I am patient... so that possibility doesn't bother me.

So is the Tales from a far addon not supposed to work for PS5 when the rest of the game does? Because it doesn't and if so can that please be fixed 😭

Are you sure it's not the misconception that almost everyone seems to have?  The maps aren't added to the starting areas screen until you find them in game.

Also if the dlc is installed your Survival menu screen should look something like this.

I came to check because I wanted it to be a surprise, even knowing everywhere I've ever worked hated releasing anything on a Friday. Because if there were problems, and there were always problems, it meant working over the weekend. Nobody likes working over the weekend.

Every place I've worked I've told them that good engineers don't make major changes on a Friday.  For some reason it's always a source of friction.

Recommendation:

Submit a ticket so at least Hinterland is aware of and can work on your issue.

Not at all.
Citric acid occurs "in a variety of fruits and vegetables"
Grapes aren't citrus fruit. Maybe you meant grapefruits, which are citrus and very different from grapes.

I'm a bit confused as to the discussion  on Citric Acid.  Citric acid is completely different from Vitamin C (which is an ascorbic acid). You need Vitamin C to fight off scurvy not Citric Acid.

so what was the point in quotting me? 

 In answer to your question... generally the purpose of quoting another post is to give a reference and context for a response.  Or... to let a poster know their comment is being directly discussed, referred to, commented on, or to maybe even pose a follow up question. 

It's kind of a foundational feature of an online forum.

Do you feel it? the changing winds, the tremors underfoot, something is about to shift on the island, is your kit ready? did you start curing maples and moose? did you bring your extra combat boots and flight jacket to sacrifice to the dangerous new elements? is Vale station stocked to your liking? better hop to it 🙃

[the rest of this nonsense has been redacted] ...bug off 

Clearly your rather snide comment was designed to instigate and provoke...  but I'm not going to take the bait.  I'm not going to waste time and energy with the argument you seem to be trying to start. 🤭

@Abenico
There's still no call to be rude or snide to other posters...
Also, you don't get to dictate what I can or can't comment on. 
...so I won't be "bugging off"  

As you say... cheers.

Please be nice @Abenico... I also thought your comment was a bit rude earlier..   and said so..

This should be a nice ,friendly place to chat and share opinions,whether they agree or not..

It's been like that for a while. (although I'm not sure what you mean by "way above"...)
I've assumed it was the dev's response to the many requests about irretrievable arrows, when the bear lays on them, etc... Your arrows are now always on (or even, a bit above) the carcass, or if not, then you collect them all, when clicking on the body.
I'm happy for this change, even if looking a bit unnatural.

I've found some fleeting arrows though, which slowly fly away a little above the ground, you cannot click on them, and after a while they despawn. I reported that as a bug...

From flat ground, I mean at our eye level..   I was walking towards the little  barn near PV farm saw the wolf ahead and got an arrow in my face when I got there lol..

But if it's meant to be like that, albeit not so high then I can live with it. Kind of makes them harder to miss.. 😁 

[chrislacruz]

So somewhat related, what is the thing with flare shells, after the carcase disappears I generally find a flare shell floating in the air?
 

About 10% of the time I cannot pick it up... I mean I am not complaining, I am sure some of my shells have been used 3 times.

I did have a flying bear in Bleak Inlet, which got on the roof of the house by the inlet and then flew around so I had to shot it from below, now that was an experience!

Shhhhh😁.           I have absolutely no knowledge of any such thing happening ever...  

Flying bears is a new one on me though.

hm..., I have not met arrows that high..., so not sure if it is the same or something else...
Wolfies sometimes take "liberal guesses" lately, about what height they would like to spend their last moments on GBI. Sometimes barely out of the snow, others completely disappearing under, and I also recall one jumping up a cliff... might be a combination of the two...

I've not had an issue with the carcasses themselves..    not in that way anyway I don't think..but I have had a lot I couldn't find lately...  maybe that's why though,the sank....   the blood trails seem to stop too ,then turn up next to the body later...

I've had flying rabbits in Forsaken Airfield.  I wonder if it's connected to the ptarmigans being able to fly away (the first killable mob that can fly)?

Just a thing to keep checking RE the Upcoming update.

Before the last update the Hinterland youtube channel in the Game Update video list had 25 videos with one hidden (the hidden one appeared a day or 2 before the update release).

So I've been checking the same video list for 26 videos (with one hidden) but that hasn't happened yet.

At this point I'm expecting the update to drop later this week. Definitely not tomorrow.
