  • Dialogue lines can overlap. This can happen if you quickly complete missions that have unusually long voice dialogues;
  • The tire swing in MAPR is haunted…
  • XBOX - Some players’ games do not play the audio cue for when the CCR warden offers hunting opportunities (tracks). Subtitles are still present;
  • Cacciatore 12g shotgun does not trigger echo when fired from aim but does when fired from the hip.

  • Some animals (lions, gemsbok, wildebeest) manes & tails look glossy/transparent in Trophy lodges;
  • Players who have trophies with legacy scoring in their saved harvests but not yet taxidermied still have those trophies using the legacy scoring system. When these animals get taxed, they will continue to show the legacy score;

  • [N] Players can crash while hunting Mountain Goats on SRP;
  • The Crash Reporter tool sometimes fails to send crash reports;

    • [?] "Scarecrow"

GRAPHICS & UI/UX

  • Some lakes have dried up here and there, but the water can still be heard;
  • Codex entries for Vuxa and Dzonga on Vurhonga regarding their sub-regions are reversed;
  • The main outpost of Parque Fernando has a leaky roof. We're working on patching that up;

  • The grass on Hirschfelden can sometimes get groovy and start dancing and flickering;
  • The tutorial pop-ups can get “stuck” on the screen for a while;
  • Some windows in MAPR appear black with a VERY bright glow around them;
  • The ground lookouts in Hirschfelden are using the Yukon map as their reserve map.
  • The M1 IWANIEC weapon with the GENZERO 1-4X20 night vision scope causes the scope's reticle to overlap the end (clips through);
  • [?] In certain areas of reserves it’s possible to “loop” crossing a reserve boundary. This includes having the region prompt pop up and the region crossing music play;

Additional note: Despite some assumptions, the Couso 16GA Shotgun is working as intended. The confusion about its mechanics lies behind whether or not you have Manual Chambering enabled. With this feature enabled you will need to press the platform-appropriate mapping to reload, then press again to "Rechamber" a round.

 

MULTIPLAYER

Please see this article for potential fixes to multiplayer issues.

  • Players are unable to reliably switch ammunition on the Grelck Drilling Rifle in Multiplayer if they are within 1.5km of another player and if that player is not also holding the Grelck Drilling Rifle.
