Patch v1.0.6m Released!
Patch v1.0.6m is now available for Windows and Mac.
[h3]IMPROVEMENTS:[/h3]
* Refactored scent system to make it more robust. This should reduce or eliminate bugs with disappearing scent tracks and pups leaving tracks when carried, along with improvements to how the scents are laid down when the animal makes sharp turns, and what happens when a pup enters and exits a den.
* Notably faster loading times when starting new game or loading saved game.
* Spring flood ponds in First Meadow retain their shapes when seen from far away.
* Better creek sound effects.
* Switched to new rocky-ground terrain texture in Amethyst with much better tiling.
* Improvements to terrain texturing in Amethyst and Slough Creek.
* Improvements to June elk calf limb movements when being carried.
* In Wolf Customization, the Coats panel is taller to show more rows, and clicking and scrolling is more intuitive.

BUGS FIXED:[/h3]
* When fleeing predators, elk should often pull their heads back, but don't. (This was in the game originally but broke at some point, probably a long time ago.)
* Predator music bugs (same clip plays repeatedly, wrong clip plays).
* Female wolf sometimes does not have pregnant belly in winter and early spring.
* Game accepts keyboard inputs when another app has focus. (Really fixed time!)
* Game sometimes pauses during courtship in Lost River.
* Quest music doesn't play reliably at start of each quest.
* Terrain switches back to previous season in certain situations.
* In Lost River, game sometimes pauses for some seconds during courtship.
* One stick rides too high in the pup's mouth.
* In multiplayer, buggy behavior after clicking Exit Game or Main Menu buttons.
* Lost River music keeps playing when returning to main menu.
* Wolf ears do not fold back when howling while lying down.
* Mate is unable to enter tree stump den.
* Pup carcass oddities when carried by parent.
* Some save game errors and failures.
* Pups won't exit tall grass if parent is inside as well.
* Pups will follow player far from the den or rendezvous site if trying to respond to a social emote.
* If terrain quality is low or very low, but Enhanced Sky & Vegetation mode is enabled, dirt dens do not have holes in ground.
* When adding a player to a pack, can't click OK button to continue adding more players but must click Done and then reopen Packs panel.
* In main menu, wolves in the My Wolves carousel are floating a bit off the ground.
* Map labels for two ponds are in wrong spot.
* Grizzly cub and elk calf can get stuck in turning animation.
* In very particular circumstances, a litter can have zero pups.
* Winter can rudely interrupt Endless Summer in Slough Creek.
* Fish sits a bit high in the mouth.
* Text edits and corrections.
* Terrain and water issues.
