PS Animal tracker unreliable

[Dead Smarty]

Made in-game bug report, when I tried to add screenshot game froze.

Animal indicators often don't show on map, compas or on the animal inspite of having the perk on 5. While crouching it often shows there should be something (not getting the message no tracks were found, indicator in left bottom turning green) but nowhere around you any indicator shows. Sometimes it only pops up after a few seconds when you nearly trip over the animal.

Do you have an attribute mod in your head gear?
If so remove it and check.

Also if you have it leveled up to view dogs. If near a poi, it will often turn green, but the dog
will not register on the screen because it has not been spawned yet, It is picking up the place
holder.

A last instance that I have seen, is if the timid is at the border of the pick up limit, then I have to
listen for the sound direction, and move about 20 to 30 paces, then it shows up on the map and
compass.

Thanks, will check with clean headgear next time I'm playing.
Behaviour sofar is unpredictable,. In the open or near POI's, couldn't realy see any logic in it.

There was a bug with the mod in the headgear, I had the same problem, that is the only
reason I knew about that.

Since my game play depends a lot on tracking, I kept watching how it functioned, Those are the
other two things I noticed so far, it's a great early warning to sleeper dog booby traps.

I removed the attribute mods and indeed, animals sowed up. After killing the chicken unfortunatly the rabit and bear were no longer visible on map or radar.
And my gyro wasn't visible on map anymore but that might have been caused by the crash that was caused by adding the screenshot to the bug report.

So Please TFP, fix the attribute mods. If they don't combine with perks in the vanilla game they are kind of worthless.

Re-installed mods an indeed. tracker stopped working. Removed 1 of the 2 and it worked again, then it failed again. Removed the 2nd and it is still very random...
