WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition is an ecological simulation where you get to experience what a wolf would naturally do in the wild. A new public beta patch is available that incorporates several smaller patches - bringing improvements and some needed bug fixes to the game.
Improvements
Have you ever encountered a situation where you’ve exited the wolf modifying screen by accident? Well, this is less likely to happen now as a confirmation message will pop up when you leave the wolf creation panel with unsaved changes.
Another major improvement is that the howling time required for you to place a carcass marker is reduced. This is to avoid the problem of placing markers when using wolves with long howls if you did not let the howl animation finish.
Anyway, a new column in the multiplayer lobby is now available that tells you if the room is a private game or not.
