Cows animations freeze at short distance from pasture

Post by foofarmer »

This is a fairly well known issue, I think. But I wanted to share some observations about this that might be helpful in tracking down the problem.

- PC/Mac/PS4/XB1: All
- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: All cow husbandry, including in-game
- Issue: Cow animations freeze at a short distance from the pasture
- Single- or Multiplayer: both
- Steps to reproduce: purchase and place any pasture, rotate it anywhere off of the default rotation, populate it with cows, back away from the pasture until the animations freeze.
- Does it happen on a standard map without mods yes/no: Yes
- Which vehicles & machines are involved: any cow pasture

Potentially helpful observations:

- The larger the navmesh, the shorter distance you can travel from the center of the placeable before the animations freeze. With a very small navmesh, you can travel a long way from the placeable before the animations freeze. With a large navmesh, the animations freeze until you are right next to the placeable.

- This only seems to happen with cows - or at least the problem is much worse with cows than any other husbandry

- The problem is not as bad if using the default rotation. If you rotate it anywhere off of default, the animations freeze at a much closer distance.
