To people who lost animals in water...

[VonStreed]

It just happened to me. I remembered somone else posting a screen shot of a tracking misadventure a little while ago where the animal they were chasing was teleporting acroos rivers and lakes. I also have had that happen to me once when I fell into a lake while thrying to walk along a very steep shore. I was teleported to the other side where it was not so steep. So I decided that I would run around the lack my buck ran into and vanished thinking the same might have happened to him. Sure enough, there he was dead on the other side.

I know it looks like water on the map, but it is a grassy land bridge with a wooden walkway.

So before you give up looking. Take a few minutes to run around and see if it is there.

yeah the one I lost just ran directly into the water as no high grass like you have there and the prints were submerged and the only land on the other side was an island with no way to access it.

You got lucky though!!

I've had them end up in the middle of the river on the Layton side (unable to reach them), and they do teleport to the other side often (and sometimes back over again - which is EXTREMELY annoying). I just get tired of having to make it to the other side by fast traveling to the nearest outpost and running to the spot where they crossed, or finding the nearest bridge.

As I said in another post - I don't want to play to the bugs. I've got video from this afternoon, where two bison I hit with slug (while they ran past me) teleported to the other side of the river.

But they are also teleporting into nothingness (I've had bison and hogs both just disappear while they were running in front of me after I hit them. Not a trace of them other than the blood spot where I hit them.)

I had the same issue few times. When I track the injured animal, the tracks always disappear near a river or a lake. And there will be no other tracks in 500m radius. I think I'm gonna report it as a bug.

And when you go to the bug reporting category, there are many people suffering the same problem. I think it should be fixed.

Lol. I'm checking on bugs happening to me that have been happening to people a year ago! Never a fix, never a word from the dev's about it. Ridiculous.

As for the water issue? Had 3 vanish at waters edge after tracking one of them for at least a km!
Also shot a female elk that vapourized. Blood spot, no tracks to follow. Gave up then shot another elk across the river (calburn). Went an collected that one across a land bridge, made my way back across....and there was my previous elk dead on the floor near the riverbank! No tracks of how it got there. Weird AF!

Exact same thing just happened to me. It's happened to me twice today which is why I decided to search to see if anyone else had the issue. Thanks to this thread I was at least able to find the second trophy.

Exact same location too. It seems like a particularly bugged area of the map.

I think this needs no further explanation..

Glad this isn't just me. Lost two Mythical Red Deer to this just tonight :( Run straight into a river and then vanish... Not sure if they appear on other side as it's dark.

I just had my first vanishing act, shot a deer 8 yds away was walking up to it and it disappeared, tracks, blood and the deer

[spuddy]

They know about the bug it happened to the devs on a live stream lol.

[wubbelflup]

the teleporting never was a problem for me untill recently.

[A TIN OF JAR]

Happened to me just last night on Layton Lake, shot a Whitetail and its tracks just vanished, decided to just forget about it, headed down toward the river and there it was in the water ... Must have been 60-100m from where i actually shot it.

Luckily it was not to far out so i was able to harvest it still.

[[DVDF]Merlin]

Shot a deer at layton during the week and the shot sent the deer into the middle of the lake. No way to harvest . Lost count of the amount of times animals simply disappear after shooting.

I shot a Bear Around the lungs I think and It ran into a huge Lake. I looked around for atleast 10 minutes and the only thing I could find were the tracks leading into the lake.
