You are welcome and you can get Single Player in this game working again, but it just might take some workarounds, due to the most recent updates apparently creating new bugs in the game for Single Player.

If you know a workaround for the taming bug then please let me know cause I really like the tames we can get and would like to get them back :)

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but just now saw this.

I went to another island from the freeport on the Ocean map, and was able to tame a monkey there. I worked as normal. I have all the windows appearing for the animals that are on that island, but I have not tried it yet at tier 2 tames and above.

I saw you said you had issues with the higher tier tames, so I have not tested that yet, sorry. If I do and find anything, I can update this later on. I really hope they get these issues sorted out at some point.

Thank you very much. I will go to a different grid and try again and update this when I find out :)

Just a reminder that if your work-around allows you to play the game in single player, if/ when the problem is fixed, the patch will probably wipe your progress and you will have to start all over again.

Update; I went to the grid next to the starting freeport grid and tried to tame a cow and same thing. The cow just ate forever and did not tame so the bug is still there.
To Skkratch; I am ok with starting over. I have started over 3 times already cause of bug fixes and it does not bother me :)

Edit: I logged off and back on (shut my game off completely) to see if the save bug was really fixed and it was but that also seemed to fix the taming bug as well cause now I can tame the animals.
Thank you again The Giving One :)

Yep, its depends always on the gird's ruleset where you log in. Dont ask why, but if you log in into the freeport, then in 99% of the case you cant tame, even if you sail away to any nonfp grid, because the client will use the "non-taming freeport" ruleset in that playsession.

But, if you sail away to any lawless or non-freeport grid, then you exit and log back in, the game will use the "normal" ruleset for the entire game in your playsession. Fun fact: in this case if you sail back to the freeport, you can tame there too :)

Be careful, if your home region is in the freeport grid, that can bring back this taming bug if you click on "respawn in home region" option after you died somewhere else. So, never ressurect at the freeport, even if you wanna check something at the vendors or anything.

Thank you for this bit of info. Once I find the island I want to call home I will only be going back to a freeport to buy items or crew from the vendors there and yes I will sail there :)

if you somehow get back to the starter zone, and cant build anymore. or just started fresh and have the same problem in the next normal tile.
this behavior is described here:
