No Wild Animals

[Natrix42]

Eight-ish hours on steam. On the quest "The Prey" and just realized I haven't seen a single wild animal and there still zero while being on the quest.

That's actually pretty realistic. Take a walk in the woods in real life, there are deer and foxes and snakes out there somewhere, but you can be there many hours before seeing one. Turns out animals are pretty good at hiding. It's only in video games and zoos where the animals are just out in the open for you to look at.

No. I played KC:D on the xbox game pass when they had it. Wild life is abundant.

there are wildlife spawn points that will get marked on your map

rabbits will also randomly appear in woodland areas, and usually spawn behind the player

and "spawn" is the most important point...

animals do not "spawn" until Henry enters the correct area, so oddly, no animals from a distance doesn't mean animals won;t spawn when Henry's up close

use this map to find the "hunting spot"s, and when you get the spawn location pop-up notice, then pause, crouch, and move slowly in a circle - watch for spawning animals - increase circle radius to spiral outward

Also check your noise level. If you re wearing chainmail or plates or something like that animals will run away sooner than you can meet them.

When you want to go hunt, you need to be as quiet as possible.
Same with robbery or putting poison in kumans food.

it's pretty easy to run into hares in the woods. Just walk into a forest, stand there for a minute, then walk slowly around. You should be able to see one shortly without much trouble.

Other animals seem to only spawn in their designated hunting spots.

There are spots where they'll spawn outside of their designated hunting spots. There's a patch of woods a bit northwest of Sasau where I had boar and roe deer spawn every once in a while, without any markers. They also ran away no matter how far away they got, so I've got a feeling they were meant for filling in scenery rather than for actual hunting.

I've followed deer on horse back and they roamed the country from one deer hunting spot to the next, to a third and then circled back to the one where i spotted them.

Some times it seems like the forest in empty, and sometimes, every where you turn something is moving in the distance. But that's if you're lucky and probably standing right on top of one of the hunting spots.

ZERO Wild life found. All of you sound like dev's not trying to fix bugs.

Game has countless bugs and issues and crashes to this day. KCD has not been fixed in years.

Dude, this isn't a bug if you're the only one this happens to. I've played the game for 4.000 hours, and I've never encountered a forest without wildlife. Yes, sometimes you don't see a hare for two in-game hours, mainly because there is grass and they are a bit small, but the Prey quest has you hunt for six hours. That's enough to shoot more than 10 of the buggers. I think my record stands at 18. But I had levelled hunting before, so I could practically walk up to them and shoot them from point blank range.
