Deer carcass disapeared

[Corso]

Not sure if this has already been reported but since the chapter update I keep loosing the starting deer carcass

The last time it was on Ravine- the one by the rope point down - went to harvest it but changed my mind before I started as I needed rest

went to one of the caves to sleep and when I returned it was gone - happened on Stalker and Loper games but not something I've seen before?

This is something we're looking into as we've heard a couple other reports from other players. Thanks for your patience as we investigate.

I've also just noticed on my return to Mystery lake that all the carcasses there have disappeared..

[Valuable Hunting Knife]

think it's all over the island, but only deer (found a wolf carcass in AC cave).  funnily enough I have still found a couple of broken arrows where the carcasses should be, such as unnamed pond in ML, and Kate's corner in DP...

Is the wolf outside the cave in bleak always there? Because it isn't on mine for the first time since I started playing?

There are deer inside  some caves on this save,just none outside.

@LeeandaI've been wondering where that went myself.  Haven't seen that wolf corpse in a while.

Its not just me then?I wasn't sure if it was a permanent thing or not!

I just started a new game (still on Pilgrim) and am now in Mystery Lake area -- traveled from Bleak Inlet (no deer remains found there at all)  thru Forlorn Muskeg (one at the cave exit & possible one out on the iffy ice area but nothing else in expected/known areas).

Found & harvested one deer carcass in the "barn" near Trappers Cabin the first day, but have not found another since. Nothing along the train line, in the fenced area at the dam, by the hunter's blinds, or in the clear cut. There are corpses there, but no deer.

I even noticed that when you collect a corpse in installments, you suddenly lose interaction with them

There are still bugs in v1.98.
Starting on the stalker's coastal highway, I entered the hut without touching the deer carcass in front of the hut. After spending three days indoors, when I go outside, the deer carcass disappears.

Bugs...bugs...

Static deer in Ravine.  Didn't touch it. Slept. Went back to harvest - gone !

In a perma death game these things matter.

Every new update seems to break so many things 🙄

Lost any remaining carcasses from my 1k+ voyageur run, about 4 days into exploring Blackrock after the update dropped. So they're clearly decaying at the normal carcass rate rather than sticking around indefinitely.

I noticed this as well. Normally in certain regions, a ravaged deer carcass typically spawns (free food  the player doesn't have to earn). This is very helpful since it can take some time to get the first firearm or bow for hunting on a new playthrough. However, in my last few playthroughs, I noticed 90% of the carcasses aren't spawning. At first, I thought maybe the GMs decided to reduce the number of carcasses simply to make it harder, but if they are actually suppose to spawn, then this is quite the annoyance.

They are despawning after three days like all the other carcasses. This happens three days after you enter a region for the first time, so when you enter a new region you've got three days to get 'em all.

Gotta get 'em all!

 

Yes, I feel that this is a bug and not intended; that said, having them disappear and putting them all on a 15-30 day randomized timer to respawn is not a terrible way to change it... have spawn points for the carcasses, have half of 'em spawn when the player first enters a region, and then start respawning each of the spawn points 15-30 days after the previous carcass despawns.
