• Fixed an issue where correct weather settings didn’t load properly when player traveled to the reserve
  
• Fixed an issue where correct weather settings didn’t load properly after changing time in the reserve
  
• Fixed an issue where changing time in reserve causes short lag spike
  
• Fixed an issue where wooden target button removed the target in shooting range
  
• Fixed an issue where a scope placed on .303 British wasn’t correctly centered on the gun when using left hand as a primary hand
  
• Fixed an issue where deer species’ run animation speed was too slow
  
• Fixed an issue where deers’ hurt walk animation didn’t loop
  
• Fixed an issue where red deers’ rare fur trophy images didn’t show in the harvest screen
