Some things you can test, to trouble shoot.
1 Select the option under entities near upper right side. For respawn frequency move it to the very fast.
Do the same thing on the left to the animals.
2 as soon as you click the start at that menu, hit f1 and watch as the game is loading, look and see if you
see a red line. If so let it complete log off got to user appdata low the funpimps player log, open it in an editor
and do a search for .xml. If the redline is entitiesclasses.xml or spawning.xml or entitygroups.xml those are the main
ones that could prevent spawning.
3 If it is the usual yellow warning stuff alone. Then more than likely it is the respawn setting is set too slow, and it is
taking time to spawn.
4 If no error the next thing to do is turn up respawn speed , and go at least 600 meters away to see if it activates it,
staying in the same regional area, with a slow respawn number, the default is just under 3 days. It would take a long
time to see any activity, if you are not moving larger distances.
