PC PATCH 1.26
Hello hunters!
As you might know we reverted the PC Patch 1.25 and performed a rollback to patch 1.24 - since we thought this was the best solution to temporarily fix the issues with the callers not working as they should. But we have some good news, we now have patch 1.26 available for PC!
This patch includes the old fixes for patch 1.25 but also new additional updates/fixes. Please read the full patch notes below.
PATCH NOTES
Game improvements <*>Added wakes to Mallard Ducks when swimming
<*>Fixed issue that would make rare Mallard Duck variations appear too often
<*>Adjusted amount of Mallard Ducks that gather at the same area on the same lake
<*>Fixed issue with Mallard Ducks circling in air
<*>Expanded the total size of the mallard need zones - mallards will land, rest, and feed at more areas throughout the reserve

If you have bought this shotgun previously but do not own the DLC, the weapon will disappear from your inventory.

For example, a player could harvest an animal while dismantling a decoy.

[ROLLBACK] - PC Patch 1.25
Hello Hunters!
As many of you know we are currently experiencing issues with callers not working as they should. Our original goal was to have this hotfixed yesterday/today, but after we’ve dug into the issue further we aren’t able to reach that deadline without the potential to introduce further problems. It’s great to react fast when possible, but reacting fast is always very risky as it comes at the expense of proper testing. With this in mind we will performing a rollback to Patch 1.24. This means all patch 1.25 changes will be reverted, but will be reintroduced again, without the caller issues, at a later date (next week).
We felt this was the best solution so you could all enjoy the game over the weekend to the best quality. Unfortunately a few issues with the ducks that were fixed with 1.25 will be back, but in return calling now works in every reserve for every animal, as it should. We felt this was a smart exchange. This rollback will happen within the next hour or so, you should see an update in Steam as normal.
Wait for more news next week when we post the improved version of 1.25, this time with calling! ;)
Thanks!

CALLER ISSUE - Update
Hello Hunters!
We communicated yesterday that we intended to perform a hotfix today to rectify the current issues with callers. It will in fact need a little more time than forseen to ensure that our fix works correctly, so therefore the release has been pushed back slightly.
Current goal is that we get this update to you tomorrow. If for any reason this is not possible then we will rollback our earlier patch so that you can have full functionality of callers whilst we work on a permanent solution.
Thanks for your patience!
