Patch - 11th May 2011

[Stefan Pettersson]

We just released a small patch (1.7 MB) fixing a couple of issues. It will automatically be applied next time you start the game.

• Animals will no longer flee into deep water (may still occur but should be rare)
• Animals will no not eat in water
• Fix for animals temporarily "freezing" when shot or spooked
• Animals are now smarter when reacting to calls, the may now navigate through more complex terrain and water
• Fix for some rare occurrences of photos taken in game not being uploaded
• In some rare circumstances animals could spawn at "less than optimal" locations, like in deep water or slopes, where they had a hard time finding a way out. This is now fixed.
• Bear & pheasant scores do now smoothly follow normal distribution, previously some score intervals did not appear. This will result in a wider range of scores (max/min limits are still same)
• Crashes occurred when quickly switching to inventory before all data and asset was loaded when retiring to a lodge or campsite. There is now a brief loading screen to ensure everything is really loaded.

That looks like the whole game data to me.. Sure it's not the patching stage where it writes all the data or watever?

You are not downloading 1744.74 MB. The patch only contains the difference between files so it needs to be applied to the complete installation to produce the new files. 1744.74 MB is the size of your local installation.

Great changes, nice job! (Although leaving HM map seems to take a little more time)
