Wolves and Coyotes now have a smaller, more realistic size
New 22nd season starts today!
The Rustic Trophy lodge now features two more medium platforms for all your beautiful bobcats
The camo app now features the player backpack icon
Boar & Bear behavior: Added a check, so that one can’t exploit the fact that the animal needs to turn to be able to line up a charge. Before, a player could walk up to an angry animal, and then just make sure to walk in a circle around it. Now, the animal will run if the players comes close to it.
Bug fixes:
Fix for the roaming bug randomly affecting all animals and mostly noticeable with bears, a.k.a. “bear roaming bug”
Fix for the yellow tint glasses
Fix for the pheasant tail in the trophy lodge
Fix for the never ending spinning wheel after harvest screen
Fix for hogs and boars “freezing” sometimes when threatened
Hunting backpack – Basic is now properly added and you can find it in your inventories or buy it in the store. (Reminder – if you had bought the item “Increased capacity“, previously sold as “Backpack”, before the patch yesterday, you should have received Hunting backpack – Basic for free.)
Another fix for the F2 command for self look inside the trophy lodge – now it should work for all lodges
Fix for facemasks and sunglasses clipping
Fix for Steam achievements for 10mm Semi-Automatic pistol and .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
Hunting backpacks – new clothing item and new inventory slot. Backpacks don’t have any gameplay functionality, apart from camo for some of them (you can find more details in the store descriptions). Buying a character backpack does not increase your backpack capacity or carry weight. Increased capacity can be purchased under the “Upgrades” category. If you have bought the Increased capacity item (previously known as “Backpack”), you will get a Basic green backpack for free.
Changes
Trophy shot sync fix in Multiplayer
F2 camera now works within 360 degrees radius (so you can see the back of your characters, including new backpacks)
New launcher v808. Please note that there might be some hiccups when upgrading to a new launcher, but after it’s done, patching should go well. If you experience errors with updating the launcher: re-open the launcher and it should update fine after the first error. In the worst case scenario (should not be needed, but just in case), just install the new installer directly from the website
Bug fixes
Fix for the slow loading inventory, maps and trophy lodge UI (to fix this, we developed and implemented a new system for loading images for Inventory and Maps locally, rather than from the web as it was before)
Fix for the missing clock and too bright plants textures in the classy trophy lodge
Fix for the ammo color bug for the 12GA Pump action shotgun
Increase of the max travel range for 16GA birdshot
Tweaks to contextual help prompts with “buy” buttons to make them less intrusive
Fix for the reloading of the 12GA Pump action shotguns – they don’t show an empty shell flying out when reload is done anymore
Fix for the waterfowl flying through the trophy lodge
Fix for the F2 command for self look inside the trophy lodge
Trophy Lodge – Rustic. The new trophy lodge features two levels, 27 trophy slots (including a full body mount for deer), and a small new feature – radio. You can buy it separately in the store as well as in a bundle with a Classy trophy lodge. The functionality and gameplay are the exactly the same as of the Classy one.
Extended contextual help with possibility to buy items (scent eliminator, tent and face paint) from in-game – please note that to use this feature you need to turn on your contextual help via Settings
Changes
Trophy lodge editor is now available on web / launcher – you can now hide, drag and drop your trophies, rename lodges via Game management tab (available under Settings).
You can now visit your friends’ trophy lodges via Trophy Lodge selection manager, both in SP and MP, even if they are not online.
Species specific camo (eg. Boone & Crockett, Outback outfit) is now highlighted brown in the camo app when used on the reserves with respective species.
Bug fixes
Fix for the fps drop when using a shotgun vs hard surfaces and objects (eg. ground)
Fix for the Aimpoint scope on 7mm rifles
Tweak for large platforms, so large bears would not hit the roof
Trophy animals on small round, medium round and large square platforms in the Trophy lodge can now be rotated with help of PgUp / PgDn keys (default). Like the rest of Trophy lodge editing, this can only be executed in a single player mode
All Trophy lodges in the EHR now feature special Midsummer decorations!
Fixes
Another fix for the excessive “moaning” of black bears
Fix for the bear model on the RFF shooting range (it was only possible to get a body shot on it before)

Ibex head in the forward pose is slightly lowered
Fix for a bug where the rename input field would sometimes disappear in the lodge editor
Fix for a bug where achievements on the expedition statistics screen displayed as 1 off from what was actually earned. (Displayed 500 when you earned the 1000 achievement, 0 when earning the 1 achievement, and so on). This fix only applies to expeditions started after 2017-06-20 10:00 and is not retroactive to previously bugged expeditions
