Hunt: Showdown 1896 News

15/04/2021 10:43 CEST Update

Hunters,

The PC servers are back online.

~Thank you for your patience, and Happy Hunting!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PC Hunters,

We will be bringing down PC Live servers in ~1 Hour for scheduled maintenance at 10:00 CEST.

Make sure to extract from your match to save your Hunter and match progression.

We will update this posting once the servers are back online.

~Thanks!

Hunters,

Below are the update notes for Hotfix 1.5.0.5:




We have implemented some new features which we hope will help with the backend issues that have been impacting Hunt over the last few weeks (unplanned server down time issues). We will continue to monitor the situation and will apply further updates/fixes if required.

• Reduced the impact damage of the Hand Crossbow poison bolt from 127 to 107. This will mean it is far less likely for players to die too quickly and will give them a chance to escape the poison cloud.
  

• Fixed an issue where single-shot weapons were displaying the incorrect amount of ammo for the second ammo slot.
  

• Fixed an issue where FMJ ammo for some weapons would incorrectly display a change in effective range.
  

• Fixed an issue where the headshot sound would play unintentionally when a player has been hit by an explosion.
  

• Fixed an issue where spare ammo was duplicating itself in some cases when carrying two of the same ammo types.
  
• Loaded ammo (bullet in the chamber) will now be returned to the ammo pool correctly when the weapon is inactive (I.e., dropped on the ground).
  

• Fixed several potential crashes that could occur for players.
  

• Fixed a rare issue that could result in Scrapbeak not being one of the available Boss targets. (Scrapbeak is supposed to be in all missions so we have corrected this issue).
  
• Fixed an issue where players that took too long to load into a match might not earn event points as intended.
  
• Fixed an issue that resulted in the mission summary not automatically displaying after reconnecting to the backend (rare occurrences).

Hunters,

The PC live servers will be taken offline for maintenance (and to deploy a hotfix) at 14:00 CEST today. Please make sure to extract before this time to avoid losing your hunter.

Thanks.

Matchmaking changes incoming with update 1.5.1. 🙌

We will be refining the existing matchmaking brackets as well as giving you additional control of your matchmaking experience.

More details to come in a blog next week.

Hunters,

We will be taking the PC live server offline for a brief maintenance today at 12:15 CET to deploy a hotfix. This fix is aimed at preventing a rare issue where players could potentially lose a reliquary due to a disconnect.

With this change, in case the issue occurs a “transaction failed” will appear when purchasing or equipping items on hunters. You will need to perform a restart of the game which will allow you to resolve this issue. Once we have confirmed this has resolved the issue, we will reimburse those that have lost reliquaries due to this issue.
