Multiplayer:
Client may experience some of the following issues:
Difficulty successfully and consistently hitting animals when they are in motion
Temporary instances of desync in certain situations, resolved by closing the distance to the Host, or by waiting briefly
Rare instances of being unable to interact with doors and parking signs, resolved by reconnecting to the session
Animal sounds may not be audible
It is possible to join a session via an invite without having completed the Tutorial first, leading to a locked state. This is resolved by deleting the save files manually, and prevented by completing the Tutorial before trying to participate in Multiplayer.
(Xbox) Inventory may clear after fast-travel
Crash caused by the Host using Buffden Apex Predator
Performance:
(PC) Antialiasing > FSR option may not take effect, resolved by setting to TSR first, then FSR
FPS drops in certain locations during sunset
(Xbox Series S) Game may crash in memory-intensive situations, such as near a lodge with heavily populated dioramas
Environment:
Leaves shaking on vegetation
Visible switching of ground texture around the player
Snow:
Visual issues may appear while using antialiasing options TSR or TAAU during snowy weather
Fallen snow disappears in a small circle under the player's feet
Animal droppings and footprints are not visible in fallen snow
Other:
The animation of petting the dog may break if performed while you or the dog are in the middle of certain other actions
(Controller) Rotating camera in Photo mode does not work
Damage caused to animals by the vehicle is not fully consistent
Missing Accuracy stat in the Shop and Storage for slugs, bolts and arrows
