Dog Staying In Place Bug?

[normal bone]

Hello! So the past couple days I've noticed that my bloodhound Floyd has been staying in place. He wags his tail and does the normal idle animations, he just doesn't walk or move from a single spot. He only moves when he teleports to me if I've gone far. This has also prevented him from being able to track. Any feedback is appreciated! Thx 🍄

I can't edit my post, but I am a PC player if that's important info

I got an email on how to fix it, but my bloodhound seemed to have fixed itself on its own thankfully!

Here's screenshots from the email for anyone else who is still having a bloodhound issue on PC/Steam.

If any of yall need to provide files, just send Avalanche a ticket with the link so they can email you https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Anyone else having new issues with your Dog not following you? Just stopping and no commands work to make him move or track. We leave a tent while he's in Idle mode, he woofs and goes into Heel mode, and just stops. Fast Travel and he follows and begins OK, then locks up again. This began after the July 2024 update - SRP is worst. Single Player on Xbox.

His behavior seems similar to a bug that was fixed on New England Mountains, where the Dog would not be able to follow you away from one of the Outposts.

Oooh, well there's your problem!

You know the dog mechanic where, if you're running down a steep hill, the dog goes into Heel mode, and teleports to your side once you're beyond the difficult terrain? Well, on SRP, the dog keeps doing this when walking through certain simple grassy and brushy areas.

However, it doesn't come out of the stopped position once it teleports. It stands there and won't follow you, no matter what commands or attention you give it. Also, once the dog has had this problem, it continues throughout the session, even after Fast Traveling, until you exit to Main Menu and go back in.

The grassy and brushy areas are repeatable, it doesn't happen everywhere, but always happens in some places. For me, this is new since the July 2024 update, on Xbox single player. Sounds like a fixable bug.

Happens to me a lot. I just swap to the other dog then back and its fixed

[wet zinc]

Thanks, will give that a try!

I tried swapping to the other dog and back, and that worked - so thanks. Unfortunately, as soon as I walk the dog across the same areas, it freezes right up again. Probably needs a bug fix.
