Weird bug with zeroing on rifles.

[Haddock_Dundee]

Changing zeroing on one rifle changes zeroing on rifle in adjacent slot!
I was missing shots lately and did not understand why my zeroing was different (+ or -) than what I set it to be for a rifle. Until I noticed the above that can be repeated easily.
So let's say I have a shotgun in slot 1 and I change it from 75 to 50 (or any other value allowed on that shotgun). When I take my .243 in slot 2 it's zeroing as changed from 150 to 300..... If I change that one back to 150, the shotgun will change also. DOH! Dunno if this is a known bug or a new one that crept in with last update. Try it and observe.

Is just like the C key that was reassigned to hide/show animal traces instead of crouch that I now did set to numpad + (as N was to close to show map on my azerty keyboard). This bug is WORSE.

Just proves they don't run any regression testing. We have to do it. We are the eternal beta testers.

that's been the case for quite a while, at least going back to December 2021 (when I started playing the game). All weapons in your inventory wheel are affected, IIRC.
It is annoying to be sure, so you have to get into the habit of double checking the zero whenever you select a new weapon.

zero settings impact all firearms. The initial setting is the default zero. Once you activate the zeroing perk then the 1st level of that perk becomes setting 2 and the 2nd level becomes setting 3. All zeros are effected accordingly so sight adjustment for the .22 to be 150 meters (the max zero distance for the .22 in this game would be the 3rd setting. The zero for the .300 would also be changed to it's 3rd setting which would be 300 meters. Admittedly it is a bit strange and regardless of what setting you've assigned, all zeros revert to the 150 meters (or second setting) when you enter the game if the zero perk is activated. it's a design thing and not a bug.

Ty both. I had never notice this until today with lost of frustrating miss. Will now double check before taking target. But how strange this is.

all weapons have short, mid, long zeros. if 1 weapon is set to short, all will be set to short. same with mid and long, all will be set to same setting as the weapon you most recently adjusted

In 'Way of the Hunter', the elevation zero range setting is an adjustable parameter (the elevation turret) associated with the weapon (and you only see this when looking through the scope), whereas in this game, it seems that this parameter is associated with the HUD. I suppose there is a rationale for it - after you've set up a shooting position and range estimated your target, you can set an appropriate zero; when you select your firearm, you don't have to worry about 'dialing the elevation turret', even if you decide at the last moment to switch to another firearm. However, if you have the 'Ranger' perk (it's a 3rd (counting the root node as 1) tier node in the handgun perks tree), which is now really useful since the last update ( it displays the estimated distance to the target as a lower-upper bounds pair when you spot an animal), you can skip the separate range finding step and set a suitable zero distance fairly quickly.

might be more than just that... shooting a lot of blanks lately with all rifles that are NOT the new ones. basically point blank missing even without Zeroing.
Been odd sense the update.

yeah ive had that happen a few times, even at the shooting range shot does not register sometimes

edit: wanted to add it seems to not have happened as often the last couple days though, seemed to happen more right after the update but last few days ive been hitting fine, which doesnt make sense and weird to me

Well after some more trying and setting, I must say this zeroing setting for one rifle that changes ALL other rifles at same time is ridiculous IMHO. I wear 4 different rifles to respect etic on animals I hunt and kill. Sometimes as I wander in forest or rivers I have to change quickly from gun after checking distance with finder. I 50% of time forget about this "all guns at same time" zeroing and shoot to short or to far if I just changed of gun. A pita.

I'm sure this is not case in RL if you wear more than one scoped gun.
EACH gun should have it's OWN zeroing and STAY as set.
Would avoid tons of frustration. Even after 1.900 hrs hunting.

yeah when i first got zeroing it took me a bit to remember to check zeros every time before the shot. i recently dropped those 2 points for 2 points in fast shouldering though and glad i did. its nice not having to mess with zeros and just spot, range, shoot. fast shouldering is a big perk to me now that ive tried it since like you i carry multiple weapons including a compound bow. it cuts the switching between all weapons and items in half. it even does it for nocking/drawing arrows for compound bows which is huge time saving since the animation is longer than just raising the other weapons. even better for ppl like me that hit the wrong button sometimes causing it to take more than twice as long to bring up the item/weapon i intended

Sorry to necro but I’ve noticed (at least recently) that my zeroing box randomly goes blank occasionally and when it’s blank any shots taken do not register AT ALL. I can’t seem to find any info on this bug either.
