Known Issues List

Updated: December 3, 2024

We have created a list of possible issues some players may experience with theHunter after the release of Salzwiesen Park, German Shorthaired Pointer, and free Winter Update. If you are having a problem that you would like to report, please refer to the list below first — we may already be aware of the issue and working to resolve it!

GAMEPLAY

• If the Zeroing Perk is active, and the player presses the “Use Skill” button while a non-weapon item is currently their active item, when they next switch to a Weapon, Zeroing will have reset to default (mid-range) and will not show the current setting in the UI until the “Use Skill” button is pressed again.
• Saltwater Crocodiles may be difficult to “Spot” from certain angles.
• Feral Goats can run in circles while trying to flee in some places in Emerald Coast Australia.

EQUIPMENT

• Players must load their weapons before entering the shooting range, even though they have unlimited ammo once in the range.
• All backpacks, regardless of size or color, have the same in-game model when seen on the player.
• The Odin scope is placed a bit too far away from the player’s viewpoint on the Fors Elite .300

ANIMALS

• Pheasants tend to bounce back up while shot during the landing phase. This is just a visual issue.
• Waterfowl will stop responding to decoys for a while after several groups of them have been scared away.
  • Developer’s Note: Travelling to another decoy setup further away on the map can help mitigate this issue.
• High-flying Waterfowl may sometimes be observed to move weirdly.
• Upland birds such as Ring-necked Pheasant and Black Grouse may sometimes take longer than intended to flee, depending on the terrain.

DOG

• The “Flush” command may occasionally fail to appear on the dog wheel when intended.
• Players might encounter an issue where they see dog’s mouth sticking out the body of the harvest it is carrying.
• The Dog may try to climb over large bird corpses (like Turkeys).
• The dog’s eyes may look odd under certain lighting conditions.
• In Multiplayer, there’s a minor chance that a player might not be able to see the retrieved harvest in another player’s dog’s mouth.

TROPHIES

• If you replace an existing trophy on a stand, the new one won’t show up until you restart the game. However, if you swap the invisible trophy with a different one, the freshly replaced trophy will be visible.

MISSIONS

• Light Brown pumas shot prior to the Outback Update are invisible when placed in the trophy room on Parque Fernando.
  • Developer’s note: This has been a very challenging bug to fix. As of the Outback Update, anyone progressing this mission for the first time should see their trophies without issue. Unfortunately, players who have already placed a Light Brown Puma on the stand will still be stuck with an invisible trophy for now

SYSTEM

• Firing a shotgun loaded with birdshot at a Shooting Range target nearby will result in a noticeable drop in framerate.

MULTIPLAYER

• Waterfowl may occasionally fail to spawn during Multiplayer games.
• There are several issues with the Clay Shooting Range which can occur when playing with multiple players, including:
  • VFX not appearing for all players when a disc is destroyed,
  • Disks not appearing for all players,
  • Disks not being destroyed for all players consistently,
  • Extra disks being fired,
  • Disks no longer appearing at all.

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Players who have already fulfilled the requirements for the “Cuatro Colinas Arc” achievement are not appropriately awarded the achievement.

WORLD

• Players may fall out of the world in a certain spot on the ice south of Zverolova Hill on Medved.

UI

• The placement of the new Hunting Pressure Tooltip may clip over other messages shown in the sidebar.
• PlayStation and Xbox users may notice that the description for the new German Shorthaired Pointer is not shown properly in the UI.

GRAPHICS

• Players may notice a transparent, repeating ascending column while placing Ground Blinds.
• Weird textures occasionally get rendered on static objects, particularly on Xbox.

AUDIO

• Hog Deer sounds like Roe Deer.
• Tripods do not make any noise when rotating.
