Rest zone

Ok so I am tracking an animal, every other track is, track, rest zone, track, rest zone, This isnt the first time its happened

Happenned to me last night I was tracking wounded 'Very low' bleeding animal. After some distance (and about few in-game hours of tracking), I started to see only ' ... > rest > blood > track > rest > blood > track > ... ' over and over again and aligned in perfectly straight line with few turns to avoid water.

I think it's because the animal is getting tired.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking as well. With 50-75% health it tries to rest. But straight line and consistent 'Walk' tracks with inability to catch up with animal even by running, tells me it is most probably a glitch.

sounds like you have a bugged animal. I've seen those tracks before. All in a straight line, no droppings.

Your best bet is to simply quit and reload. That kind of thing happens when the game decides to teleport the animal to someplace on the reserve and leave a straight line of tracks between the two points. You will not catch it, even on an ATV.

Basically, you lost the lotto on that kill. At that point I hopped on an ATV and chased the tracks all the way to Tichenau, then down to the sound end of Schonfeldt, and then back east to Rathenfeldt. On an ATV, after 'walk-very low bleed-drinking zone' tracks.

This is what they should look like:

You should suspect this happens if your trail shows very high frequency, repeating patterns, straight travel lines, and no droppings. Assuming, of course, you aren't tracking downwind.

I've had that before. It's only happened to me with boars though. You get the same pattern and it just walks all the way across the map in a straight line. I don't think I've ever found the animal at the end.

I was persistent. I eventually cornered it against the east waterline in rathenfeldt and got a second shot on it. Once an animal leaves render distance and enters 'simulation', it stops bleeding, it seems.
