    World is a little inconsistent - disappearing enemies

    I'm playing on Xbox One - and I've noticed that when running away from the Udam out in the open world, luring them into an Ambush or hiding from them - sometimes they will simply disappear.

    This happened more than a couple of times and it's annoying because it breaks immersion and it ruins what would otherwise be some well thought out ambushes or intense chases or me hiding.

    I've also noticed sometimes freshly killed animals disappear.

    Also blood trails disappear far too quickly - especially if your on a prolonged hunt of a particularly swift animal especially like the mighty Stag!

    These inconsistencies breaks the immersion and hurts the experience. It's annoying because otherwise I'm having fantastic time with this game!

    Wondering whether this is just a temporary memory issue with the engine build. But never saw this happening on FARCRY4....

    Could it be fixed?

    Oh man - is this happening in anyone else's game?? It keeps happening.

    It's actually starting to affect my enjoyment of the game. I'm using the owl to tag enemy patrols out on the world and they will randomly disappear ...

    i have to say, this is not a solid polished build like Far Cry 4 was... Blimey you could tag an enemy in FC4 and he'd run off and he would stay tagged for miles. The world was rock solid like that.

    this game engine seems a bit jittery, unpolished? Not sure how common this problem is?

    I might try try deleting the game and re-installing it?

    The isssue I've had once or twice, is actually enemies APPEARING. I think this happened in one of the defend side quests, but definitely it happened at one of the outposts when they called for reinforcements.

    Here's an example -

    I'm flying over a small encampment with the owl (not an outpost tho), and see 2 Udam and a cage with a cave lion in it, I tag them. Then when I circle around a second time, the cage and cave lion and 2 Udam men has disappeared and now there is an Udam man with an arrow in his butt with a female Udam trying to help him. OK..... So... I tag them.
    I switch back to Takkar and now move closer to the small encampment only to find now there is no one there and they have both DISAPPEARED!!!

    This happens frequently enough to render the game unplayable and sap the enjoyment out of what would otherwise be highly enjoyable.


    I've re-installed the game, and have started the game from the beginning again (loosing 5hrs of gameplay time) in the hope that it might resolve these glitches.

    If it doesn't I don't know what to do - because these glitches are practically ruining the game for me.

    Regarding beast hunt glitches, if you fast travel away and back to the mission, the glitch should go away. As Ubi-Stature reported above, the team has been notified of dis/appearing NPCs and will look into it promptly.

    i hope it can be fixed - LOVE this game!! And this problem is taking a big dump on the experience!

    Just some more more details for the Dev's,

    1) this issue seems to be isolated to the open world only, and the way the engine spawns in random enemies in the world. NOT on actual missions.
    There are no disappearing enemies on MISSIONS or OUTPOSTS that I have noticed.
