polar bear size bug

Post by Fournoses »

Hi everyone... I would like to report a bug with polar bears (maybe I'm not the only hunter strugglin' with this :) ) ... Since last polar bear competition (bear of spades - febr. 2019), I've been harvesting 2 big polar bears (i link some photos), both weighting more than 520 kg but, for some bug, they just look too small (also after being taxidermized), small like very small black bear... Thehuntersupport answered me in a very kindly way, but they don't really have any answer to that...

the 2 bears are: 1) 29.2 points; 2) 30.197 points. i link also a photo of "normal" polar bear trophy 3), 28.6+ points


1)https://photo.thehunter.com/6e/5b/6e5b3 ... c31946.jpg first too small bear harvest
1)https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/765 ... reenshots/ first too small bear after being taxidermized
2)https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/765 ... reenshots/ second bear, after tax., too small
3)https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/765 ... reenshots/ "normal" polar bear, 28.6+ points...

as you can see he the "normal" bear (which is precedent to "bear of spades" event) looks two times bigger than the other two.

Did anyone else reported this problem? If yes, let s talk about it, reporting and segnalating this bug, so EW will take care of this problem and fix it in a future game update!
Thank you all, good hunt to everyone!

Re: polar bear size bug

I have experienced the same issue only with grizzly bears. The taxidermied animal is no where near the size it should realistically be. Here is my own experience with mounted bears (unfortunately, I have not yet mounted a polar bear so I can't compare it to the other species).

This screenshot depicts a large male (23.425 score) black bear on the left, and a small female (22.717 score) brown bear on the right. Both of these bears are appropriately sized and look fine in the trophy lodge.

The next two screenshots depict the problem. A grizzly bear should, on average, be larger than a black bear and slightly smaller than or equal to a brown bear. However, this taxidermied large male (26.457 score) grizzly bear is smaller than either my 23 male black bear or my 22 brown bear. And not just slightly smaller, significantly so. Even in a standing pose, it isn't much taller than the player model.

This screenshot shows the aforementioned grizzly bear on the left, and the brown bear on the right.

This screenshot shows the aforementioned black bear on the left, and grizzly on the right.

Just compare the height of the brown bear in the second image to the height of the grizzly bear in the third image since they're in the exact same pose. There's a huge size difference. Unfortunately, my personal best grizzly looks embarrassing in my trophy lodge compared to the other -smaller- bears, so I don't display him at all. I assume something similar is happening to the polar bears mentioned above.

Other Details:
I was viewing my trophy lodge in single player when I took the screenshots. I have not viewed the grizzly bear mount from a multiplayer game.
I have only done this size comparison in the rustic lodge, I don't really use my classical lodge and don't own the tropical lodge.
