Twice in two days, base decorations disappeared from the inventory. And the second time it happened after the update to v2.39, during the Aurora. No error messages. No warning messages when exiting the interior. In Pleasant Valley, when exiting the village store, the icon "Risk of stretching cured" popped up, and... voila: the "Decorations" section in the inventory is empty. Also there is no disappeared decorates at a red lost and found box or cardboard box in the last safehouse customization location

Would it be a bad idea if food spoilage started, when you enter the particular region.

In my opinion, the decay system should be looked at, or at least give custom games more options to control it and add feat progression. A shirt decaying in your locker in Far teritorry while you are on desolation point looting also doesn't makes sense imo, even on interloper. I feel most of my stress in the game comes from items decaying before you can even get to them. I feel you should at least have the option to tweak it quite a bit mor,e at least in custom games without using some 3rd party mods.

We gotta have it! Great comment

Bugs that exist even when the cougar is DISABLED post-hotfix:

#1: Before the hotfixes, I set cougar to NONE in custom settings when starting the run, but as we all know, it did nothing and everyone had the cougar. Now, even after the hotfix with the ON/OFF toggle (I chose OFF), cougar territories on previously-visited locations are STILL visible on the map, but new locations (not visited previously) work fine and don't have the map markers.

#2: Cougar territory music is STILL playing, BOTH in the regions where the territories are visible on the map (visited pre-hotfixes) AND in the regions where the territories aren't shown on the map (visited post-hotfixes).
Those "invisible" territories immediately cut out the background music that was playing before and change it to the cougar theme. I've disabled the cougar, why the hell are the supposed territories are still impacting my gameplay?..

This is likely cause they just made it so that the cougars are shut off but didn't make a proper clean-up script for if the spawned beforehand. As a result your game is likely bugged like this for good. It's like how with my long running game I have old huge dev map markers where the Signal Void bunkers are.

Has anyone else had their Crafted Workbench disappear shortly after placing it? The furniture workbench is still there but the workbench I made is gone.

Just had this happen :( I finished it at night during an aurora, maybe that was an issue?

I happened to find the Festive Sweater before reading the hotfix update so I was truly surprised! the design is hilarious- please bring this to the Hinterland Store- you know people will want this!

lost game progress because a puma appeared in a session where I disabled it. It's a shame, but it gave me good emotions. Thanks for fixing it, damn...

Did they really fix it? Because I was in a house with no food and when I was planning to go out I saw an animation of a puma chasing me even though I turned it off(

I'm on the most recent update and tried to play. After initial screens it shows an error, "FAILED TO LOAD DLL (ERROR CODE -998), GAME WILL NOT LAUNCH" Just a few days ago the game was working fine. Tried Verifying File Integrity, no luck. Anyone else run into this issue?

30 days in ML and no cougar. Annoying.

Hides/pelts decay noticeable faster after the hotfixes, some pelts are unusable to trade with Sutherland now. In particular, wolf and bear pelts decay below 50% before being completely cured. Rabbit and deer is still safe to use for trades, same goes for Cougar and Moose.

You can save before talking with him on the radio to re-roll the trade list. Maybe you're just unlucky, that'll save you some time to look for the recipe.
