Clans of the Forest: stuck as a -paw after the warrior ceremony

Quick answer

Close the game completely and relaunch it, or reload your save: three players report that this puts you back into the warrior ceremony so you get your warrior name. Players say the bug follows tabbing out during the ceremony, and a screenshot can count as tabbing out, so stay in the game until it ends.

Replay the ceremony

Players report a bug in the warrior naming ceremony: you get the warrior rank, but your cat keeps its apprentice name ending in -paw.

Three players in two Steam threads fixed it the same way. One closed the game fully (they ended it in Task Manager) and relaunched, and the game put them back into the warrior ceremony. Another says restarting the game helped, and a third says reloading the save replays the naming ceremony.

  1. Quit the game completely. On PC, make sure it isn't still running in the background.
  2. Relaunch and load your save.
  3. The warrior ceremony should start again. Stay in the game window until you have your new name.

What causes it

Both posters who lost their name had left the game window during the ceremony: one alt-tabbed, and one took a screenshot, which the game treated as tabbing out. Neither the studio nor the publisher had acknowledged the bug in their Steam announcements by October 25.
