum is hands down the most versatile gun for level 9. I believe that's a part of the Yukon DLC which is an excellent reserve. I used the .45-70 a lot until the M1 came out a while back, and I don't have much use for it anymore.

#

It all depends on what map you're on.

Not sure if this should be here, but on xbox and offline and it keeps trying to log me in online (don't have internet access for the xbox) any way to stop this?

melanistic for all rabbits and hares should be a rare type. so great luck i guess

#

Yo, if you die, do your downed animals stay put?

warped glen
#

somebody correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure every animal you shoot that dies, will stay there until you claim it

split knoll
#

Even if you close the game?

warped glen
#

i think? maybe. i dont know

#

but i know if you die and respawn the animal stays there

#

so youre good on that front

shrewd hare
#

If my memory serves me right, downed but not claimed animals will come back to life.

#

If you close the game.

split knoll
#

Lol, good too know

shrewd hare
#

At least hurt animals will heal back to full when you close the game

split knoll
#

I’ve heard that dead, not claimed, will despawn if the game is closed but I’m not sure

#

Do you guys have any favorite turkey spots in SRP?

warped glen
#

gotchu hold on

split knoll
#

Thanks fam

warped glen
#

that bottom circle to the right is great for bison, mule, turkey, elk, and prong

#

far left is good for bears, mule, bighorn, elk, and turkey (my frames turn to garbage sometimes over here, i think thats a good thing)

#

top right is where i got my first diamond, it being a turkey

#

and the center circle is good for goat, bighorn, lion, and turkey

I got an albino elk at that outpost in dinosaur hill this week

#

more people in lobby mean more animal spawn . is this real ?

silent hatch
#

That would be cool kind of tho just make ur map multiplayer have tons more animals pic up all them need zones and then go to single player lol but nah doesnt work like that would be a shame to spawn in a bunch of rares and diamonds just for them to delete bc to many players were in the lobby at the time

rustic halo
#

🙂 ty so much

silent hatch
#

No problem man i suppose it could seem like that with more people more area is being scanned with more eyes easier to see them animals hiding in brush and moving around and such

#

good evening little question because I heard that to obtain diamons or rare I could make animals grow it's possible?

brazen citrus
#

No, you can't grow animals

#

Unless there's a DLC for it

split knoll
#

@last hemlock getting diamonds and rares are random, but you can hunt higher difficulty animals and hope that a trophy replaces them

Or so I’ve heard

# lost valley if anyone has a 32:9 monitor maybe?

i sent a bug report about this a couple of weeks ago. im running at 21:9 though and while I can move the map horizontally it does have a "dead zone" on the right hand side and scales incorrectly for zooming etc. also affects waypoint placement and range finding w.r.t cursor. response was this is a known bug and to play at a lower res. try "grabbing" the map with the mouse as far to the left as possible, you may be able to get it to move, but at that ratio my guess is your "dead zone" is gonna be pretty huge

One of the EW people said they tried to make them more realistic as in real life males travel with males and females travel with females , so u perhaps just found a male herd

Multiplayer when their is bad connection yes singleplayer have never had it happen for me

#

Oh i dont watch their streams man one of them said it here or the bug channel a couple days or week ago but i think ur right still it might have been sika deer but idk im still waking up

#

Idk i tried scrolling up a bit and didnt see it but ive seen tons of animals be in male only herds or female only its not a bug or glitch just the roll of the dice

loud crater
#

are there any advantages to joining people in multiplayer (assuming you already have the map for it)?

shrewd hare
#

Fresh spawn basically

#

You'll find different animals from other peoples maps for sure

loud crater
#

how about hosting my own? is there any benefit to that outside of playing with friends? will the zones they find affect my non-multiplayer map (and in effect, will the hunting pressure they generate affect it too)?

shrewd hare
#

All zones other players find (or destroy) will remain in your SP map too. So benefit for hosting is to get more zones and respawns since players will mow down your current animals.

ohhh i see. thank you very much!

I’m really just trying to find any animal rn but I have a lot of the map uncovered in the lake reserve

Roam around find need zones. When looking at your map you can scroll over the need zone icon and it will give u approx time the animal species is active in the zone. Hunt it during that period of time and you will have some success

how to zoom scoop ?
or binocular ?

Mouse scroll wheel.

Why's that? Mouse wheel doesn't function? Or that's what you're doing but it's just not working?

the next and previous key bindings are the default settings for mouse scrolling but when I changed and tested it nothing had changed

#

and i keep cant zoom

#

i new player btw

I just changed my Next and previous keybindings to Arrow up and arrow down and it seems to be functioning ok. Have you tried to verifying your game files on Steam?

#

ok i test

hot rock

i done it but still cant

#

i check the key bindings next and previous turn into up and down but when i tested nothing happen

#

When I try to scroll the mouse, it changes the item I'm holding

now what i must to do fix that ?

#

check all the bindings, it is possible to set the same key to perform multiple actions (which is usually not wanted)

real crypt
#

sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you able to "activate" the scope or binoculars (usually right-click is default for this)?

hot rock
#

yes i can but i cant zoom with scope or binoculars

real crypt
#

and you mapped 'next' to up arrow and 'previous' to down arrow? i just tried and it works for me

i do that but when i tested nothing happen

#

not work

hmm im not sure what else to try, sorry. you might need to contact the game support

If I'm level 8 and have $7600 should I get a bow or a rifle or save up for something else, currently I have the Ranger .243, the Focoso 357, the Caversham Steward 126, and the .270 Stradivarius.

unless you already got one

#

in which case i'd get a bow, they're not too useful but they're super fun

from my testing bows seem to spook up to 60m, unsure about the crossbow though

arctic moth
#

Bow aint that good in my opinion, you gotta get really close which is hard enough, and you gotta have decent wind aswell.

silent hatch

Its just preference really if u always get close to the animal i like to normally get 75 to 100m max 150 so i love the bows

Not hard to get in about 25m or less if ur used to it
