WolfQuest 2.7.3 released, with moose!

Post by loboLoco » Mon Dec 19, 2016 12:18 pm

WolfQuest 2.7.3 released on all platforms, on December 19, 2016.

IMPORTANT: With the addition of moose, multiplayer is not backward-compatible, so make sure you get this update! It's automatic on Mac/Windows, but on mobile devices, you must go to the app store and download the new version.

NEW:
* Cow and bull moose added to all maps!
* Ten new achievements related to moose.
* Elk and moose antlers are accurate for each season.
* Special holiday decorations (only through late December)
* New idle behavior when wolf stands for awhile.
* Snowshoe hare has white coat in wintertime.
* Codename: MotL

FIXED:
* Bug that sometimes selects wrong time of day when starting Slough Creek games.
* Bug that occasionally forces player to regurgitate all food after eating.
* Bug that prevented "An Error of Judgement" achievement from unlocking.
* Bug that occasionally creates ghost games with non-host player after multiplayer game ends.
* Added security to prevent uninvited players from joining private games.

You're most likely to see moose at dawn and dusk, though even then it's not guaranteed. And moose are quite dangerous, so be careful! On Amethyst Mountain, keep an eye out for two bulls fighting each other.

The 'Rudolph bull' really adds to the touch - nice one!

I'm still struggling to find a moose, but I seem to have no luck yet... Any hints maybe?

They are more common at dawn & dusk, though not guaranteed to appear during those times. There are some spots on each map where they like to hang out, not sure if I can say more.

Moose graze in riparian areas (especially with willows), but if there are no such vegetation available, then they'll graze in the woods.

I'm not sure if I have the update. I opened up the launcher and it keeps saying that the patcher has failed. I can still play the game, but I don't see any of the new achievements or anything.

Open the Options panel (gear button in top-right) and click the Repair button. If that doesn't work, send the log files to install@wolfquest.org:
* On Windows, the game log is called "output_log" and it's in the "WolfQuest-Win_Data" folder. (Try searching your computer for "output_log" without the quotation marks.
* On Macs, search for the Console app, and open it. Then in the left sidebar, look for FILES/~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log. Open that log, and copy the entire log into the email.
