Tracking problems

[BIO!]

Just shot two different animals - moose and whitetail deer.

Went to the blood splatters but there was no cone showing initial direction. And there was no highlighted colored track at all.

Was able to locate the second/third blood splatters after a long search - but also once on top of the blood splatter there was no colored track.

Ive had problems in the past with the cone pointing in the wrong direction, but was usually able to find a highlighted track.

May I ask what time of the day (in-game) this was? Thanks!

Morning - around 11am.

[Graham]

Ok, thanks for the information! We'll see if we can re-produce this over here.

Simular issue here too, 1st blood spatter no direction cone. I put it down to the Whitetail was stood still when i took the shot. Thankfully i seen the direction it ran so finding it to harvest wasn't a problem.

Gun used: .270
Shot distance: 202m

Same same.

Just shot another 2 moose.

The 1st blood spatters had no direction cone. But next blood splattters did have a direction cone. But the track stays white - just like other tracks. So hard to follow - especially when they mix with white tracks of other animals.

The track of a wounded animal used to show a different colour.

Has it been changed to make it more difficult / realistic?

Have I changed a setting in-game to change the colour of a wounded track to white?

3.35pm in game Layton Lake.

Just happened again with a coyote. Exactly the same, but this time about 30% of the subsequent blood splatters did not even show a direction cone. Lost him :(

I also get no directional cone on the hunter mate with the initial blood splatter on any of the shots i make.

Yep, Me too, no directional cone at impact point in two days of hunting. Has been a nightmare to find a second blood spatter. Twice I stumbled onto the dead animal without finding additional blood. I changed the color of tracks I am tracking and now, at least the tracks of the animal I have spotted do change color. I just have a hard time finding his tracks after being shot.

[BIO!]

How did you change the color of the track you are tracking? I dont see a setting for that.

[ETERNAL-JACKASS]

Its a option under game options.


I have also lost 3 animals with tracks just disappearing.

PugdogZ many thanks!!!

I had not seen the Game Settings under System In-Game. That does not appear in the Settings on the Main menu.

Anyway I found that my Active Track and Inactive Track were both set to white! So it was impossible to track. Not sure how that was changed.

Just changed the active track to a different color and it worked fine.

So that resolves my main issue with the color of the track. Although still think there are cone directional problems. But this ia huge improvement.

sometimes I didn't see second blood splatters of harvest around about 100 meters , we waste our time for searching, even the game update frequently, it's a old matter there's nobody who cares?

For me after the latest update, the first blood spatter never has the cone, but the subsequent tracks do.

For me also the first splatter never has a cone, the rest usually do
