Hello, my cow appears to be stuck next to the river in the woods west of trolls bane. It is not responding to my commands "follow me" and "stay". I am not sure if this should be posted here but can anyone help me.

try the german commands: "weiter" and "bleib stehen".

my "german cow" was stuck, and did not respond to the german commands.
when i tried the english commands it got unstuck.

your cow is lost, but the depot is safe, you got to rent another cow.

none of the commands are working. The cow does not respond at all, the depot does not appear when the cow is told to "stay".

just leave the cow, where it is, and go your ways.
the cow will disapear eventually.
then you go and rent another cow. and this second cow will have all your things in its depot.
but you loose the two silver deposit for the first cow.

It still has the items of the first cow? Thats a bug...

But i have now a hint as well why the cow problem happens. Maybe i can solve this right now.

EDIT: Found the bug indeed. But its difficult to fix. If i'm right the problem with the cow happens only right next to a unpassable but free tile. So water for example.

well, when i got the first cow, i experimented a little, to find out, if a cow could serve as comunal buildingmaterial-depot.
when one abandons a cow, loggs out, loggs in with another char, the second char does not find the items, the first char put in. if one changes in the same way back, the first char does not find the items, the second char put in, but he finds, what he himself put in.

when one of my chars abandoned the cow in the locked yard, and came back after about an hour, the cow was gone.
a new cow got everything in its depot, the vanished cow had.

if it is a bug, it is a friendly one...
