Bug Finding!

[charred sky]

Hey all!

I wanted to make a post given some of the feedback that we've been seeing recently.

In the Showcase Update we've addressed many bugs - some large and some small ones. And we are aware that there are still many issues our Community would like to see resolved that we have not been able to tackle yet. We would love to know more about these.

Many of them most likely have already been reported to us, but we're giving it another push and would really appreciate if you could post them (again or for the first time) in this thread.

Please try give us as much information as possible when replying.
While informing us about bugs is important, we will likely need to be able to reproduce it internally to get it fixed properly.

PSA: We know that unfortunately, the Showcase Update also introduced a few new bugs and our Dev Team is looking into them right now. You can expect a hotfix coming sometime next week (timing might change) that will address a variety of game crashes on all platforms.

From what I have already read, I encountered only one. Inventory and loadout. Loadouts are forced, which I do not know if is intended or not, but it is a "no-no" for me. Hand in hand goes the other problem. Happens when you have saved loadout, use it and add new item in it, do not save it and equip the item to your item wheel. After the restart of the game the last used loadout is force-equipped. However the item you put into the item wheel is still there.

So what I have tested (hope it helps a little):

1. It only happens after the game restart, reserve change or main menu + continue does not have any effect on it.

2. All items that did not have been saved to the loadout disappear from the backpack and from the backpack's item wheel. However if you pop-up the item wheel it is still there and USABLE.

3. If it is a weapon, ammo that belonged to the loadout is in it, but ammo that was not part of the loadout, disappears. Same goes for scopes.

4. Additionally, I think that ammo and scope that belongs to the loadout and are usable with the weapon (that does not belong to the loadout) are forced to be equipped on that weapon. Tested with 22LR and Argus scope (equipped, is not part), after the restart it forced Hyperion scope to be equipped (is part of the loadout).

5. Stash -> Inventory does not solve the problem. Equipping the same loadout it was tested on does not solve the problem. However equipping another loadout solves it partly. Partly because if you equip the testing loadout back, the item is still in the item wheel. Equipping something else on the position of the item in the item wheel solves the problem entirely (as expected).

This is the biggest thing I found. I would like to also mention that some forced keybinds are also a "no-no" for me. I would really appreciate some of the keybinds to be unbindable entirely.

• Should add that I play on PC.

Zero bug pandemic spreading to countless guns and bows.
Key mapping on the info screens are broken and do not reflect settings.
Floating text in the new trophy cabin does not display properly in a 2-byte character environment.
Muscle memory is disabled while using Solokhin and maybe some other guns.
The .45 caliber flat nose hard cast's spec is clearly SP or JHP and it has wrong name and image.
Placing a diamond puma in Parque Fernando cabin shows only rocks.
I can always hear roar of pumas from inside my head so I can't tell which direction it's coming from. Everything is buggy with the pumas.
When I use the Boom Stick on my SXS shotguns, bullets are fired in vertical lines.
The bullets and arrows I fire sometimes disappear. Animals that were supposed to fall on the spot escape unharmed.
Animals get stuck by a slope or an obstacle.
When I shoot a pig drinking water, the pig freezes and stays stuck forever.
Bugs in this game are too numerous to mention.

• Occasionally you will lose the ability to interact with things like beds and tripods. The issue is usually solved by restarting the game though.
• The game will crash very often while playing multiplayer (on Xbox, not sure about other platforms). These crashes are almost guaranteed within 5 minutes after the original host of a map leaves the session.

Bug in the loadout dropdown control box. On certain resolutions you cannot click on the loadout dropdown box .... It becomes very unresponsive ...
to recreate set your resolution to 1680 x 1050 and try using the loadout dropdown box.

For some resolutions it works fine others not .... I'm on PC

[calm nebula]

Waterfowl are constantly in a nervous or alert state in multiplayer. When beginning to circle decoys, they will spook before even landing despite wind direction being pointed away and the hunter being completely hidden

When switching loadouts quickly, weapons from a previous loadout will appear in your current loadout even if they aren’t slotted into your current loadouts. Opening up the inventory will show it’s not there, using the weapon wheel will show the slot its in is hidden and using the arrow keys/hot keys will equip that weapon

[tired hearth]

So throw all bug posts in here got it

[tired hearth]

I did a little a while back I haven't really paid attention enough to notice nowadays

[tired hearth]

In reply to this

[tired hearth]

Post made by @lilac schooner so hopefully this gets seen more

Also to add any PC players that are experiencing missing track glow and spotting out lines after the latest update the C-key is a toggle to disable and enable this I greatly recommend testing and checking this before making a report or post if having similar problems

[lilac schooner]

Thank you!

Rio grande and merriam turkey in the lodge cause great deals of lag, especially when in the Two Turkey Types multimount

[calm nebula]

In trophy lodges, putting a female mouflon on a wall plaque and selecting the last pose will completely hide the mouflon inside of the wall

[severe umbra]

Hudzik .50 Caplock's scope seems to be off-center (horizontally moved to the left). Hitting bullseye on the left tip of the right horizontal line.

[tired hearth]

To add to this the mosin (MN1890) is also shooting to the right around ¼ of the right horizontal like is bullseye
.
The 30-06 round seems to not register a hit around 30% of the time more so seems to shoot though animals and hit the dirt behind animals

[severe umbra]

I do not know if it is intended or not, the wind changes/shifts instantly in 1 second (from one way to another random one). I thought that it should slowly and continuously move around. Seems random overall, I do not think it has some sort of trigger action, I was just walking around when it happened.

[jagged fern]

I think this post shoud be tagged as official post and pinned.

[tired hearth]

Sadly we can only pin 1 post

But I can add official

Well I thought so nvm

[royal dune]

Collard Peccary Fur color does not render in unless your in point blank range of them, The Horizon on Silver Ridge peaks Turns Neon Green if looked at from a certain camera angle.

[calm nebula]

Don’t know if intentional but rock ptarmigan and willow ptarmigan don’t leave behind tracks when flying, whereas all the other upland birds do

[calm bloom]

I want to share this clip of a funny glitch/bug in the new loadout system.
I am holding the ornamental .454 revolver but then I show the inventory and as you can see, that weapon is not actually in there.

Here is a video of what is assumed to be poor hit registration

Here is a clip of what I assume is bullets hitting the rocks instead of hitting the targeted animal. Two bullets are absorbed by the ground layer, then the next two manage to kill the animal.
Also please note that the aim sensitivity is super slow in low zoom (I have a thread about this too) so I was only barely able to hit the moving target as shown.

Please note there are plenty of other bugs reported in #1062059141436297246 and sometimes#1067511606373785730 .

The Scientific Name of the Raccoon Dog in the Codex is Incorrect, it’s Correct Scientific Name Is (Nyctereutes procyonoides) not Nyctereutes Grypus.

[daring geyser]

The final Baden mission on Cuatro Colinas has a double speak bug

[charred sky]

Oh yeah! We see them too.

I just wanted to make this post in the hopes of specifically targeting bugs that may be in the game a long time that the community feel we've missed.

Thank you to everyone who has posted something so far!

While I can't comment on what will happen with all of these posts, I am replying with react on each one to let you know that it's been seen!

But as always keep them coming! Tell your friends to post here too if they know of any too!

[calm nebula]

All upland birds that have the grounded mechanic have a strange quirk where the game registers them as grounded the millisecond they begin the landing animation instead of when they’re actually on the ground. This can result in a grounded medal even when they are a dozen feet in the air

Also there are several bow/archery related bugs that often get forgotten. For example the pumping iron perk is not affecting the traditional bows/arrows correctly, and also here is an example of a bow bug caught on video:
#1084520344070672394 message

Possibly tied to manual rechambering being bugged (not confirmed).

[severe umbra]

I can confirm that bows are bugging out when manual chambering is turned on. If you keep aiming down sights after a shot, it will reload automatically. If you don't, you have to manually reload.

My Layton lake map was merging with the hirschfelden map. It finally fixed itself when I fast traveled.

The other video is the New Layton lakes lodge. There is some kinda rendering issue maybe. It looks like my fire pit is floating and parts of the building isn't there. I also got stuck and had to fast travel to get out when I touched the part of the building that wasn't showing correctly.

[calm nebula]

Picking up decoys when your weapon wheel is completely filled pulls out the camera each time you dismantle a decoy

[storm belfry]

This was xbox series x. I forgot to state that.

[subtle cipher]

The crashing is at an insane amount

[timber beacon]

that always has been like that in my experience

(sorry for the slight necro)

[carmine radish]

Wrong animal logo for the animal. Bobcat instead of teal. This is the only one I've noticed so far, I just put it up this morning

[jagged fern]

Lions freeze (like boars/hogs).

[grand ledge]

The "running through trees" sound continues after exiting the trees.
Playing on Steam, most (all?) maps. Definitely happens on Hirsch, Layton, and Medved. After exiting the trees or shrubs that trigger the "branches on nylon" sound and running in the open across a road or short grass field, it still sounds like you're crashing through trees and the noise indicator shows the same. The sound will continue until you take one of the following actions: stop and wait a few seconds, then start moving again; crouch or crawl for a ways; fast travel to another location; or find more trees and hope that running out the other side of them makes the sound stop.

[calm nebula]

Feral goats will continuously and endlessly walk whilst drinking

[calm nebula]

The longer you stay on a multiplayer session on PS, the more laggy it gets. I’ve noticed it becomes more severe as you pick up more tracks

[calm nebula]

Vital organ hits have a small no organs hit blood splatter instead of the correct large blood splatter, despite showing they are vital organ hits

[glacial mountain]

This is the most annoying for me, but not only for the audio: It happens the same with the orange bars at the noise meter that appear when you go through brushes 😫

[edgy trench]

There's no outpost music on Medved
edit: Crossing a subregion border and finding a shed also didn't play music. And yes, my music volume is on.

[tired rose]

Bloodhound DLC:
My dog texture disappears every time I enter any animated interaction with him; petting, playing and treating. This bug is constant since i bought the dlc :( Thankfully I still can see the animation done by friend with his doggo on multiplayer.

[edgy trench]

Animals in the Nervous state don't give you the need zone when spotted despite performing the action for that need zone and being described as doing it by the infobox.

[calm nebula]

Exiting a hunting structure, tripod, treestand, etc. always places you facing North instead of the direction you were looking in when exiting

[glacial mountain]

Wolf AI is really bugged: https://youtu.be/eEuQQDuDK4c and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WVAGQnJm30

[carmine radish]

Frozen turkeys. The ones I did manage to kill I couldn't pick up, and the ones that I couldn't, either wouldn't move or were spinning in circles

[meager isle]

on ps4 the continue option is grayed out on main screen

[hexed wigeon]

Hudzik Cap lock scope is highly off center

[glacial mountain]

the devs know about this issue iirc. If you aim with the right line of the scope it should be fine

[polar birch]

when animals are nervous it doesn't mark their need zone on the map when you spot them

[amber forum]

I have a lot freezed animals in cuatro colinas ......they are fleeing but doesnt move's

[meager isle]

when using binos, the weapon wheel pops up and changes item. duplicate items in wheel too

[tired hearth]

For me this is a gigantic problem on the river only I have next to no problems anywhere else

[lilac schooner]

I no longer have to deal with lodge lag because I got a new gen but for my old gen people I’m still concerned and also fur in the lodge on old gen is very odd look as it’s missing clumps like on turkeys or a lions mane. Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense

[tired hearth]

I was so confused lol

That's good to hear tho

[lilac schooner]

Sorry im so bad at wording stuff lol

Also eventually when you put so many animals in your lodge on old gen it lags

So lodge lag needs to be solved I guess 🤷‍♂️

[calm nebula]

Eurasian wigeon use mallard sfx when circling above you

[left estuary]

mosin shoots to the right while using hyperion scope (happens with a couple other weapons too i think)

[jagged fern]

This is why your bullets won't hit center. What a childish mistake, EW?

[oak dagger]

is a Widescreen problem, the center of the crosshair is displaced to the left with respect to the exact center of the screen, it happens with the 30-30, the 45-70 and the Solokhin too

is an old old problem

[pearl spindle]

On ps5 all mission items sections in the codex freeze up and your unable to check them, happens during missions when it goes to that too. The hunt history in the codex is unable to scroll also

[jagged fern]

Scopes are displaced, but reflex sights are almost fine. Interesting.*PC EpicGames 16:9 1920x1080 60fps
This is widescreen problem???

[oak dagger]

Previously it only happens with widescreens, if you are using x1080 I see that now it happens with all.
i have 1366x768 screen and I've always had that problem, when I changed the monitor it didn't happen, I have reported this problem since 2020 and they fix it briefly, but after each update it appears again

[jagged fern]

and it doesn't happen with reflex sights, only with scopes?

I think this bug is the same as the binocular bug.
They just misplaced the rifle scope reticle image, so simple.

[mighty garnet]

For over 2 days now, my game simply won't start ... it crashes during the loading screen on PS4, I tried rebooting system, updating software, even initialized PS4, deleted everything and reinstalled. The game simply won't start ...

[oak dagger]

Right now it happens with all sights, even iron ones

[jagged fern]

Even iron sights? okay it is not simple image displacement problem maybe?
Bullets fly to the center of the screen, so why cannot they just center the sight on the SAME point? This problem is so puzzling.

[oak dagger]

Yes, the bullet always hits in the center of the screen, at least in my video setup, the adjustable point of the center of the screen game is centered, but when aiming the whole image moves to the left 😵‍💫

[storm belfry]

@mighty garnet This happened to me last year and support told me it was a corrupt save file. I had to delete my save file and it worked after that. I did lose my entire lodge and progress though. I created a new profile and the game worked just fine. But if I loaded the other profile it wouldn't load at all. Not saying this is what your problem is but it sounds like what I had going on.

[serene pollen]

I've been having trouble joining or creating multi-player games and my friend I play with has been having the same issue. It'll kick me or him from a match and then say we aren't connected to the internet while we are in a voice chat. We play on ps4

[mighty garnet]

Unfortunately, it's looking like that's exactly what's my problem 😭 I'm currently playing the game as a new player on a 2nd account on Playstation just for Australia, hoping the next update in game might fix my main account ... if not, I'm quitting the game, it was fun, but the hours lost that I put into the GO grinds, doesn't motivate me to play the game anymore.

[storm belfry]

@mighty garnet That sucks. I definitely know your pain. I almost quit also. I lost like 8 GOs and A bunch of rares. I hope the next update fixes it. Support told me it wouldn't but I didn't wait and find out. I started over. Xbox doesn't have the ability to backup saves. I suggested additional Save slots before but it didn't really catch on. Having a additional Save slot could solve this issue. Sorry this happened.

[raven pollen]

My story missions are not working. Nobody is telling me what to do and there is no waypoint or symbol that tells me where to go. I look for my missions on the hunter mate and in the pause menu but nothing is popping up. Please help. I want the 22-250 without having to pay!!

[oak dagger]

Battered Peak and Matron Mount POIs have images swapped

[raven pollen]

I've seen this as well

[oak dagger]

Missing fur fragment on taxidermied sambar mandible

[serene pollen]

The magpie geese rest zones aren't popping up for me. I've spotted them and it says resting and I won't get a rest zone and it's not just popping up on the gator zone like usual when they are overlapping

[timber beacon]

our new TruTax engine simulates common flaws in spotty taxidermy jobs

[BUG] SES Ibex are class 6 now.

[tired hearth]

Wait do what? Do you have a screenshot?

[jagged fern]

Just go south east of quatro colinas and check it out. I killed em with .223(2-4) and they gave me ammo class penalty. They are actually 6 now.

[uncut ingot]

Having a problem while hunting geese. The geese leave no blood spots, tracks, or traces of any kind that they were there. If you don’t kill one immediately, there is no way to track it at all. I first noticed it on Hirsh, but now have the same problem on EC. It seems to only affect the goose species that I can tell. I can’t reliably hunt geese at all on any map due to this.

[glad shale]

Interacting with tracks (including scat, and disturbed vegitation) sometimes makes the frames lock to a lower framrate until I interact with a different track, interacting with the same track twice does not fix the issue, I've noticed this happen for a while now on PS4
