#Animals not reacting to me when in multiplayer

Hey, so im having an issue specifically in multiplayer games when im close to another player, when im with somebody else and do anything to an animal that would have it otherwise react it just doesnt.

Example being if i shoot a lion, The lion will start sprinting in place on my screen, but not actually running, its stationary but it has the sprinting animation playing on repeat, while on my friends' screen the animal didnt react at all, but he can see clearly that its been hit and is going down, but the animal refuses to react, neither does any other animal in the verticity.

ive been able to kill entire herds while they havent cared at all about me, moose have gotten close enough to give me smooches while im running around like a monkey trying to get their attention but they just simply dont seem to care.

when im in a multiplayer game but far away from people the issue goes away, which is weird aswell, it tells me its something going wrong when im rendering in on other peoples games.

at first i thought it was a ping issue since im European and was playing with some American friends, but now today ive realized it also happens when im the one hosting the server and the people connected to it are in the same country as me, so im honestly unsure what causes it or how to fix it.

when i google the issue i dont find anything thats similar enough to my issue or if i find something thats close enough i find no fix, just someone wondering for help like i am right now without anyone responding with a potential fix.

The bug seems to be entirerly specific to me and but im unaware why that should be, Im running of an ethernet connection where i pay for 250mb/s up and download speeds, im gaming on a 3080ti, Ryzen 9 5900x with 32gb of DDR4 3200mhz RAM.

thanks in advance if anyone is willing to help me with

It's not specific to you. We have the exact same issue in mulitplayer. A few others have listed it on the Steam forums

#

When playing in multiplayer, animals don't react at all when shot. We can fire multiple shots into any animals and they simply don't react for upto 10-15s.

One person (generally the host) will fire a shot then they suddenly scatter. But we have found that the original shots register as hits, but the animals don't die or react in any way.

It is possible that someone in the MP is using hack, there is one that turns off the animals' AI, another that sticks them to the ground so they don't flee, and many more...
Nowadays on PC 60% of mp random are mods, there is no control and the studio doesn't care so you just have to avoid them.

No one is using hacks ... we only play private MP with friends

I can add that we have the same issue.

same here. I can kill entire packs of wolves because they just cower on the spot. I play privately with another person. we've since learned if an animal reacts in a really odd way, don't bother shooting again because it'll be harvestable when we get there.

Same issue here. Currently hosting private MP for one friend and when she shoots the animals don't react but the shot registers. If I shoot, the animals act like they should. We're also having some trouble with disappearing blood trails.

Is this still happening after the latest patch? I haven't played the game in a while, mostly due to this bug ruining MP.
