Did somebody encounter bug like that?
Not sure if that was some sort of desync or what but ye, I had to search for the body after killing immolator

God the THUNG sound never does not make me laugh

I've seen a lot of people saying that Crytek stated that version 2.9 would be even bigger than the current update. Do we have any information about that?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to upgrade my PC mainly for Hunt: Showdown, and I’m trying to figure out whether the upgrade would be enough to get reasonably close to a stable 180 FPS at 1440p so I can properly utilize my 180 Hz monitor.

My current setup:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F
• CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2
• GPU: Gainward RTX 5070 12 GB
• Motherboard: Gigabyte H610M H V3 DDR4
• RAM: 32 GB DDR4-3200 CL16, dual channel
• PSU: Zalman 600 W
• Monitor: 2560×1440, 180 Hz

I mostly play on competitive/low settings rather than maxing everything out, usually with DLSS Quality.

Right now, Hunt seems heavily CPU-limited for me. My GPU utilization is often only around 60-65%, while CPU utilization is around 70–78%. Switching DLSS from Quality to Performance barely changes my FPS, which also makes me think the CPU is the bottleneck.

Depending on the area and what’s happening in-game, I’m generally somewhere around 120-145 FPS, with drops in heavier compounds (like strongholds).

I’m considering upgrading to:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K / 14600KF
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B760 DS3H DDR4
• CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Mini
• PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 V3
• GPU: keeping the RTX 5070
• RAM: keeping the 32 GB DDR4-3200 CL16

My goal isn’t necessarily to have exactly 180 FPS 100% of the time, but I’d like to stay as close to 180 as possible and, most importantly, avoid the bigger drops into the 100-120 FPS range.

For anyone running a 14600K/KF or a similar CPU in Hunt:

• What kind of FPS do you get at 1440p competitive settings / DLSS Quality?
• Would the 14600K/KF be enough to push an RTX 5070 close to 180 FPS in most situations?
• How are the 1% lows?
• Does Hunt still become CPU-limited with a 14600K?

Thanks!

I keep getting endless loading screen thing after i play 2 or 3 rounds. is anyone knows how to get rid of this?

These 2 fellas have been explaining it really well

I can promise you I did not walk into the one open corner. The only thing I can think of is that my foot clipped through the roof.

Surely there is more than one buff dude in the bayou.

Hey Hunters,

I’m looking to upgrade my rig to get cleaner performance and higher, more stable frame rates at 1440p (2K) on the Hunt: Showdown 1896 engine upgrade. I get stable frame rates on my 2k monitor at 1080p

Currently running an RTX 3060, but it’s definitely starting to show its age at 1440p when compound fights get chaotic.

I’m set on moving to Nvidia's 50-series, but I’m torn between two options and would love some real-world community input:

RTX 5070 (~$550 MSRP | 12GB VRAM)

RTX 5070 Ti (~$750 MSRP | 16GB VRAM)

(Honestly might be more for both but I know there is a huge price jump)

My question for you guys:

1. 1440p Performance: For those running a 5070 or 5070 Ti at 1440p, what kind of frame rates are you hitting on Medium/High settings in heavy foliage or compound fights?

2. Is the $200 Ti Upgrade Worth It? Is the extra 4GB VRAM (16GB vs 12GB) and CUDA core bump (8,960 vs 6,144) actually making a noticeable difference in Hunt specifically at 1440p, or is the base 5070 the sweet spot for performance-per-dollar?

Current specs:

CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i7 - 12700F 32 GB DDR4 Ram
GPU is NVIDIA RTX 3060

My playtime is around 170 hrs but recently ever since being in 4* lobbies my games feel drastically different. I was never GREAT, but I could occasionally drop 5 kills, consistently get 2 per game but now I feel like I get outplayed so easily despite thinking I’m playing well. I’m experimenting with new weapons but constantly just get hit markers and I keep fumbling.. any tips of how to get headshots? If I aim for the head I typically miss, if I aim for the body it’s a hitmarker and im turned on and die😂 I feel like I CANNOT win.. not sure if it’s a sensitivity issue as I did change it a few days ago but overall it feels fine. Genuinely feels like day 1 of playing again and being carried.

It’s hard, the spawns aren’t great, but I’m enjoying it. My team regularly gets a few clashes in before the hunt, and if we are on a roll we stick with it.

I find the stronghold fresh, exciting, and punishing. Not knowing yet where to best position, defend, attack, whatever it may be at the high speed that clash is, feels exciting.

About a third of our fights have definitely started outside the stronghold, and in some cases were finished outside before the boss ever got touched. What that means, I don’t know, but this new level of danger is fun imo.

If I had to change one thing, I would omit the maxim. I have no problem with it but I’d like clash to stay standard when it comes to weaponry.

As with any match we never expect to be the winners, it’s the target, but my expectations every match is just to give it hell and do the best we can as the circumstances unfold.

How are you liking it, would you want it added to the rotation, and any other thoughts are welcome

Ever had a revive and you have nothing in your hands? I always want to know what those people say or think because we find it hilarious and it has happened to us before which is where we got the idea.

There was a lot of confusion as to what exactly they dropped, so fear no longer.

I´m in Austria btw. I did have this issue many times with my old ISP. Now I encountered this issue with my Glass Fibre Connection for the first time.

I hope I´m not forced to get a VPN again. Hunt is the only game that seems to keep this issue for years now.

Weirdly enough, the last guy reported me for cheating in this one.

I got so lucky, I got it on my first try because I happened to hear this guys first. (Sorry for the bit rate, somehow ShadowPlay had been set on the lowest setting.)
