That looks exactly like where the video in the post I shared glitches to. 😕 Not familiar enough with Ash Canyon to know where "here" is from the picture. 😞 

If look closely at some of detail,you can find the roof of Angler's Den🧐

I only have one more in Ash Canyon left as well, but I'm pretty certain mine is on top of the cliffs that can only be reached by glitching. 😕

The Polaroid on cliffs has been fixed in v.1.94.

Now It's here

O my goodness, thank you so much.  For some reason that container didn't map when I was mapping that area and it's down in a dip that you can't see when walking through unless you get very close.  My collection is complete.  Did you add this location to the wiki?  If not, do you mind if I do?

Of couse not，please update it.

In v1.93, It can be reached in the standard game.

Yes, rely on bugs.

Update to my previous post; I did find the body on Marsh Ridge but alas he did not have the polaroid.  I am growing disheartened as I don't think I will be able to complete the collection.  I am continuing with mapping and painting POI's but with each one already searched and empty my hope fades.

Try this container and you will get the last one. It was on the hill behind Old Spence Famliy Homestead. 

It was one of the hardest to found, compare to Fallen Lighthouse in BI(you already found) and unreachable center plateau in AC.

Hi @dissonance. Sorry to hear that you're having this issue.

Our forums aren't where we focus on for Support issues. Instead are you able to send us this information at thelongdark.com/support so that we can properly diagnose what's happening and work with you to identify the issue?

Thanks!

I've reported it and attached the link  of this thread, but so far there's only one auto reply email.

Since v0.393,I was discovering and submitting many bugs,Some of them have been fixed, but some still exist today.

Such as my last topic

Cancel button bug was still worked in v1.93.

dissonance,

I have just tried making a fire bridge in same spot as you and failed.  I was unable to build a fire upon another fire. 

Are you playing a standard game or are you using a mod. that gives you abilities that are not available to straight players like me?

Yes,I play with a standard game.It still works in v1.93 Steam version（vedio 1).

This bug can creat campfire and snow shelter on almost anyplace and not consume any material.You can easily test it on ice (vedio 2).

About the problem unable to build a fire upon another fire,I will try to explain it in detail, but since I am not a native English speaker, it may not to be clearly.

The principle of this bug is saving when the red preview model is called out. Then quit and load the save,campfire/snow shelter will appear where the preview model was.The simplest way to save when the preview model is being called out is to be burned.Sprain can achieve the same effect, but the timing is not controllable.

If you use burned to achieve this bug，the saving time is when you end injured（The moment you get off the fire,not upon).You must ensure preview model on right place while saving, campfire can only be build on another campfire's cooking slot(two biggest stones on the model).If you want to build an angled bridge,the first campfire should be angled,stone cache or rocks can help you adjust.But once the first campfire was built, it's hard to change the angle of the bridge halfway though.

I guess HTL's original route to this area was the leaning tree which opposite the cliff.That tree has no roots and its angle is so suspicious.Because of unknown reasons, the tree has not been completely down, cause the area is currently unable to enter.

I did not know that was possible to use campfires to bridge a gap.     It was unusual for the polaroid to be placed there.  I would not be surprised if that was because of RNG.  Probably not the first oversight by Hinterland. 

The bug needs to be reported.  The devs may find out now because it was posted, but that is not certain and maybe not quick.

I reported it a week ago，but there is no reply so far.

Yesterday I got this Polaroid with a new bug, much faster than campfire, that's funny.

This must be a bug，so I got it with another bug.

Can they be fixed in next update?

I also encountered the wall of snow in the Timberwolf Mountain summit cave.  I hadn't been there since Polaroids were introduced so I didn't think about one being there.  A corpse must be behind the wall of snow because crows are circling above.

I found a Polaroid, not too far from Eric's Falls.

In this save polaroids must spawn as pattern 1,you can find another in the backpack as the video.

Other locations of this pattern

ML- Cave on Lake Overlook / Corpse northwest of Clearcut

CH- A backpack behind the Cabin which northwest of Tooth

PV- The cockpit of the aircraft wreckage

FM- Low Blind / A briefcase in the Bunkhouses

MT- Rock Refuge

HRV- A metal container near landslide

BI- A Hunter's Blind west of Washed Out Trailers

In 1.78,I think I found all the Polaroids spawn locations.Except the bug photo in Riken(has been fixed in 1.79),Is only 4 spawn patterns 11 locations each, for a total of 44 locations.

But in 1.79, the cave on Summit was blocked by snow so you can't get the Polaroid in the plastic container. And the metal container in the wrecked house near the Prepper's Abandoned Cache also never has Polaroid inside anymore.

Is this a bug? Or Hinterland put them somewhere else?

The new save I created in 1.79, mode Winter's Embrace.

When locations discovered was 276, the world explored already 100%.

I'm curious: How did you add that button overlay to the screen? Is that part of some video streaming/recording software?

Is a software named 'NohBoard'. Recording software is OBS.

This is a great bug report! If you can, make separate reports on https://hinterlandgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us for all of them and provide a link to this thread, so Hinterland can see your videos.

Thanks,  I missed that I could have just posted the link.

Nice to report, your videos are very explicit 👍

I a not worried by exploits though. Since this is not a multigamer game, you only ruin your own game by using them.

There is room for wildlife behavior for sure, yet, algorithms have their limits and there's always a way to derail them.

At some point, whether you go for a physical model FPS fight style, or you rely upon probabilty a wolf will catch you when close enough. My guess is that the lack of ability for the wolf to catch you should be adressed with probability.

 

Yes,I agree.

These bugs weren't serious enough to crash the game,So they'll have a lower priority to fix.

But with these bugs fixed, this game will be better😄

Perfectly clear report, to my opinion.
I can confirm the "understeer" bug, having played "catch me if you can" with a running moose around a tree.

I'm not sure to understand your question, but if you're asking if anybody can share it with Hinterland, if think @Admin can take the actions required.

by the way, I like the Chinese interface for the skills, as shown in the first video. I may give it a try even if I can't read it 😃

Thanks for the mention.

@Admin   I don't know if they can see it.

The Chinese version of this game has some translation problems.

Such as Log Sort in CH,It's been translated into 湖边小镇，which means town of lakeside😂

I was curious, so I tried the cancel-button bug for research on a new sandbox. I leveled up my Rifle firearm(I found guns guns guns!) to 2 normally, and then tried the bug with the Frontier shooting guide. It didn't work. The book disappeared, and my research level did not change (book reappears when entering the building or quitting/reloading after sleep).

Ice fishing worked at level 1.
Archery worked at level 1.

My curiosity was sated. I just thought I'd chime in with my experience.
 

Test for level 2 Rifle firearm,It worked this time.

I don't know if it will work stable in all situations, after all it is a bug.

7.Never Freeze

The Ravaged Wolf Carcass spawned by the system won't freeze until you investigate it.

1.Time Magic

Wildlife no longer accelerating during accelerated time.

2.Understeer

Predators don't have the flexibility to steer even at a low speeds.

3.Cancel Button

This mysterious button gives you fast upgrades, unlimited energy, and unlimited recovery.

4.Recycled Cat Tail Stalk

Throw cat tail stalk on the ground and pick them up again, and the calorie count will return to 150.

5.Unlimited Matches

No.-1, lighting only.

6.Carcass Harvesting Rapid Upgrade

The skill proficiency calculation for carcass harvesting is buggy.

ML FM TWM, two vistas each. CH PV MT HRV BI, one vista each.

Total 11 vistas Corresponding to 11/11.

None for BR and DP or just not found.

 

So far, I've only found 11 types of Polaroid.

Maybe the 11/11 in the journal means find all of them?

Forestry Lookout

Lake Overlook

Abandoned Lookout

Signal Hill

Summit

Andre's Peak

Shortwave Tower

Muskeg Overlook

Radio Tower

Pensive Vista

Echo One Radio Tower

The photos found in Quonset and Riken(both indoor) were exactly duplicated.

ML/TWM/FM each have two kinds of photos,but in DP/BR I found nothing but confuse.

Did anyone find any pictures in the DP or BR?

My underwear would have problems after that, too!  Nice job.

Why build the rock cache at the end?  Just curious.

Just to prove the game version.

I hope Hinterland can make bear smarter in the next release.

Bear's AI has some problems.

Let's start an official thread to track where we've found them.  Please post the zone and the actual location as a spoiler tag.  BTW, has anyone found one in PV yet?  I swear I've searched the whole zone and haven't found it.

PV：

Burned Ridge Cave,under a backpack. 

Aircraft Wreckage,near cockpit. 

Broken House,beside the Abandone Cahe.

I can't found any photos in CH/DP/BR,except in Quonset and Riken. 

This is weird.
