The game froze while I was trying to take the trophy shot. Alt-tab didn't help so I hit ctrl-alt-delete and then cancel. I was able to get into the game but the photo uploading notice never went away. I waited a few minutes the hit alt-f4.
I got a letter from Doc and the animal he claims I didn't harvest has a photo in my gallery of a buck that reads "no score".
**edit*** and there isn't anything in the hunt history either.
It looks like we had some server issues at the end of the last week and over the weekend, and what you describe sounds related to that. How often and when have you been experiencing this issue?
I have not been hunting (ingame) as much as I would like (getting in some actual real life hunting) so I only had it happen a few times. Thank you for the follow up.

Since it was part of a saved inventory, it loaded a new one for the next start. Cool! 8-)
I 100% agree. Another example is ammunition if you shoot more than 10 shots in the next hunt a package will be missing. With the loadouts you will always be able to start with full 30 shots.
I only have used the free one so far, and it works well after some issues getting it to save (possibly user error). It does seem quite handy and I will probably end up with more, but have some questions.

While I like the idea of it giving me all the ammo again, I wonder what would happen if you have no replacement scent eliminator, or any other consumable when selecting that pack. Will it crash the game since it can't do what is requested ?

Also since there are 2 options from the launcher, "saved loadouts", and "last used equipment", does the "last used equipment" get overwritten by a saved pack if you use one of them from the launcher, or is it the last used that was not one of the saved packs?
If it gets overwritten by a saved pack via the launcher from the previous hunt, and a missing consumable causes an issue, the only user fix would be to buy more of that consumable before attempting to load again if you only have the free pack.
The above statements are strictly my opinion, and should not be taken as fact, even if I believe them to be true.

"Last used equipment" simply goes back to how the game used to work before loadouts, it'll keep whatever you used when you logged out the previous game.
If you select a loadout, and it contains items you no longer own (be it consumables you ran out of, or even if an item was taken away by support for some reason or another), the item will simply be skipped.
If you are in the inventory UI, the skipped slot will glow red to notify you of this, but you can ignore this if you wish. If you equip it from the launcher, you get no warning though.

Well, after 44 years of living I thought this was the same :lol:
For me, if it's this or that, dosn't matter, what matters is how high up on the trees the treestand will get? ;)
I asume the trees in this forest are about 350-400 meters high, but ofcorse, I may be wrong :D

Thanks for the info Luna, and I am glad you designed it not only to avoid an issue but also that it will tell you that you ran out of something via the inventory UI.
Excellent work!

Sounds like some really great new developments that we have received or will receive soon.

Wow! It is always amazing to see how much new things the thC can squeeze out of its about 10-years-old engine every day again.

I only wish I had more time to really enjoy all this as much as I was used to some 5-6 years ago... But the game has grown so enormously since then that it is hardly possible anymore to cover everything ....

Why? Consumables can be part of a loadout.

I'm guessing he means if you run out of them & don't realize it, head out & get mauled by a bear to realize you were out of medkits (just guessing though).
DHRifleman asked about that in an earlier thread (maybe earlier in this one, I'll try to find it.
***edit*** hahaha...the reply I was referring to is 3 or 4 comments above this one.
