If that's the case, I wonder if Hinterland has made a commensurate change in the number of places where you can go ice fishing.

There was mention of fixing an issue to PV where they couldn’t place in intended spots but no mention of new spots, alas, it’s a great system still but there’s lots of places that look like they should be suitable but are not sadly

I totally recognise the phenomenon you're describing. However, the flask doesn't degrade with use, so it's no harm to use it, plus there do seem to be quite a number of them around the place, so I don't think I'll be put off. It feels more like a mag lens than a stim, if you see what I mean.

As far as I know the maglens doesn't degrade by suffering from excessive downward accelleration which is known to periodically happen to inhabitants of Great Bear. But, yes, I agree that this probably will not affect actual gameplay.

Occasionally get sound  dropping to almost nothing except I can still hear Astrid walking normally.

Is this just happening randomly throughout the entire playthrough?

I know that this can happen in the new region.

(Spoiler contains a key aspect of the new dlc region, just in case anyone doesn't want it spoiled)

Spoiler

Poisonous gas for some reason makes ambient sound very quiet when walking through it without a respirator

It's randomly... The last time I was in scruffys cave,she was yapping trying to get away from me,after a few minutes it went muffled ,but my footsteps were still normal..  I can't remember where the others happened.

Strange, the closest thing I can think of is when the ambient sound quiets down when entering the back of caves, or outdoor areas where windchill is completely brought down to zero. There are weird areas like in Ash Canyon where a tiny overhang counts as the back of a cave, causing the ambience to soften a bit when it otherwise really shouldn't.

I don't know of this happening inside indoor caves though, maybe it's just a quark of Scruffy's cave.

I think one other was in a building of some sort...  I'll keep an eye on it and see if it happens again.

I imagine "ruined" meat is just moldy and/or filled with bugs that a Level 5 chef can get rid of, since it shouldn't rot in such cold temperatures... but a ruined potato turns into a foul-smelling mush from the inside out... quite inedible I would imagine .

You can eat 0% ruined dog food. How is that any more eddible then a ruined potato? At that temperature the potato is more likely to freeze then rot, everything just degrades so fast, except for cattails and the other gathered food. I thought any veggies added would degrade at the same rate as them,
