Carolina Reaper? Nupe. I do like habaneros for flavor and heat in my chili, and for the habanero pepper jam I used to make. I am silly like that, but not crazy like reaper fans, lol. 😬

This is on Windows 10, but the location should be the same or similar on Windows 7/8.1. Not sure about the exact path on Linux or Mac, but it should be similar (folder name/location) ((I can't check this or post it, since I do not have a Linux or Mac with the game installed on them, only old build machines from my old company, sitting in storage right now.)). I don't recommend changing anything in it, as you may break your game, but putting it in a new folder with the .dll file like the video shows *might* work, and will leave the files/folders intact to move them back to the game files if/when needed. And keep in mind that if you are using a Steam copy of the game, verifying files *might* re-download and re-install those files in their original locations if you do move them to a new folder in the Plugins folder. But, it's there if you want to read it, while waiting for a hotfix.

Especially the veggie ones, cold veggies are bland.

If you have to keep it equipped (feel like you have to...), be very careful when you click on a stick or any loot you are trying to pick up. Make sure the item label is showing, and click on the item label, not the item. I generally don;t go around with the revolver in my hand, but when I have felt I had to, making sure I only click on a visible item label has kept me from hipfiring unintentionally. But, yeah, it is slower, since you can't run and just randomly click and hope.

Excuse me? "But she is just paranoid." Excuse me? You don't know me, or why I am so concerned for my personal privacy, and protection of my information. I do not think Hinterland would ever misuse and data I gave them. I trust Raph and his team. But random people like you or others here, on the Internet in general, and on social media? Yeah. I have no reason to trust random people on the Internet. @Raphael van Lierop and his team are professionals. I trust them. It's people like you that I do not. Capish?

No worries. That first part with the blizzard lines was a bit intense, and yeah, it felt like I got at least double teamed the first time I did it, and got Astrid's face torn off, lol.

I know you didn't. you were just having fun, as was LkP. Just making my reasons clear, so they are actually understood. Sick as a dog today, and a little on edge. My apologies if I seemed too gruff. 🥞?

😁

@ThePancakeLady LkP beat me too it! Lol! Nice try, but... I am not bending the thing I need to help keep me upright, and balanced on my feet, just to dress up for a contest. Plus, I am very private, at least with my PII, and my actual facial images, thanks to deepfakes and facial recognition SW on the rise. I like my privacy, and don't particularly care to allow use of any recognizable photos m of myself by anyone, not even Hinterland, who I will support in any other way I can. I rarely ever put my own image online for any reason, and tend to delete it shortly thereafter. I am mouthy, opinionated, and outspoken, but private at the same time, and protect my personal and online identity and privacy fiercely. Had enough trouble over the decades due to serious data-breeches *ahem *Fakebook data-breeches*ahem*. Nothing personal, but very few people who I did not have a business relationship with know the former name & address of my company, or know the name or legal address of my home-based business now. And if I don;t know you well, I don;t want you to know who or where I am, what I look like, r or what the addresses of my primary and secondary residences are. I'll still pass, for those reasons. Even though I was trying to make light of my reasons before. Because i do believe I could actually pull these looks off, relatively easily.

There is a thread that tells you how to do that, but it is a bit difficult to find. (In a place you might not think to look.) Third Pinned thread here: https://hinterlandforums.com/forums/forum/68-general-discussions-misc-topics/

The wolves you encounter at the blizzard line at the beginning, going to Molly's barn are regular "blackie" wolves. At least in my capable Survivor game they were. The struggle animation when I got nailed by one of them on the first try was the black "regular" wolf face. Not the grey, furrier Timber Wolf face. And it was daylight out (though a blizzard) and I could clearly see they had black pelts not grey ones, and were not as big as the Timbers I met later on in the Episode. And they looked nothing like the dead wolf Molly killed inside the barn.

I am not sure which version. Someone on the Steam forums posted a video showing their fix, and only mentioned SSE4, no specific version. Link here to that thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/305620/discussions/4/1693843461181091767/ (Checked my system specs, and my current somewhat high-end rig shows SSE4a unsupported, but SSE4 1 and SSE4 2 Supported. And I have not had any CtDs or black screen issues, since the update. So...)

Looking forward to seeing the entities. But, yeah. Not entering myself. (My cane really does not fit in well with her look, lol.) Really hoping to see someone do that 5th look though. Good luck to all who do enter!

They are aware of the lighting issues some people are having. They are looking into it and trying to find the cause and fix it. So, please just give them time to figure out why it affects some people, and not others, and get a hotfix for it pushed out.

Don't throw the flares. Hold one, use it to hold the pack off, and back up to a wall or rock formation so they can't flank you.

I can't relate, since I am not having this issue. Might be because of my desktop build, I kinda own an "almost NASA rig" now. And I am not setting up my old toaster just to check it out on an older rig. Started a Survival Mode test run, to test a few things that people have been saying about odd hostile wildlife behavior, and lighting issues in Survival Mode and Wintermute. Started in Mystery Lake, and searched out wolves and places that "should" have dark corners or interiors. As far as lighting goes, these shots were taken with the sun on the half-circle dial at 80% down. The lighting is exactly what I would expect at this time of day (late afternoon/early evening). But, again- it may have to do with my new rig and my new monitor, and the color, brightness and gamma calibrations on the monitor itself.

If I recall, the OP had a thread a while back asking for help, saying they were unable to complete the Old Bear Quest in Redux Ep 2. I think they are trying to equate the encounters with Timbers to multiple Boss Fights, while I would consider them mob fights, or maybe Hero mobs. (Yes, I tend to think in terms of aRPG hack & slash games.) @Dougie

True. I have seen a few threads (here o and on Steam) where people reported no music, or no voices, and then found that their settings for one, the other, or both had been set to 0 when they installed the update. Mine didn't, but it may be affecting only some people, or people with certain HW/SW configurations, like the crashes for people playing on older rigs with no CPU SSE4 support.

Been a few reports of it on the Steam forums, one person saying the hotkey does not work to drop bait, but dropping from the radial works, And a few threads where people are saying the wolves seem to "teleport" to the decoy, or are taking it while they are a distance away from it. I have not tested it yet myself, and have not had a chance to run a deer into a wolf in my new Survival game I started for testing purposes today. If it feels like a bug @jhickie, report it on the Support Portal. It sure sounds like one to me.

Please do! That is one gorgeous image.

And this is not entirely true. Sprinting, or carrying a lit lantern, flare or torch do raise your Feels Like temperature, but only by a few degrees.

There are other bedrolls to be found in Story Mode, if you explore and look for them.

You should be carrying you bedroll with you, in case you get stuck out in a blizzard. Your original post sounded like you were asking about Survival mode, not Wintermute Episode 3. Wintermute uses similar mechanics to Survival Mode, but is not exactly the same. But in both Modes (and in Challenge Modes as well), one of the first things people will tell you is to always carry your bedroll with you, as soon as you find it. Especially if you are traveling far away from where you are living. In Wintermute you can create manual save points, and the game will create save points with checkpoints and autosave. You can choose the "Load" option on the menu to load up an earlier save in Wintermute, and go back a bit, pick up your bedroll instead of leaving it behind on the floor. (You cannot do this in Survival mode or any of the Challenge Modes, they are both permadeath.) Then go find the remaining survivors, once you have your bedroll with you. And you are free to your opinion about the mechanics being flawed, but they have always been this way, and millions of people who own and play the game have learned to use them, and do just fine.

You can also sleep in trucks or cars, front or back seat- no bedroll needed. You still need to hit the bedroll icon on the radial menu to open the Sleep/Pause menu, but you don;t actually need to have a bedoll in inventory. (meaning you can sleep in the PV big Barn, in the truck without a bedroll). I have never tried sleeping in one of the tractors, so not sure if it works in those vehicles or not. And you can sleep in a snow shelter without a bedroll, same way as you sleep in a car without one.
