Any plan on reworking the icons in the post-match team details screen? They are super confusing, all look alike. I don't know how a UI designer can approve of that. Please give us some distinct icons.

Not sure why but after 1.9 after a game my client often freezes instead of returning me to the Hunt selection screen. Very annoying as you have to force close the game and restart it. Please hot fix this bug.

As somebody from Australia who played on us west since early access, over the last 12 months it's been just unplayable.. but this 1.9 drop actually fixed alot of the issues I had with huge delays feeling like I was on 400 ping rather than 150 that I normally get. I'm enjoying my time again on hunt.

1.9 is a game changer for me.
Very happy with this update.

Server stability improvements? Servers went down twice for maintenance hours after 1.9 launched. Game is now often crashing when returning to mission screen. Sometimes when loading into a game it will randomly kick you to the desktop, and the reconnect feature does not let you back in. I have seen huge packetloss issues as well as server time issues becoming more frequent since 1.9. You did fix the dsync and thanks for that, but the servers and stability in general are worse since the update.

update (ps5) when is the update coming?

[hundertfels]

thank god for the server stability improvement! It is really a gamechanger

[Fireinthehole]

I play on Xbox and have not been able to download the new update. On top of that it’s almost impossible to get on the game now and the servers are horrible. What’s going on?

[RevRyukin]

Servers have gotten so much worse. So many games with 12000-44000 ping. Insane.

Why i cant buy Hunt Showdown on console from Brazil? Please help

[Giovannixxify]

Guys, Do you have any idea when you will be releasing the game for the Brazilian Store in Brazil? Cuz, I'm crazy about your game, and I even own it on Steam, but my current laptop doesn't work out the game properly. I have a PS4 and I would love playing this game on it. Please, release it on Brazilian PS Store, so I can finally buy it, play it there an have fun killling zombies and earning contracts haha I would appreciate it a lot, not only me but all brazilian players who love this game!

PS5 (EU 100mb internet/low ping). Any idea why on some games textures do not load and pop-in is prevalent. AI spawn a few metres infront of you. It's about 40% of the time. Been like this since I started playing a long time ago.

0:02 could be snipped out for the sound of a motorcycle starting up no? 🤔

[TheCyberfaktor]

As usual crytek fixes one thing and makes multiple other issues worse.

I and many other have been experiencing complete loading failure. Will you be addressing this with this update? This game breaking bug has been prevalent since update 1.5.3. Hunt Showdown is literally the only game I’ve ever played that I haven’t been able to load into on a consistent basis. It takes up to 45 minutes a night to get into my first game. I’m playing within my region and my ping never gets higher than 100. I have fast internet and don’t experience this kind of problem with any other games. This game was developed for last gen hardware and I’m not sure why the support for those platforms has tanked. Most people don’t have a next gen console and performance/graphics should only be improved by playing on one. The technical foundation of the game shouldn’t be a liability for someone playing on a last gen console. There are times that the game almost crashes from switching tabs in the lobby. It absolutely chugs. You would think that a main menu UI would be the most stable aspect of a game.

Sorry guys, but the servers are still trash, maybe even more than before. Also my hunter gets stuck on random objects since 1.9, really strange! Hope you can fix this somehow..

[gamerfromhell]

Lags, up to 30000 ping, frozen client´s and my fps and the fps of my friends dropped for 20 to 30 fps since 1.9 .... we was so excited since we see the patch notes for 1.9 but now we want the servers back from pre 1.9. we dont know why but please do something against it. We dont need new skins if we cant play. Please set your priorities on the server performance

[hemmo]

30 000 people connecting to server you say. Oh, let me laugh - last weeks average during the week has been 7 - 10 000 max. according Steam :D Looks like the Event is going to be a nightmare to you, if you got 15k people playing :D

[copatattoo]

congratulations, crytek kapers team now the server is kicking me out, the game is blocking me, you made a disaster out of this you created so many campers that the game lost its meaning
