No blood or tracks on direct hit

[Fuzzy]

The game is suddenly sometimes not showing any blood or tracks for a confirmed direct hit when the map is showing the dark area for the hit. As a result I cannot track animal and lose consecutive credit. The game is also sometimes not saving progress with an error message, asking if I want to send report. This caused me to not get credit for accomplishing an objective. This game is not fun to play right now.

not suddenly, this has been happening for a long time. close to a year if my memory is correct, but then again i have a hard time remembering what i had for dinner last Monday. Been a long time though.

Only thing you can do is a grid or similar type search and hopefully find a blood mark, or a body. I've had one quite a while back that the body was 360m and change from where i shot it, with no tracks between and 100% QK. that's hte farthest i've seen posted so far.

You'll also sometimes see a large gap between tracks, i had one 67m once.

The dark area showing up on the map depicts a kill, not just a hit. Not challenging your tracking ability but I've found it easier to spot the animal, then drop the way point marker on the spot before shooting or at least drop the marker immediately after the shot (never taking my eyes off the spot the animal was at until dropping the marker). I cannot count the number of times I went over to the place I was positive the animal had been standing and finding nothing but when I checked my map discovered I was 20-30m off target.

Game has worked great for months since I got it. Really like the game but it suddenly has a bunch of bugs. I just got the new tech pack, so maybe that's causing the problem. Every time something goes wrong, I verify the file and then reboot. Might work again for a while, but then goes crazy again. Never had a problem until now. Too bad because I really like the game and have almost qualified for the handgun scope.

Old Goat, thanks for the comment. I just shot a deer from 12 yards away with a certain double lung shot and not a speck of blood or track showed up at all, even though it just showed up on the map as a kill. Just started today after months of no problems. Only thing I've changed is getting the tech pack. Now that I think of it, this started when I shot a deer at night after marking it with the night vision binoculars. Maybe the new tech pack has caused things to go crazy. But this is happening when I don't use the new night vision binoculars now.

It happens from time to time in some cases. Today I shot a black bear which was moving toward me, it ran and died about 70-100 meters away but left absolutely no tracks in the process. I think there is a glitch in the game which wasn't nailed yet

Yep i've had that happen with charging bison also.

Used to be able to spot them, then the blue spot marker would show on the map and you could use that to find their splatter, but then 2 patches ago, maybe 3, the spotting marker on the map moved with the animal, so i started doing what Old Goat posted and spotting them, then marking the spotted marker on the map so i could always find the blood splatter, or at least have a starting point to begin searching for tracks in the rare cases there is no blood splatter.

yeah it's been this way since at least mid July as that was when I first experienced it was a few weeks maybe before Yukon was released started with me on Layton and then happens also on Yukon.

Almost like real life is, sometimes 🤔
