Hi hunters! Before update 1.31 arrives on Wednesday, we wanted to share a quick heads-up, especially for players who were affected by the issues in Update 1.29.1.
For everyone:
All players will receive compensation for the inconvenience caused by recent update. Since some players lost a rare-fur trophy, we’re adding a guaranteed high-fitness rare-fur animal to every reserve. We'll share more info on the day of the release.
For players affected by Update 1.29.1:
If your save file was impacted and you loaded the game before the hotfix was available, the update will apply a herd-management recovery boost. The game will identify weaker animals in affected habitats and increase their fitness by 50% toward the habitat’s gene-pool maximum, which means a small boost to those who have lost their herd management progress. As part of this process, the game will automatically trigger a new in-game year the first time you load in after the update, but only for those affected saves. We’re sharing this early so you can plan ahead if you’re currently tracking a rare or mature animal.
Additional improvements:
Some HM stats that previously failed to load correctly will self-correct over the next two in-game years.
More info and patch notes will be available on the day of the release - Wednesday, December 17.
Stay tuned!
