[Beatrix Kiddo]

I tried. the message to pick up the corpse still there, and the deer is still under the tree

[Patpat]

Owwww that sucks indeed, I dunno what to tell you except filing a bug report using the pinned thread...

I shot him twice in the lung at pretty close distance, he fled, blood trails dissapered, and now he's not respawning, even after sleeping in the lodge. So pretty much stuck aswell. Did you find a solution to respawn him or restart the mission?

I have found that animals that I have shot and have a lot of dark red blood loss disappear along with the blood trail very quickly. Where as a trail with medium blood loss is easy to follow and I always find the animal. I there is a small amount of blood loss the animal almost always gets away.
The animals that I have shot at close range +/- 50 yds that have lots of blood loss are the ones that usually disappear.

no, I'm sorry. I'm still stuck. I reported the bug but they haven't answered me yet.
I was thinking of looking for the game folder and deleting it to start over. Absurd after spending 40 euros. unacceptable.

Frustrating, I also screwed up the shot at Hollywood but it didn't die and ran away. So I had to sleep and come back to the region it drinks in the morning. After some walking around in the zone I finally found its herd and got it.

That's what I thought too, but here Beatrix has got the message to collect the body ...

Mmmm, considering you are not very far in the game, maybe restart ?

[Ecru]

Have you tried to press the harvest button, maybe it just doesn't show the prompt?

[Patpat]

Send that vid to the devs using the bug tool, imho it is definitely a bug.

[Beatrix Kiddo]

yes i tried to collect but it doesn't. The deer is bugged. Yes, I just have to delete the game data and start over.

That's what I would do because it's really not far into the game but you need to make the devs aware though :)

You will have to revert to an older autosave, you do that by doing this:

1. Do Windows Key + R Key combination
2. A box appears, write without quotes "%localappdata%/WayOfTheHunter/Saved/"
3. right-click on the SaveGames folder, copy it then paste it, this makes a SaveGames - Copy folder, leave it as is,
4. Check the top part of your Windows Explorer window, where it says View, click on that tab and look for "file name extensions" and put a checkmark on the box next to it"
5. Go to SaveGames folder and rename ItemDatabaseSave.sav to ItemDatabaseSave.sav.bak
6. Click on Date Modified right below the navigation bar (where it shows Saved > SaveGames) and then find the Autosave that is the closest to your save.
7. Rename the autosave to ItemDatabaseSave.sav (this means you remove -Autosave#)
8. Try the game again and see

Edit: oh maybe you already deleted the save...so this advice is useless
