Wolf Quest Game


The free game features Amethyst Mountain, the first level of the game where you can explore Yellowstone's wilderness, hunt elk, communicate with other wolves, and find a mate.
PURCHASE THE FULL GAME TO UNLOCK THE COMPLETE SIMULATOR!
The full game features the Slough Creek map where you find a den, establish a territory, and raise pups. It also includes co-op multiplayer and an additional map, Lost River. Extra wolf customizations are also available as additional in-app purchases.
RECOMMENDED DEVICES:
The game requires a Android phone or tablet with a fairly powerful graphics card -- AND AT LEAST 1.5GB of RAM. (Some devices with 1 GB can run the game, but not all of them, unfortunately.) Note that on some low-power graphics cards, the terrain is pixellated in certain areas, due to their limited power.
EMBARK ON A QUEST FOR SURVIVAL!
Your quest begins on the slopes of Amethyst Mountain and eventually takes you across the Lamar Valley to Slough Creek. There, you and your mate will establish a territory and raise a litter of pups: training them, feeding them, defending them against predators, and finally taking them on a cross-country journey to a summer home. Ultimately, your success will depend on your ability to ensure the survival of your pack.
PLAY ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS!
In single-player games, learn how to hunt elk, communicate with other wolves, find a mate, establish a den and territory, raise pups, and embark on a perilous journey to a summering site.
In multiplayer games, explore the wilderness and hunt elk together, and now raise pups together! This new version features the entire Slough Creek mission arc, from choosing a den to raising pups and traveling to the rendezvous site. There are two types of multiplayer games:
* Private games: Invite-only, featuring voice, text, and phrase chat.
* Public games: Anyone can join, phrase chat or (for players age 13 and up) text chat.

Check your graphics card:

WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition is a modern game with beautiful graphics depicting the Yellowstone wilderness. Because of this, it does require much more graphical power than previous versions of the game.

Go to this website and search the page to see the score for any particular graphics card:

  • Score above 8000: high graphics quality settings at 40-60 FPS or better.
  • Score 4000 to 8000: medium quality settings at 30-50 FPS.
  • Score 2000 and 4000: lower graphics quality levels at 30-40 FPS.
  • Score 1000-2000: low quality levels, possibly using 'Basic' graphics which lack some of the fancy effects like snow on trees.
  • Score under 1000: the game may not run at all, or only at the lowest graphics quality with reduced screen resolution.

This devblog video: WolfQuest, Graphics Cards, and You discusses the game's graphics and hardware requirements in more detail.

Be sure to update your graphics card drivers if you have any problems running the game!

Check Your RAM Memory

8GB recommended. More is always better and you are likely to see notable improvements with 16GB of RAM.

With lower RAM you need to run on the lower texture quality settings and performance may suffer.

Check Your Graphics Card Mode

Occasionally, computers may default to the weaker integrated graphics card instead of using the more powerful dedicated graphics card (when one is installed). To check this on computers with Nvideo GPUs:

  1. Open the Nvidia Control Panel (right mouse button on desktop)
  2. Go to 'Manage 3D settings'
  3. Set the Power Management Mode to Maximum Performance

If Game or Game Launcher Crashes:

If the game or WQ launcher crash and won't run subsequently, here are some things to try:

  • Anti-virus software: Try disabling it, run the launcher, and then re-enable it. (If this works, then add the game app to your anti-virus software's whitelist / approved list.)
  • Firewall / deep packet inspection: Try changing the rules or disabling it.
  • Windows user permissions. Try this: Right-click on the game app icon and choose 'Run as Administrator' in the contextual menu that pops up. This may only be necessary the first time, but try it again if the game crashes on subsequent launches.

  • Some players have reported that WolfQuest AE is not compatible with MSI Afterburner. If you have that software, please try disabling it when playing the game.

  • The Steam Overlay is also known, in rare cases, to cause games to crash, so try disabling it.

Improving Performance (FPS)

FPS (Frames Per Second) will determine how smoothly the game runs.

  • Ideal Smooth Performance: 60 FPS (Frames Per Second)
  • Basic Smooth Performance: 30 FPS (Frames Per Second)
Experiment with the in-game graphics settings
  • Change the quality level (Fastest, Fast, Good, Beautiful, Fantastic, Gorgeous) until you achieve at least 30 FPS.
  • Then if you like, you can tweak the detail configuration options to fine tune (grass density, fur, shadows etc) for best balance of visual quality and performance.

See the devblog video WolfQuest, Graphics Cards, and You

Other tips to try to improve your frame rate:
  • Update your graphics drivers! (It's always good to keep them updated, and this has solved bad performance for many players.)
  • If you are using a laptop, make sure it is plugged in and using the 'High Performance' power plan.
  • Check your display resolution: Most dedicated graphics cards are designed for HD resolution (1920x1080). If you're running at a higher resolution, the graphics card has to draw many more pixels on each frame, which slows down the game dramatically.
  • If your laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card, try right-clicking on 'WolfQuest Anniversary Edition.exe' in this filepath: 'C:Program Files (x86)WolfQuest Anniversary Editionapp' and selecting 'Run with graphics processor', then 'High-Performance NVIDIA processor'.
  • Some Windows programs (firewalls, anti-virus and anti-malware programs) are overly cautious and block the game during launch (probably because the game tries to write to the hard drive, for saving games). Check those and add the game to the whitelist/allowed list. If the game is already listed, remove it and add it again.
  • Some players have reported that WolfQuest AE is not compatible with MSI Afterburner, so if you are having problems and have that, try disabling it.
  • If you have a dedicated graphics card, ensure that the game is using it and not the integrated card:
    • NVIDIA: Open the Nvidia Control Panel (by right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop and choosing Nvidia Control Panel from the menu). Navigate to 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings and then open Program Settings tab. Choose WolfQuest from the dropdown menu, then select the preferred graphics processor for this program from the second dropdown. Your Nvidia GPU should show as High performance Nvidia processor. Save your changes, and WolfQuet should now run with the dedicated Nvidia GPU.
    • AMD: Open Radeon Settings (by right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop and choosing Radeon Settings from the menu). Navigate to Preferences > Additional Settings > Power > Switchable Graphics Application Settings. Select WolfQuest from the list of applications. If it is not in the list, click the Add Application button and select the *.exe-file of the game from the game's installation directory. This adds the game to the list and you'll be able to select it afterwards. In the column Graphics Settings, assign the High Performance profile to the game. Finally, apply your changes. Your game should now run with the dedicated AMD GPU.

Can't Select Emotes on Emotes Panel

Wolf Quest Free Play Now

If you can open the Emotes panel by holding down the E key, but then your mouse won't move to select a particular emote, it may be due to your computer settings. Read this article for some tips to solve it.

Can't Save My Game

If you're unable to save games, your computer is probably preventing the game from writing to the disk drive. Check your anti-spam or anti-malware software and add the game to the whitelist or allowed list.

On some Windows computers, the game cannot save if the Save folder is open in Windows Explorer, so check that too.

No Audio from Game

If you don't hear any game audio (music and sound effects), first make sure your computer's speakers/volume is turned up. Then if still no audio, try this: Open Device Manager and uninstall the audio drivers, then reinstall them. This generally solves the problem
