  • Relevant species from Intisuyu Hunting Reserve have now been added to the codex entries for Game Feeders .
  • On Medved Taiga National Park , the second objective for the mission Federal Ecoservice #5 now displays in the UI.
  • On Intisuyu Hunting Reserve , we fixed an issue where you could complete the mission Brother’s Tall Tale #3 by shooting any animal in the heart, even non-Caimans.
  • On Intisuyu Hunting Reserve , we fixed an issue on the mission Brother’s Tall Tale #3 where you were required to kill with a single shot to the heart.
  • On Intisuyu Hunting Reserve, the mission Brother’s Gift can now be completed by taxidermizing a Great One.
  • Addressed an issue where the game could crash if someone in a Multiplayer session was being attacked by a Jaguar.
  • Fixed several issues with the way the game allocates memory.
  • Taxidermizing Old Scar will now result in a trophy with her unique fur variation.
  • To make up for the bug with Old Scar ’s trophy having an incorrect model: People who have taxidermized her before this patch will retain the pseudo-melanistic trophy.
  • Anyone who previously completed the mission will have a new trophy of her added to their trophy collection. So even if you forgot to taxidermize her, you will still get a free trophy.
  • A moment of silence for all the odd and beloved creatures you've encountered. We have patched the issue that would sometimes make your harvests look "low-poly" in the Harvest Screen. Gone, but not forgotten.

Patch 9.2 June 15, 2026

  • On Emerald Coast, we fixed several issues blocking progression for the In Saltie Territory mission.
  • Bengal Tigers will be more clever when in danger of being spotted, making for a more roarsome experience on Nepal.
  • Your dog should act more natural around water.
  • Game Feeders should attract animals like they did before the previous patch. Boars had peace for long enough.
  • Tent placement has been adjusted, allowing you to set up camp on slightly steeper inclines.
  • We optimized various different systems to reduce memory usage and increase stability across the board. The only thing you might notice is a smoother experience if you’re playing on something with limited memory.
  • Made Grizzly Bear footprints look like they were made by paws rather than hooves.
  • Hog Deer trophies will be categorized as having antlers, rather than horns.
  • Brown Bear skeletons have been reconnected in x-ray view.
  • Touched up the Whitetail Deer’s stomach, which was previously deforming unnaturally when in movement, creating shading and clipping issues.
  • Stopped the Whitetail Deer elbow and shoulder bones from breaking unnaturally in movement.
  • Smoothed out the Gray Fox ’s unintended belly dent that is visible in some poses, particularly as trophies.
  • The Collared Peccary ’s spine has been reconnected to its rear and head areas on x-ray view in the harvest screen.
  • Fixed an issue where Eurasian Woodcock trophies would change colors in the lodge depending on your graphics settings.
  • Did more eye surgery on the European Badger and Mountain Goat , whose eyes weren’t pointing in the right directions.
  • Bengal Tigers should correctly play call animations and sounds while walking.
  • Fixed an issue where one of the large Moose TruRacs base models didn’t have variations. This fix adds the appropriate variations and recalculates the scores to match. Any pre-existing trophies using this antler model won’t have scores adjusted. Existing moose already on your maps may get new antlers.
  • Gave Wolves more sense of direction. Previously they would frequently turn around, stop, and start unnaturally while fleeing within a pack. Hopefully now they find their way home.
  • Fixed an issue where Snow Geese would sometimes flicker between darker and lighter colors when flying.
  • On Tòrr nan Sithean , we fixed an issue where some small, portable structures could be placed in invalid locations underground at Caisteal an Eilein .
  • The Cassidy Combination Shotgun is now properly categorized as a shotgun when completing objectives which require use of shotguns. It’s a shotgun.
  • The Carcass Feeder and Mineral Lick will now play sounds when filled.
  • Game Feeders filled from the map will also play sound.
  • Fixed an issue where if network connection was lost while riding the ATV, your character would develop broken animations and deformed joints. We’re sorry you had to experience that.
  • On N ew England Mountains , we fixed the New England Landmarks mission that was previously impossible to complete if you visited a landmark before picking up the mission.
  • On Medved Taiga , missions Federal Eco Service #5 , An Influential Person #2 , and Bears for Grankin #2 are no longer blocked.
  • On Vurhonga Savanna , we fixed an issue where The Maritz Final Exam could be successfully completed with Gold or lower Cape Buffalo and not with higher medals, when it should only accept Gold and higher. You’ll need to really prove yourself to Dr. Maritz next time.
  • On Askiy Ridge , we fixed an issue where interactive objects on the Aftermath mission weren’t highlighting.
  • On Mississippi Acres, the mission Lizard Brain is now completable without needing to restart.
  • On Tòrr nan Sithean , we fixed issues in certain languages where dialogue wouldn’t come upfor the Pipe Down and Read the Bones missions.
  • On Askiy Ridge , several missions now have their missing images attached to their codex entries.
  • Resolved a crash that may occur if you lost connection to the internet while starting a multiplayer session and then reconnected.
  • Patched up several different cases where the game may crash instead of properly shutting down when the game was closed.
  • Fixed an issue where one of the square platforms couldn’t be customized with paints.
  • The medal indicator on the Premium Plaques should no longer disappear when viewed from certain angles (second time’s the charm!).
  • Visual issues with the female Gredos Ibex horns-only pose have been fixed.
  • Visual issues where the female Beceite Ibex pose would clip through the plaque has been fixed.
  • Moose antlers should no longer clip into several plaques.
  • Fixed an issue where the Javan Rusa antlers-only pose would have its head clip through its plaque.
  • More evenly distributed the Mirriam Turkey ’s tail feathers in several different trophy poses.
  • Fixed an issue where Dark Brown Woodland Caribou trophies would show up in the wrong color.
  • Accessing any of the equipment customization menus and then accessing the reticle customization screen should no longer revert your reticles.
  • Made sure you can see the entire Affected Species list for Callers in the Inventory screen.
  • Fixed a lighting issue on certain reserves that made metallic equipment look more reflective and shiny than they should, particularly if you were in a dark area during the day time.
  • On Salzwiesen Park , we fixed an issue where you could get stuck in a tent at Henkelpott Outpost .
  • On Tòrr nan Sithean , we raised up a fence and bulletin board that were previously clipping into the ground at Crow Crown .
