Hunt: Showdown Problems/Bugs/Frustrations/Poor Quality of Life list.
By BRAINROTGAMER002
I play in Asia server with 180 ping(Now 200ping as of 20th July) all the time. I hover around 4-5 stars, i have 1800 hours since 2022, i play this almost everyday. But these little details or huge problems has made the game frustrating at times. But the gunplay is still great, same thing. Fanning, shotgun, long ammo has pretty much been the meta making prestiging a pain if you are not very good with low grade guns. I also hope David Fifield adds back BB when we kill hunters, extract, etc. I'm also not sure if Crytek ever bans the cheater that i have reported. Feel free to add quality of life changes, bugs, performance issue and server issue.

Server Issue/Problems - Main reason why this guide exist
1. High ping (Especially in Asia server, any Asian country other than China will get 180 to 200 ping. I live in Malaysia and i get also 180 ping in Europe server.).

2. Packet loss.

3. Random spike in ping to 22000 ping.

4. Door doesn't open when i punch it (180 ping),(Cause me to die multiple times already.)

5. Windows doesn't break when i shoot it (180 ping).

6. Clear point blank shots doesn't damage the enemy but only show blood (180 ping).

7. Taking a clue, res a friend, healing or taking traits on the floor sometimes will trigger the ping spike to 22000 ping and you just hold onto it forever until you let go of it and start all over again. Frustrating when you want to heal up in the middle of a fight.

8. Romero can no longer one tap at close range with 180 ping. Server is doubting if i hit the enemy accurately.


9. Windows takes 1 second to show the interact button (200 ping).

10. Trading kills in Europe server are very consistent.
Performance/Optimization - A modern PC with at least 6 cores, RTX GPU, M.2 SSD PCIE GEN 3.
1. Stuttery mess with more updates, can be fixed with rivatuner fps lock. The in-game fps locker makes the game super stuttery. Gunfights is the biggest culprit to stuttering.

2. 1 second huge stutter when going to different compounds.

3. Laggy menu when the just running the game fresh, less laggy overtime.

4. Not fully using the GPU utilization.

5. Frame drops 30-50 depending on the compound.

6. Textures sometimes don't load unless you get super close to the compound or hunter.

7. 9,10 and 20 series GPU from Nvidia gets considerably low fps.

8. BSOD on Start.

9. Different legendary hunters affects fps, up to 10fps drop.
Bugs/Error - Report
1. Caldwell New Army Swift - The quick reload holder gets bugged if you reload then vault. Fix - Swap weapons.

2. Death cheat - Stays even though you died 100 times. FIXED

3. Hunter extracted at the extraction point activates your instinct even when they are not there anymore. FIXED

4. When you are killed, sometimes the game does not show spectate partner, or it says "You are dead" with a black screen for about 5 seconds, damage replay are inconsistent and does not show the weapon or hunter. Whatever that 'Bloodline Name' means.

5. Hunter event point boost 125%.


6. 3 blunt attacks to kill hive bees (180 ping).

7. Assassin boss still shoots at you even though there are 3 people hitting it with heavy attacks continuously(180ping).

8. 4 boss bug.




9. Hive's bee can block more than 2 light blunt attack, and sometimes hives can take up to 3 heavy knuckle knife attacks to kill.

10. Interaction has been inconsistent. Highlighted objects are not interacted instead interact with other nearby objects.

11. Throwing axes or knives can disappear or get stuck to the ground.
Quality of Life updates that could be added are below.








Animations/Model - Improvements Suggestions
1. There are so many guns that the hunter's hands clip through when doing a heavy attack or light attack.

2. Running then ADS is so bad, the gun go all over the place for a second before going stabilize to the crosshair.

3. Weapon charms clip through weapon.

4. Hunter clothes clip through weapon when Q is on.
Attention to details - Improvement Suggestions
1. Exploding immolators should burn dead bodies just like it burns live hunters.

2. All infected should trip and fall when chasing a hunter, non of them have brain to dictate which path to take to get to the hunter, so fake when you see them go around a corner, using the stairs or walking a long path to get to the hunter instead of just tripping down.

3. Grunts can still hit you when they step on something leveled like a plank or stuff on the floor but your melee cannot hit them when the infected is just a few degrees upwards.

4. Hive bees can turn around 90 degrees into a corner that she cannot see and still chase the hunter far away.

5. Heavy rain does not put out grunt's torches, lanterns and campfire at resupply points and other parts of the map???

6. Lantern grunts clearly shows no fire, but when it hits you it starts a fire.

7. Lantern grunts going through the choke bomb does not put out the fire of the lantern.

8. Punching grunts in front of you with 180 ping often stops you for a second because the serve is unsure if you bump onto them or killed them.

9. Hunters should be able to jump over bear traps.

Audio - Improvement Suggestions
1. We should be able to control all the volume of the sound effects. Like the death screen, extraction sound(Which is loud asf), and ready sound.

2. Winfield gunshots sounds grainy. Perhaps an update to the audio?

3. Ability to remove the Eerie sound effect or soundtrack that is being played when in boss compound or nearby.
Menu - Improvement Suggestions
1. Can be simplified and made easier for new comers. Maybe block some pages or force to pressed on help button so they know which button is for what function.

Let me add some more...

- Main menu is horribly designed. So many different screens and buttons that could get simplified.

- Throwing axe / Throwning knife can't get picked up sometimes and you have to wait 2 seconds to be able to pick it up because the game thinks you have both axes or all 6 knives even if you are missing 2 in reality

- Item interactions. I can't tell you how many times I've had to walk around a dead body in a specific angle to loot it, or opened a door when I wanted to remove a trap, ETC. ETC. Sometimes you interact with things that aren't even visible on your screen, like you want to open a door but you flicker on a light behind you instead.

- Trading kills. Trading kills. Trading kills.
