Megalodon Broken?

[Ealserv78]

My megaledons keep randomly dying and/or get stuck swimming on the surface and won't dive. Even in deep water, they swim in fast circles and won't dive to follow me.

Yeah I've had that bug also. I wish I knew a fix for that. I don't know if it's related to the inventory being full or something.
I thought it stopped happening for me but I don't remember why. Or maybe there was no good reason.

A lot of times I would have two megalodons follow me and one would do that stupid thing where they circle at the water surface, and the other one wouldn't.

And I guess they die if they stay at the surface. I've seen other people saying that also. I never actually saw it happen to my megalodon with my own eyes, but I found one of megs dead before, when I came back to my base. And it was at the water surface.

i have the same issue, but you can actually ride them and they will get to normal behavior.

On ASA, single player, XBOX, lost three megs yesterday.

Just bred in the shallow cove, I whistled them to follow me outside herby island, riding my basilosaurus.

Once I was over deep ocean, 500 m off the island maybe, try as I may, no matter how deep I dived into the ocean with my whale, they staid like stupid floating buoys, turnind around vertically over me, on the surface. Only once in a while one of them cared to dive too… And then they just died, one by one (killed), for no reason.

This a major problem, I was breeding them for the underwater caves…

Ride them for a little while, long enough to bring them well under the surface, and then go back to riding your basil, and they'll follow you normally?

I'll definitely try this, thanks!

An old bug, dont seems they wanna fix it. Got 10 megs in pack... well, for decoration until bug fixed. You can handle it when there are 2-3 of them.. but 10 walking on a water megs (Jesus mode?) its a nightmare

I have now had around 20 megs die of this, tbh ive gotten to the point that in solo i just spawn a new one in, but they arnt close to the same stats, so ive given up on a meg death pack altogether!

normally an answer like i will give would be disingenuous

from a troll


but i am not a troll, and am very serious:



use Xiphactinus instead

their damage reduction becomes extreme in a group,

AND YOU CAN STILL PUT 124% SADDLES ON THEM!!


so a large group of them saddles properly imprinted and bred can destroy anything with ease

alphas of the sea, enemy tuso armies, enemy megalodon armies..

anything...


well except perhaps my deinosuchus 124 army i am building xD

but those are slower, more like gigas used for defense


but the x fish is a toothy monster you should use instead of megalodon


it's much more difficult to tame, but once you get them tamed up and breeding you will see


they're faster than dolphins too,

but unlike dolphins who must flee


Xiphactinus kills everything

nah, the problem is the new IA, when you have more than 2 dinos in "follow" seems like they lost their brains
