Is this in single player or multi? If it's single player, it happens sometimes when you shoot a bunch of animals without claiming them. You COULD wait an hour for them to be "freed" by the game, but I've found an easy way to get them to reset. Fast travel to an outpost in another region, then fast travel back - it makes them reset. Some of them might end up moving a short distance from where you orignially downed them, but usually it's not too far off.

Multi player may just be a lag issue. I see it happening all the time.

it happend in single had lag vertion in multiplayer once 3 bison would run when you shoot them but not move shoot them again they would teleport a short distance ahead and would continue that till death but wouldnt claim had another player sho up could see the masive blood trails as i was shooting them point blank but he couldnt see the downed bison only i could so weird but thx that might work the next time i have that ill try it.

This is an old bug - I know its old, because I ran into it back when the game first launched. What you have here bud is a ghost animal. Its a ghost because while YOU could see the animals on your screen - the host server however, had them listed as being somewhere else. This can be verified by asking someone to meet you near one of the animals. Chances are you can see them, but no one else can - because on the server side - the animals arn't there.

Sucks bud, I know - best thing to do is shrugg it off and hope it gets fixed. - Happy holdiays though! :P

ya or if u need the money to replace the expensave ammo just use a railroad tunnel run easy XD

a "Quick and Dirty" solution for claiming the prey is to mark spot and port to the (farest away) outpost, then return to your prey. If you still cant claim it - repeat.
I was mostly able to claim the prey with at least the second try. (I never tried it a third time..)

And yes I also had a lag issue today. means it opened window to me after a short time, after I was clicking the buttons like a berserker...

I have the same bug/25.04.2019/ Did u find any way to fix it? I can't claim any trophy on multiplayer.

That’s a glitch in the matrix there’s only one way to fix it and that’s to make a pact with Hircine the Spirit of the Hunt and make a sacrifice of your computer, your soul, and your first born child ha just joking.

log out and log back in to the server you were on it has to do with your network connecting to the server think of it as a massive lag spike, i have had it too one time I massacred an entire herd of bison never got to claim them because while I was shooting them they didn’t run but in reality they did and where i was seeing them dead they weren’t there though.

Their blood pools were right where I was I painted the ground with their blood the sad fact was since I shot them dead while they were glitched there was no blood trail to lead me to the real corpses I wasted probably over 1k in ammunition for my .270 Stradivarius due to it.

So ya there is no fix for it probably won’t have one for a long time due the servers being the way they are the best I can say is hope it doesn’t happen to you or don’t go alone on the server travel in pairs so if it happens one of you can give chase while the other commits the slaughter of sheep.
