Hunt: Showdown 1896 News

Server Downtime - 22nd August, 09:00 AM CEST

Hunters,

The servers will be offline on Thursday, August 22nd, from 9am CEST for a backend update lasting around 90 minutes to addressing the following issues:

Loadouts: fixing several bugs, most notably an issue where attempting to save stacks of 2 Consumables into a loadout fails to equip them.
Game Lobby: fixing an issue where under specific conditions during high load, attempts at connecting to Dedicated Servers sometimes fail.
General stability and system resilience improvements.

Thank you for your patience.

Hunt Showdown's 1896 relaunch is live and facing player derision over the new UI, bugs and performance

As is tradition for big 2.0-style updates, some players absolutely loathe it, with recent Steam user reviews dragging the consensus underwater.
