Yes very buggy area. What did you think of the water graphically?

Went for a night time stroll this evening.
I was creeping around lake cheela or whatever its called. I was glassing a heard of Elk on the far shore when I heard a faint rustling behind me, turned around and caught a glimpse of reddish coloured fur. "I thought thats got to be a red fox", but it was dark and slightly foggy, there was a bit of foliage between us, wasnt exactly sure of range, so i pulled out the rifle instead of the bow, lined up a shot roughly what i thought must have been centre of mass just behind the top of the front legs.
I pulled the trigger and it dropped, went in for the carcass...
Yeah that aint no fox... range and size is not easy to determine in the dark.
Shortly after bit more walking, up on the slopes of Mt leviathan I heard the unmistakable grunt of a black bear, creeped up and spotted it standing proud on its hind legs, got the trusty rifle out again, by the time i had lined up the shot it was back on all fours with its back to me, lined up a shot on its lower back/tailbone and let rip, amusingly it stopped dead still standing on all fours...

Yeah, the water isn't great. It's more the edges that look bad, for me. That and the edges of any objects being viewed between you and the water.

Had a squirrel and a couple of rabbit, myself. Shame you don't get at least a bit of a reward for them. I'm going to try and get one with the bow, I think.
Spent 3 hours on this today trying (and failing) to track a fallow deer. Time flew by, reminds me of playing Civ
LOL I ended up doing a similar thing the other night, never did get a shot away at one, or anything come to that!
I saw on a video last night someone using the lure to get them to pay a little attention towards your area, which seemed to make the tracking/shooting of one a lot easier and quicker in reaching the objective. I'm yet to try it myself, but might be worth a go?

Fallow are tricky beggars. Even with the rattled lure, as soon as they get the slightest whiff of you, they're ghosts.
Anyone found Fox in Erndorf? Got a mission to track three of them but haven't found one in hours. Loads of Bison around but can't really take them on with the .243 rifle.
.243 soft-point is free. You need to go into your inventory and equip it. If you've tried that, buy some polymer-tip, equip that, then buy some soft-point and try equipping then.
It would really help if there was some indication of how many rounds you have in the inventory screen. Whoever designed the menus in this game should be sacked, tbh.

Thanks, I managed to get 10 rounds but to be honest have no idea how I managed it. I don't have enough rifle xp yet for polymer tips.
Do you have to buy the .243 rounds first and then they appear in the inventory screen?
This is a game though that makes time fly by at warp speed!

first time for some reason you have to click the circle in inventory after that though when you buy rounds they just automatically add.so its just the first time you do this for each weapon.
im loving the game just got struck with the crashing bug some have at moment.frustrating as the game is amazing.sometimes you can play whole day nothing then have 3 crashes in short succession.
they are aware of it though and hopefully its patched soon.nearly got enough for the winchester now.

Thanks I will check that. What a stupid unpublicised thing to have to do first!!!!first time for some reason you have to click the circle in inventory after that though when you buy rounds they just automatically add.so its just the first time you do this for each weapon.

Not sure how it works, tbh. I'd just say don't let yourself run dry of ammo and you should be fine. I don't head out with less than 50 rounds and 20 arrows.
I'm just about to unlock the .270. Can't wait. The .243 struggles with Bison.first time for some reason you have to click the circle in inventory after that though when you buy rounds they just automatically add.so its just the first time you do this for each weapon.

I have had some issues with crashes today. It's happened 5-6 times in around 8 hours. Three were in the space of 10 minutes, though. I started on Hirschfelden and didn't have a single issue for three days, as I said earlier. Went to Layton Lake District and it went nuts. Now, even after going back to Hirschfelden, I am still getting them occasionally. I've been getting some pretty hefty frame-rate dips in places, also.
Is there an official forum, DG? All I can find is the Steam one.

Does that on mine too, even more so on the menu screen, but the biggest problem for me is not being able to change resolution now without it crashing to desktop. It then starts up saying it is in 640x480 even though it clearly isnt at that res.
Just want to set the correct res so i can optimise the other graphical settings to get it looking good with good FPS.
Hopefully there will be a fix soon for the weekend.
