Tracks disappearing and hare/rabbit spooking
Since after Halloween ending update there are two problems in WRR:
1. After 40min -1 hour of hunting ,tracks disappear and its not the ''overpopulation'' reason. When you reach 20m away from the tracks (for example whole bison herd) they all disappear. You may have 30 tracks in front of you and they just vanish.
2. Hares and rabbits keep spooking all the way and dont stop , i saw cottontails running for more than 500m (while it never happened before) same with snowshoe hares spooking from 200m and never stop , sometimes they are always fleeing.
Does anybody knows if a bug has been reported about that problem at least 1st one?

Re: Tracks disappearing and hare/rabbit spooking
1. As far as I'm aware, 1h (real time) old tracks are supposed to disappear. But if you are refering to fresh tracks with vanish just like that after you've spend an hour in the game, than it is a problem I suppose. However I was playing on WRR map recently and do not experienced anything like that. Maybe I'll check again today.
Can't say anything about second issue, sorry.

Disappearing (recent) tracks has always been a problem on WRR.

Re: Tracks disappearing and hare/rabbit spooking
Didn't know that, but then again I don't like that map and seldom visit it. Last time I did a moose and bison competition on WRR and checked literally hundreds of tracks and I can't remember ever seeing a track older than about 37-40min. Have you noticed something similar on Hemmeldal?Ravenousfox wrote:Hemmeldal too.

Yup, for example most of the time I'm tracking something in Hemmeldal the tracks disappear right in front of me.

Not to mention the invisible Reindeer that pop into render after you shoot. That bug has been in game since Reindeer were released and it's still not fixed. (even did a bug report on it ages ago)

Re: Tracks disappearing and hare/rabbit spooking
You have to distinguish two things: One is that once a certain number of tracks has been created on the map, the oldest ones will be deleted. That's working as designed (to save resources) though it can be an issue if you're stand hunting and want to track multiple wounded animals after sitting for a while - the tracks might have been gone! Seems to be more annoying on the larger maps, since they probably have a higher population and tracks seem to vanish earlier - at least that's what people are speculating, I don't know if there ever was an official response to that.
The other issue is fresh tracks vanishing before your eyes - something that has been reported by a number of players and seems to be a bug. I've had it once or twice, but not very often. I don't know whether the QA team is on it at the moment though. Probably an issue that's hard to retrace for them...

Re: Tracks disappearing and hare/rabbit spooking
Actually my question was related to the age of tracks. If tracks don't appear, do you get the impression that none of them is very old? Thanks.Ravenousfox wrote:Yup, for example most of the time I'm tracking something in Hemmeldal the tracks disappear right in front of me.

Odd, because I have seen it literally hundreds of times on WRR, mind you, I killed a lot animals on that map.Tanngnjostr wrote:I've had it once or twice, but not very often.
I think it has a lot to do with specific areas, because in this area (that I have visited a lot) it seems to be rather common problem when it has many animals roaming around:

Re: Tracks disappearing and hare/rabbit spooking
Honestly, I'm not sure what you mean now - but this is probably due to my bad English. But again, tracks older than one (real time) hour should vanish and this can happen right before your eyes. And I saw that on other maps too. But this tracks (with enough skill of course) shows always over 60 minutes of in-game time naturaly. I guess that on large maps, where animals might be more spread, finding only tracks that are younger than 60 in-game minutes is not that alarming. But if you go by tracks, let's say, 10 minutes old (of in-game time) and they suddenly vanish, then I see the problem, and judging from what others wrote, it is not new issue.
