Sons of the Forest: How to stop Virginia from escaping

Survival Horror fans around the world have been waiting for the sequel to the famous The Forest since its announcement in December 2019. Despite everything, the game lived up to all expectations thanks to an interesting story and commitment to realism. By now, most players may have encountered an unusual mutant named Virginia. But many players noticed that she seemed to disappear or run away from them for no particular reason. Let’s see how to stop Virginia from escaping in Sons of the Forest.

How to stop Virginia from escaping in SoTF

We’d like to start off by saying that Virginia running away from you even after you’ve befriended her isn’t uncommon. Even if she sometimes runs away, she will still be your companion when she returns. The main reason for her seemingly random runs is fear. Virginia is timid by nature and therefore runs away whenever she is afraid. Fear can be caused by taking damage in combat with cannibals. But fear can also be caused by players accidentally getting into Virginia. So keep her around and protect her if you don’t want her to rush onto the stage.

While there are in-game reasons behind her strange behavior, bugs are also a big reason for her strange sprints. A glitch called “Behind the Day”when she appears at a location you visited the day before is also the main culprit in her movements. Players who tried to install a GPS tracker on it to solve this problem may have noticed a glitch in this solution as well. Since the game is still in Early Access, these kinds of bugs and crashes will be commonplace for now. Since this is a major issue that most players are facing, we hope it will be fixed in the next patch.

We hope this should cover everything you need to know about preventing Virginia from escaping.
