Im getting it all the time now....had your bear instance 3 times today while goofing around with the new challenge and then the normal wolves seemed to do it once every run once I got out of BI.

Yeah I got another instance of submarine bear while crossing the unnamed pond in ML. Support replied to my request stating they're aware of the issue and working on it.

Anyway, I now got myself stuck in terrain above the crash site in PV, and sprained an ankle and a wrist trying to get out of an otherwise perfectly safe looking pathway... 😓

@wizard03 That's exactly what I experienced. I guess it won't be easily fixed though, as this bug occurence is quite rare.

Yeah I've that case of 'still running' wolves, kinda funny as it reminds the old cartoons 😉

Anyway, one must be prepared to run anytime until this bug is properly fixed, as danger can hide literally *everywhere*.

Hello there !

I've started playing the Long Dark early December, first in story mode then in survival mode after finishing episode three a dozen days ago.

The game is really enjoyable, but despite some hotfixes following 1.64 release, I still encountered many cases of carcasses "sunk" into ice after entering a building.

That wasn't much of a concern until today, 86th day  of my experience on voyageur difficulty. After several days in Bleak Inlet, expecting an Aurora night I was leaving the Cannery workers residences at sunset on my way to the factory, crossing directly through the ice, when I crossed path with a living bear that was actually walking under the ice, thus invisible and unaudible until it switched to attack mode.

I first heard it, then saw its head popping out of the ice, I was about to take a screenshot since I thought it was stuck in the terrain but to my horrifying surprise (not exaggerating) its body then popped out of the ice entirely. Too late to run away, I got hammered by the beast then patched myself up when I noticed the bear was coming back for a second strike. That's when the panic really kicked in and my little finger hit the crouch key (ctrl) instead of the run one (shift), and I got wasted a second time in a row. I miraculously survived the second attack, but lost rabbitskin hat and gloves and a pair of ear wraps, and the rest of my outer layer clothes got seriously damaged.

I'm filing a bug report to Hinterland support, but I guess there's no way to revert back to a previous save given the game mechanics ?

Anyway, it's not the first time I hear a bear or a lone wolf about to attack without being able to locate it, I generally didn't push my luck too far and ran away rather than going around rocks or hills to actually see the threat, but I suspect it's a kind of the same bug, except today the bear was really under the ice, this time I saw it... and that's much more worrying than sinking carcasses.

Thanks for reading, I really needed to vent the pressure out 😅
