Winterbois Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This might have been known. But I found that in Wintermute if a wolf is approaching you, you can save and reload the game and it will despawn the wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be the same on survival, I had that happen a few times on faulty save I had! Can change weather patterns too! Comes in handy sometimes!🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfuegemann Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yes, in survival mode the game is saved only in several situations and not on exiting the game. You have to sleep or enter a building or transition cave with loading screen to save. And as a convenient service, the game is also saved after You got injured, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can’t manually save in survival? Edited September 24, 2021 by Winterbois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfuegemann Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Entering a building is a bit better - or sleeping for an hour, but then best make a coal fire to stay warm and save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I figured. I guess it makes sense, being able just getting rid of a enemy just by saving does take a bit of the survival aspect away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuegemann Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I do not like save-spamming. But for me it is sometimes hard to find a suitable spot to end a playing session. For instance transitioning from BR->Muskeg or in TWM/AC. And wasting an hour of good weather and daylight together with a match and fuel is not always welcome. In the beginning I wondered about the "lost" playtime after exiting a game, not realizing that the last save-point was quite a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is of course riskier to provoke an injury but you can do it wherever there's a slope, which makes it accessible. On the higher difficulties the weather makes it a lot riskier to just pass time/sleep anywhere outside. The way I recall it you have to pass at least a full hour before the game will actually save.

Yeah, I am fine with manual saves but I have no idea why the game let’s you save during combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what it is dependent on but the wolf that I couldn’t get to disappear was one the was eating a deer so I’m assuming there is a relevant factor in that.

Possible! Some of the more experienced players might have a theory for it! But I'm honestly not sure! Just glad it worked when it was needed!😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having played on custom or pilgrim only though I've never really tried to use the reload due to enemies! It's either been weather or a save issue!!
