Tracks stops showing up

[nolongerawake]

Game was on for more than three hours and suddenly no tracks would show up. Animals would still glow when theyre dead but no blood no tracks no nothing.

Was during early morning and tracks had been working in the headlight during the entire night.

Edit: forgot to point out restarting the game solved the issue.

Have you change the track settings lately? Sometimes it will just go back to an earlier setting and then you don't see anything. Really annoying to find you missed all the tracks.

I had tracks vanish on me as well, I only knew they were there because I was getting a prompt to press E coming up!

Restarting the game also fixed it for me too.

Two different issues for me. 1) i shot a deer, but there were no tracks of any kind. Checked settings and they were still set correctly (however i have had settings change on their own a few times). 2) similar to above i see arrival tracks but no after shot hit tracks. I had a blood marker but all of the tracks that show up where prior to my shot (ie approaching the kill point). I have just quit the game and restarted for resolution. very annoying cause i am having to walk a long way for my mission (the cornfield one) from the lodge.

I found travelling to an Outpost and changing the time fixed the issue, only a temp fix.

if its dark you need to have your ingame light on to see the glow of the tracks

this is happening during the day most of the time so it's not a light issue. i turn on the light at night.

I have the same issue. I have tried fast traveling to an outpost, but it does not fix the problem. Restarting works. It's pretty annoying. Specially when tracking a wounded animal. If it disappeares in the woods it's very difficult to find.
It is not only the highlightes of the tracks that disappeares, it's the track. So, it does not help to turn the flashlight on. This has happened multiple times, both during the day and during the night. When the tracks first disappeares, the tracks I have seen before also disappeares. I can see them on my huntermate, but not on the ground...

I think it is something to do with the time of day and the transition from light to dark or dark to light as it has happened to me twice, but only at those times. I tried using my lamp when they vanished but it didn't make any difference.

In my case, this is not the issue. When I restart the game it is still night (or day) and the tracks are now suddenly visible.

What I mean is that it maybe the change from one light level to another that triggers them to vanish, restarting the game brought it back for me too! It's just a theory.

[FreaQshow]

same prob to me :-(

Ah! That might be! Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update.

Well, experienced this for the first time and searched the net for the solution and found this thread.

So here we are in 2021:

It was 16:30 on Layton. I shot an Elk (saw him drop after being hit) and could not track him afterwords (I saw where he run so there was no way to "miss" the tracks.
I could not see any other tracks in the area either.

I shot then a moose which died immediately but when I walked over, I could not found the tracks or the body.

I traveled outside the area by foot (text on screen appears informing you where you are) and shot another moose which I could now track and harvest. Turned and walked back to the place where I had shot the elk and could now find other tracks in area - but not the tracks of the above mentioned elk.

I had not changed the settings before that but did try to change the settings of the color of the tracks right after I discovered the bug.

Pressing C should work. It worked for me!
