I am not sure with new sandboxes. But recently I returned to one of my old sandbox, which I have not touched during the event. And voila, I found one ketchup chips bag in Quonset.

I would like not only the music, but old intro back. But I am fine with new ones as well. For the music: I mute it in game. I need to hear everything in game, wolves are around. But in the menus, I like it.

I hope it does not have tears of despair flavour.

I have returned to my Astrid who lives in Great Bear for almost 300 days. What a surprise when she found a ketchup chips. Now when Winter Embrace is already finished? She started a long time before this event started.

Sorry to hear that. It makes my 6 day waiting nothing in comparison. But hey, at least you are not trapped by aurora in tha mine at Coastal Highway. Any chance you will be selling potable water in Bleak Inlet? My character is going to hange around in few days.

I think the door code is neccessary to trigger aurora. You need to retrieve it first. Then you go to cannery. Aurora should happen. An beware, there are scripted timberwolfs as well.

I have registered this freeze long time ago. New sandbox does not have that. But when you gather some items, harvest few hundreds of meat stored outside, it will start. Hinterland tried to address that few weeks ago. But the fix was immediatelly followed by backout, which removed the fix for that. The fix caused inability to save at all for some players.

I noticed it as well. Its been like that since the Crossroad Elegy was introduced. I think it is desired functionality. Not sure what is the source of light. Could it be something like rotten wood is glowin g in the dark?

I agree. @ManicManiac it was nice thread and nice sharing. I think this forum gave the event new flavour. I dont know if it is ketchup flavour or maple syrup topping.

Although my Astrid did not found the golden nectar in required quantity even though she called Will and some her cousins, I enjoyed the event. The main plus for me was the weather. I am mostly voyager and the fact that entering building does not stop freezing was unusual for me and welcomed change.

I think I got it. Checked a little on internet (I did not know, some people discuss the game even on steam servers). I have done following and I dont know which action fixed the microstutter: disabled steam overlay disabled the Windows game bar (I had it ON because I needed some videos for reporting a problem) Switched PhysX in nVidia panel to GPU. It was automatic. Now I performed some tests and on places, where I could observe the microstutter, there was smooth flow. After that I switched the game from normal to ultra again. Performed the very same tests and voila, smooth again.

Something is going on. As I wrote somewhere else. I was in BI on the monkey path. This should be safe right? If you remember the path, there is a place after you pass the gate. I mean the place with lot of beams you have to shimmy your way. When I passed it, there is jump onto the trailer. I turned back and saw a timberwolf on the path from the gate to the shimmy roof. Lucky me, the wolf did not followed me through beams. Maybe revolver shot discouraged it. Thats why I dont have screenshot. I pulled the trigger on revolver instead of camera. Another weird was later on the monkey trail. When you pass the crane, there is big engine or something on the ground. I was standing on the floor. Ground is 3m bellow me, the top of the engine is about 1m below me, slightly in front. Wolf was running towards me and the engine. Suddenly it was on the top of the freacking engine. Again no screenshot, but underpant change. This clipping together with better path finding can be deadly.

I was in the fishing cabin and wolf was outside. Sudenly there was a wolf nose through wall. I thouhgt "If wolf can cheat through walls, I can cheat and shoot it". And I shot him to the nose. There was blood on the ground and lately I found a wolf steaks. But I did not encounter wolf fully in the fishing cabin.

Hi anybody with same problem? I have Win10x64, 16GBRAM, Nvidia 2070, game located on SSD drive. I do have one 4K display. It is not directly supported by the g-sync, but it can be enabled. Nowadays I do have problems with microstutters. They happen randomly or I did not revealed the reason yet. For example I am searching a house. The ground floor OK no microstutters. Went upstairs and suddenly microstutters. Went out of the building, again OK. Walking through the forest, again microstutters. After while again OK. I tried to lower graphics from the ultra to just high. But it still happens. Its driving me crazy because of these I got motion sickness sometimes. Game is freshly reinstalled and my drivers are latest. Any clue what to check?

Astrid is now desperate. She called all her friends and family. Gues what? Nobody was able to find a single bottle of maple syrup. @Screenshot Pilgrim can you get message to Prison bus guy? "Can we meet and plan robbery of the Canadian national treasure? As written somewhere else, there are tons of maple syrup in there."

@Screenshot Pilgrim Hi there. My Astrid was sleeping right in front of the workshops door. She heard some shots from inside, but she was too sleepy to get up and investigate. Now the door is locked again. Pity you did not leave them open.

Astrid now called Will. He came and is now searching for the good celebrationary golden drink in the Coastal Highway. He spent a day and half searching whole area. You know how many syrup he found? And there are just few houses he did not visit. Well tommorow he will go to the Desolation point to see if whale fishermen left some behind.

It is true. Astrid found ropes just when she needed them. Ravine had one on the spot and there was a rope hanging on Pensive Lookout. She is now in peace with the fact she will not gather all the maple syrup. She will not call Will. Now she breaks crates in the Bleak Inlet and then bee line to the Desolation Point. I must say, it was very funny chalenge. Even though I will not manage to gather all the syrup. I like the weather. Unfortunatelly I think the hunt for syrups made my run not suitable for long term survival. Astrid did not gather shot cartridges casings. She was wasting resources here and there. But anyway I will continue with it after the chalenge ends. Just to see.

I am male and I like Astrid's voice more than Will's.

My Astrid is now in the cannery. She recovered from first wolf swarm attack. She got the code. She killed at least six of grey death in the cannery. One thing surprised her. She thought the grey wolfs which attacks in group, attacks only by nibbling. Suddenly she was in strugle. Now she waits for aurora to be able to enter the workshop. She is depressed now. This place and maybe Desolation Point are possible source of golden nectar. She did not get enough. Maybe she shall call her husband, well known pilot, to help her. BTW nasty anomaly (one may say a bug) appeared in Bleak Inlet. There is the monkey path to the workshop. Astrid thought she is safe up there. Suddenly one wolf was up on the roofs. She noticed there must be some gravity anomaly or something. Sometimes running wolfs were able to climb unbelievable heights. One wolf was running straight about 3m bellow Astrid. He should hit a boat engine or under the crane. Suddenly the wolf was on the engine and continued over some pole. Lucky the anomaly ended before he was able to reach same level as Astrid.

I wonder if the game could give special clothing in this spawn. You know, orange trousers, orange jacket with target on the back. 😁 Or maybe the guard uniform. So what was the cousin story? Inmate or driver?

My Astrid failed to understand the gravity of this event and she took a leave to spa. But now she is back. Broken Railroad was a bit disappoitment so she decided to head to Bleak Inlet directly. She went directly but a blizzard stopped her in the Ravine. Lucky her, she found a rope there and hapilly went down the the Bleak Inlet. She knew there are different wolves, vicious ones. But she had the revolver and no fear. She should train more. First encounter cost her dearly. She crawled to the radio hut in the BI almost dead. As consolation there was a book with guidance how to use revolver. Now she is reading it and licking her wounds. Some of those wolves were not so lucky though. Its been 25 days since she started this run. If there is no rope in the Pensive Lookout she will try to goat way down. The clock is ticking and much is at stake.

I cannot add anything to bow/rifle selection. I am pretty crap with bow. But about the mssoe bleeding. Recently I noticed a post here with video. The moose was hit several times with arrows. Then he went behind little hill. When the player looked behind the hill, the moose was dead. Just like that. without any additional shots. The topic was about not beeing able to retrieve bugged arrows. The video is (check the first minute):

Well I like the survival game wit all original features and purposes. But now, there is amusement / another purpose in the game. If it would be possible to gather 25 chips and 25 bottles of syrup in one run, I would try that sniffing over all maps. But according this forum plus the note from devs "you can try it as many times you want" it seems like we are encouraged to run at least one 25 days run and then run multiple runs with one purpose: To gather maple syrup. Plus there is new optional feature to gather telemetry from the game. With all devs kindness it is disabled by default and has to be enabled if one wants to contribute. Perhaps devs wants us to map players usual paths in regions. And I must add if it is the reason, I dont mind. My work for living is testing software. I can give you the data (and I have already enabled the option).

@ManicManiac Now she found a bottle 10% Syrup in the Hunting Lodge kitchen. She did not know if the 10% meant alcohol level because it was already fermented or it meant it is spoiled. She knew it will give her stomach ache for sure. So she tried to drink it bit by bit to see whether Great Bear big designer did not forget this in his scheme. It seems like he did not forget. Funny thing. She noticed 5 times from 10 she was getting food poison. But after some pills and good sleep, she is able to get out from the Hunting Lodge. The only meaningful place seems to be Bleak Inlet. The Forlong Muskeg could be good way. But it would mean she could not get access to workshop.
