Patch Notes | Patch 9.0

New Mule Deer Furs

Three new, very rare fur variations have been added to all Mule Deer populations: Erythristic Red, Erythristic Isabelline, and Mosaic.

Improvements

Trophy Lodge UI

• Improved the visualization of trophies in the Trophy Lodge customization screen.

• It should be clearer which trophy you’re selecting when browsing through trophies in the Trophy Manager.

Game Feeder UI

• Added a new panel to the Game Feeder menu which shows which animals they attract.

• Replaced the icon displayed when spotting an animal at a Game Feeder to be clear that it's not actually a Need Zone.

• The "Feeder was destroyed" notification now uses a pop-up that doesn't require you to dismiss it manually.

Animal Populations

• Populations for Stubble Quail and Magpie Goose on Emerald Coast have been reset. This should fix any lingering issues with animals being scored too high and even bring a little bit of peace to the fan subreddit.

Bug Fixes

Animals

• Several visual issues with animal skeletons on the Harvest Screen have been fixed:

  • The Woodcock’s feet and wing bones should now match up with its model.

  • The Black Grouse’s wings should now match up with its model.

  • The Beceite Ibex’s spine no longer appears severed.

• Fixed an issue where the Woodcock’s beak appeared stretched in certain trophy lodge poses.

• We did surgery on Badger eyeballs and now they are round (as intended).

• Capercaillies should react with faster when threatened.

Audio

• Fixed an issue where repair sounds didn't play when fixing a Game Feeder.

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue where items could sometimes not be equipped correctly if you had the Aim Toggle option on.

• It should now be easier to Spot the American Mink and Eurasian Pine Marten at long ranges.

• Animals will no longer gather on ground above a Game Feeder placed in a cave.

• Game Feeders disabled by Hunting Pressure should now re-enable after Hunter Pressure is removed without needing to reload the map.

• Fixed an issue where animals could occasionally appear out of thin air when exiting a Treestand.

• Bears should now be less enthusiastic about destroying Box Feeders when you’re resting.

Graphics

• Fixed an issue that had caused trees to not render properly at very long range.

Missions

• Resolved an issue on Scotland where you could get stuck on the Haggis Hunt mission if you spotted the "haggis" too quickly.

• Fixed an issue on Scotland where the name of the "haggis" wasn’t displaying correctly in the HUD after spotting it during the Haggis Hunt mission.

• Removed a test mission on Sundarpatan that had mysteriously appeared.

• Fixed a crash on Scotland that could happen if you approached Piper’s Pit while on the Pipe Down mission and either playing in a language that had a long text strings in the subtitles or had the subtitle display size significantly increased.

Multiplayer
