It’s that time of year again! When should the Rut take place this year?




The Rut will take place August 28 - September 12!

For the longest time, the forest gave a way to escape the breaking of relationships encountered in realms outside its lovely trees, wind, and waters. Fawns played and deer played and no one thought anything of changing deer groups. Sometimes a group would form and stay tightly knit for an extended period of time but others would come in and out and play. Always there were the pairings. Most respected that and left them be to whatever they chose at that moment. Most of the time any pain anyone experienced came from outside the forest and was brought in. Most tried to soothe it not ever asking what caused it or if the deer/fawn had caused it to self. The forest became the place to examine the pain, put it aside for a bit, and pick it back up when leaving. Deer would gather around a wounded one and give support and in the blogs would mention that which needed to be done. Never knowing what caused it but as in teaching so and so to fly. Include so and so in the next dance. Graveyard would let us know how bad it truly was and we would watch for that. The gravestone with the flies truly made the point. At some point, it is learned the gravestones truly were attached to early deer that went to the other endless forest in another realm that only has one gate which never lets you return. Once in a while, a new gravestone would appear. One has to ponder will the graveyard be much larger now or will we ever know. Some like to think the light that beams sometimes around one comes from the other endless forest or from those that do not return for what ever reason.

Please help. How do I return to normal size? :>

Hello! I'm new around here.

I tried the game out years ago when I was young, but didn't stick with it (sadly!) I gave it a go again recently with some friends and would like to keep checking in. However, I'm finding that the game is making my CPU much much hotter than I would expect and running at a very low framerate even with minimum graphics settings. I have an intel i5, nvdia gtx 1650, and 8 Gb of ram. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some comparability settings or other things I could tinker with outside of the in game options. I would have used the search function but unfortunately it seems to be not working right now.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Love from Pipis

EDIT:
For some reason I can't comment on this post... Here's what I was going to say:

Thanks for the advice, everyone! Seems to be running a little more stable now. I kind of figured it came down to optimization and not knowing what to do with newer hardware. I'm sure the Unreal version will run great and I hope to have the funds for decent donation soon
