Hello @SpirantCrayon22 and @azullFR , thanks for confirming.
Please also make sure that your latest saves are uploaded to the cloud so we can reopen the investigation.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
@ubi-oxavo
after a one month pause I just re-played today with the new 1.5.1 TU :
I noticed this :
Odin sight seem to see some meter longer than before (or maybe it's just because I didn't openned Valhalla duriing one month)
at some places you can't see ennemies through rocks or relief ( wolves east of Ravensthorpe, on the hill )
at some places you can see ennemies through rocks or relief ( bear and wolves in East-Anglia )
All bandits are unvisible while they are in the bushes ( Odin's sight not so Odin ... or not so sight )
This happened just near the Forest hideout in East-Anglia :
seeing Bears and bandits some meters from me in plain sight (no songle obstacle) I used the Odin sight :
Found a trapped wolf that Odin couldn't highlight in white ... I went with it some 50 to 100 meter away ... came back to the bush ... and found a second trapped wolf that I could highlight in white while my first wolf was still not able to be highlighted (I didn' freed it as this should crash the game after 2 or 5 minutes, tested and verifyed several times some months ago)
My manual cloud save is in the Cloud ( I always make a Manual Cloud save each time I play Valhalla )
@azullfr
weird, this one; I find targets do not glow red but others usually do - though not always and there's no pattern that I can see so I might (if I remember) try to be systematic like your comments
@spirantcrayon22
it's quite easy for me to be systematic : I have the same routines for months ( except last one ) :
I'm only doing the exact same Redas' quests twice a day and sometime some XP farming at the same few places on my 2 accounts : so I can easily see which scripts are redundant, which one are, or can be server related.
(example 1 :
in my 2 accounts I can find a trapped wolf in the exact same bush the exact same "server day" aka "Reda's day", the color of the wolves can be different but they always spawn at the exact sames bushes in the 2 accounts, and I started the 2nd accounts at lot of days after the 1rst one, that's why I think trapped wolves are somehow "server timed event" or "date and time related" events )
(example 2 :
I've just done the "Tomb robbers" ("Tomb Raiders" ?) daily quest for the 2nd time = nearly same results concerning Odin's signt in this area
Noticable difference due to the "GPS coordinates of the robber" = 2nd account : he was insinde the "Forest hideout"
>> @ 40 meters away from the target while Eivor being inside the camp = little cyan target glow with Odin's sight + No single quest marker in the HUD
>> @ 6 meters away from the target while Eivor being inside the camp = little Red Odin's sight light + marker on the HUD
... where was Odin ? .. where was my sight ?
[EDIT] : I've just realized that I never tested if using "mediation time swap" could change the trapped wolves behaviour ... but I wouldn't want to steal Ubi's job
yes, as @azullFR suggests, the wolves just north-east of Ravensthorpe do not appear through rocks when Eagle Vision is used; they do highlight in line-of-sight, though
actually not sure any wolves highlight through objects, seeing it elsewhere now that I've started looking
@Ubi-Oxavo
@spirantcrayon22
after some few tests (results may be different in different places, which is not helpull to do Ubi's job = giving us accurate infos) :
( targets marked (pinned) with Synin for knowing the distance)
(Transparency = red light visible through ...)
Note : when red light is visible through Eivor, it seems that the red light can be seen though everything = "Full Transparency"
Odin's sight radius // "Transparency" // visible distance of Red light =
!!! once highlighted and marked (pinned) with Synin the wolves could be visible red highlighted up to 66 meters, sometimes only 63 meters, then they simply visually vanished from the video card = only the Synin marker was visible, showing and following the wolf's path, but no single wolf visible 67 meters, highlighted or not (I suspect that this specific behaviour can vary from place to place, from the place where Eivor stands to another one, some meters on the left or on the right (aka : Eivors' GPS coordinates in the scenery) and, maybe, from video card to video card)
Note about trapped wolves : I previously said they were a kind of server event (Same bush during same "Reda's day"), in fact I may be wrong, today I had one in a bush in an account but none in this bush in the other account (4 hours delay between the 2 tests, but I also had some "fake Ubi disconnection" that won't help to 100% reproduce this behaviour ...)

Hello there @azullFR & @SpirantCrayon22!
Thank you for sharing some updates within this thread of additional testing you've carried out with hostile NPCs following TU 1.5.1. I'd just like to clarify the findings of @azullFR before we pass these along to the dedicated teams, as you've discovered quite a bit!
If I've misunderstood any of the details you've shared, please don't hesitate to correct me, as this will ensure the dedicated teams get the report you'd like to share
I can see you've provided more precise details, which I greatly appreciate! I wanted to provide a brief summary of your reports for clarity, but rest assured your full reports would be forwarded.
It would be helpful to have some additional videos demonstrating these issues as experienced in TU 1.5.1. Would either of you be able to provide us with some updated videos? In particular, it would be helpful to see the following:
@SpirantCrayon22 - It looks like the videos you uploaded previously have expired. Is there any chance you can re-share these so we can ensure that they're included in this report?
Thanks!

I am a bit lost as to why those clips aren't there, I haven't deleted them, the Xbox has done that by itself, it seems. I might well get in touch with them about that. Forza Horizon 2 keeps recording clips but I thought the box asked before deleting anything if storage became an issue. Also it's older clips that are still there, the newer ones aren't. Weird.
From here all I can do is record something new as and when I notice it.
My main observations
targets of contracts from Reda (and, I think, any other mission) do not glow red
wolves do not glow red through rock but do in line of sight
Some Svartalfheim enemies do not show through rock but do in line of sight
@ubi-borealis
Hello there,
what you understood is perfectly correct, I will just make a kind of "warning" (sorry it's not the best word but I don't remember the good one... even in French !) about what I said :
When using Odin's Sight in TU 1.5.1, it seems to detect enemies that are further away than before.
in fact, after verification, I'm not 100% sure, I may have been "fooled" by the detection distance that is different between humans and animals
All the other points are corrects (and have been verifyed since my previous post)
I would be glad to share some videos, but this will take way too much hours (may be up to 12 hours ...), so I can't promise I will, but for sure I will try to send some screenshots, separating cases post by post
@ubi-borealis
Screenshots only for documenting :
Animals are invisible (while being red-highlighted) behind :
[Screenshots below]
spoiler
These are just 9 screenshots for the simpliest thing (technical data are a simple copy/paste from a textfile made on purpose, so it takes 1 second) = I didn't documented the distances of highlight, disapearance, etc. .... nearly 30 minutes...
Very rare issue :
First Trapped wolf not white-highlighted // 2nd "replacing" Trapped wolf correctly white-highlighted
!!! WARNING TO EVERYBODY !!! = last times I freed the 2nd wolf = the game fully crashed after : from 30s to 3 minutes ! (tests were done before TU 1.5.0, I won't try again !)
For technical datas and TU : see my previous post
[Screenshots below]
spoiler
that's all for the moment, need to play a little
Issue :
Embushed bandits Team not glowing while in bushes
Common ? = yes (I suspect that it is fully intended but as never been told by the dev team)
Reproductible ? = yes, easy, very easy
Place related ? = no, any embush in any bush will do the same
Tech data & TU = see one of my previous post in this thread
Pictures =
[Screenshots below]
spoiler
issue :
wolves detection distance
may vary depending on the video card ? (I'm not rich enought to test them all) :
my tech data & TU = see in one of my previous post in this thread
reproductible ? = on PS4 pro = easy, very easy
Place related ? = No (some distances may vary a little, but a very little...)

[EDIT] : just made a new test at the exact same place with the exact same PS4 pro and with my 2 accounts = for both accounts : new wolf red highlightable distance = 45 m
issue :
wolves 3D datas disappearance
may vary depending on the video card ? (I'm not rich enought to test them all) :
my tech data & TU = see in one of my previous post in this thread
reproductible ? = on PS4 pro = easy, very easy
Place related ? = No (some distances may vary a little, but a very little...)
