Call of the Wild Update 1.2.3 Patch Notes
Improvements

- We gave the character customization feature a makeover to fix several issues and improve your overall experience.
- The Scavenger Hunt mission flow has been given a polished. Now you’ll be taken directly to the Journal to see the clues for the next step.
- Multiplayer sessions have been optimized! Now it will take less time for all players to show up in the game.
- The casting behavior has been adjusted, allowing for greater control over the range of your cast based on the speed and timing of your inputs.
Bug Fixes
Visual
- Torbjørn’s eyes between the time of 6-7 AM would glow bright yellow. Torbjørn has since visited the optician and had the necessary treatment.
- The clue for the second part of the Huldraskogen Scavenger Hunt was partially clipping into a wall. This item has now been repositioned to a safe space.
- In specific locations across Golden Ridge Reserve, the waves and foam on the water weren’t working as intended. This now has been fixed.
- Resolved a problem that saw the player’s rod remain present on screen when interacting with the shop or lookout towers.
- Changing from Low to Medium graphics preset would turn the rod & player invisible locally. This issue no longer occurs.
Gameplay
- It is no longer possible to collide with other vehicles when ghosted.
- We have adjusted the boat being docked on land at the Northern Båtutleie (Boat Hire) location at Stallojavri lake in Trollsporet Nature Reserve.
- The missing collision on the Huldra statue and a selection of rocks in Trollsporet Nature Reserve has been fixed.
UI
- Waypoint markers would now reappear correctly in Trollsporet Nature Reserve Fishing Challenges after fast traveling or reloading into the reserve.
- The arrows for rotating your character in customization when using a mouse now highlight and rotate the character as intended.
- The volume sliders now immediately adjust the audio levels rather than only after accepting the changes, making it much easier to set the right volume balance.
Progression
- Fishing Mission Challenge 13 has been fixed so that fish now spawn in the correct area, unblocking progress for this mission.
- It was possible to catch the wrong fish and successfully progress a number of the fishing challenges in Trollsporet Nature Reserve. This issue has been resolved.
Multiplayer
- Player’s floats in multiplayer now correctly sit on the water’s surface in all scenarios.
