Hunters,

Thank you for your patience and help in investigating the recent issues.
We will provide a global compensation to all players as soon as we can verify that all major issues with 1.1 are resolved.

The Hunters who helped us on the Test Servers over the past days will receive 100 Blood Bonds on Monday during a server maintenance as promised.

• We have implemented a different pipeline to deliver the mission rewards in order to make them more reliable when returning to the menu after a game.
  
• Optimized network bandwidth between game server and game client.
  

• Fixed a number of Client crashes during Gameplay, in the Menus and on Quit.
  
• Fixed a bug where windows during Foggy time of day missions were too black and rendered at long distances.
  
• Fixed an issue where forming a group via persistent group feature would result in a "player left the group" (invitee) / 0x200007 message (inviter) on starting a session.
  
• Fixed an issue where Inviter could get stuck on "Transmitting selected mission" screen during the invitation process.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Choke bomb box was part of the poison category in roster screen.

Stability / Performance

• Players sometimes experience desyncs / rubberbanding issues during gameplay.
  

Gameplay

• For the improbable case when a player gets killed by the choke bomb’s damage (1), the death screen doesn't show the correct source just yet.
  
• Sometimes weapons can drop on top of each other making it hard to loot the correct one.
  
• In rare cases weapons can get stuck in a reload loop for a few seconds.
  
• Sometimes tools or consumables can float in the world.
  
• Moving close to windows while being on fire causes the window to break.
  

UI

• Teams of three opt in can sometimes be changed in random teams - this should not be possible.
  
• It may happen that the underdog bonus is falsely displayed when in a trio.
  
• Dollar rewards for challenges are displaying wrong values challenges tab - players receive the correct amount (double) though upon claiming.
  
• Cleaning contraband items can lead to sorting issues in the Equipment screen.
  
• Last Partner is not displayed in Last Match Screen
  

Visual / Audio

• In rare cases players might encounter objects with wrong/purple shading.
  
• In rare cases clients might experience render issues when other players extract from the map.

Hunters,

The PC Live servers are going offline to deploy Patch 1.1.2 at 10:00 AM CEST!

Make sure to extract before then to save your Hunter!

Hunters,

We would like to apology for the issues the community is encountering. The reported issues did not show during our Test Server phase, due to the fact that most of these issues are linked to higher concurrent users amount.

We have already fixed some of the pain-points after this update and we hope that those fixes will make playing hunt more enjoyable. Regarding one of the most critical issue (partial or no rewards after a game) we have identified the issue (it is caused by loss of communication between the Game Server and the Backend) and have attempted a tentative fix. Due to the nature of this issue and that it was not possible to reproduce it internally or on the Test Server we will closely monitor the service to see if the problem continue to occur.

You can expect a global compensation to be granted to all accounts once we have resolve this issue.

Hunters,

We will directly take down the servers to deploy a hotfix to fix the 0x30005 error users are experiencing.

We are still investigating the issue for the mission reward, while this hotfix might fix it, we are not yet certain and will look for a fix as soon as we can.
