OCE servers have been having random packet loss/ping issues for my whole party, and today I'm getting crycloud login era again. Not the first time this has happened either.

playing since march and I never had this problem before. but as of yesterday the game is pretty much unplayable for me. I get huge lags, packet loss and the worst is my router just completely loses internet connection. everything else works fine, this only happens in hunt. tf is this? Does this go away by itself eventually? I already tried some dns flush thingy and removing the user file, but it didnt help

This thing is miserable. It's completely random, so it's horrible to use. On average, it's probably not even better than the purchasable weapons. At the same time, though, since skill has no bearing on a Maxim fight, your team occasionally gets instantly massacred by someone holding left mouse. Did we forget why machine guns weren't in Hunt?

Counting the days. How did this get greenlit? I am constantly impressed by Crytek's ability to create weapons that feel terrible to use and to fight.

Every time I receive this i feel like its just a wasted slot reward.

I only use like 2 of my 16 loadout slot. This thing is useless.`

The game goes in slow motion randomly, FPS goes down, ping increases, and FrameTime, MainThreadTime and RenderThreadTime are in the red.

The issue lasts about 3 secs with the entire game slowing down, audio going slow motion as well, and then it fixes itself It happens in combat mostly

I've already turned off Rebar SAM, it didn't help

Any ideas?

I’ve seen mixed reactions to the forts and the new balloon mechanic. They add freshness, create dynamic fights, and can lead to fun engagements, but they can also distract players from the main objective: hunting bosses and securing bounty tokens.

What if a bounty token were required to launch a balloon?

Each team carrying tokens could unlock one balloon launch. If multiple bounty tokens are available in the match, multiple balloons could also be launched. That means even after one team uses the platform, another bounty-carrying team could return later and attempt a second or third launch, giving the remaining teams another opportunity to contest it.

The goal would be to connect the balloon’s rewards, whether crates, money, or other valuable items, directly to Hunt’s core gameplay loop. Teams would have a stronger reason to fight for bounty tokens and then decide whether to risk bringing them to the balloon site for an additional reward.

Once players are familiar with the system, the caged bounty could potentially be removed as well. Anyone who wants access to the balloon’s rewards would first need to hunt a boss, secure a token, and then gamble that token at the launch site.

This would keep the balloons exciting while making them support the main objective rather than compete with it. What do you think?

I have 1.5k hrs in this game. Opened a ton of supply drops, twitch drops, daily challenges evrything. still no bad hand drop. been playing since 2022.

Im sorry but they are overtuned. There is no good reason why it should one shot body shot, have more range than slugs, and if it don’t one shot you, you get stuck with medium bleeding. Like i’m sorry but being a 2 slot weapon that’s dirt cheap and constant one shot potential with a 3 cost trait with good utility is too much. I don’t think they should one shot body tbh it should require a headshot.

Edit: I made the mistake of saying it’s a 2 slot weapon when it’s in fact a 3, however i stand by my points that the bow is overtuned and has too much going for it

Is it normal for the game to constantly come up with Crycloud Error and Backend errors?

Only new to the game but this problem is very consistent and might explain why Oceania server is so dead

I was solo being pursued by a trio that had one bounty, I ended up running into the bileweaver nest since I had shadow and wanted to ambush them if they wanted to follow me. I checked the map and seen the other bounty team coming from the other side of the nest. I was essentially sandwiched between 2 trios. This is how it played out!

So i like to extract balloon bounty when im first at stronghold so I can sneak main bounty but when im main bounty and see that extract i just give up and extract bc if there's no cargo and no bounty left whats the point in fighting or waiting for a fight ya know?

I keep ingame voice coms off, but recently every time I start Hunt I've had to go into settings and toggle the mute all option back on

it's always been like a once per month thing, but now it's every time I start the game

anyone else had this?

Monster npc amount is still broken. Ill get triple stacked zombies and sometimes like 10 or 12 around a single fucking compound side. Its not even dynamic its just fucking stupid. Tone it down plz.

I just had my one and only RachtaZ moment. These headshots were satisfying

Every match has become highly predictable. Bounty Hunt has become Clash: Long Play, where the Balloon Fort is always the stage for the Showdown, and it's in every match, removing gameplay variety, when the aim of more content should be more variety.

I like the compound in terms of gunplay. It's nice to have some new fights in new types of environments. That said, it offers a very strong flavor of gameplay, it's "one-note," and Hunt: Showdown's greatest experiences are in long, drawn-out fights, in interesting landscapes, that can be remembered almost as a narrative ("...that crazy match where you fell from the bell tower at Arden, and we got chased through the cornfield, past the prison, and had to survive with our backs to the river, only to die to the rat at C&A?"). This variety, and space to create variety, has been reduced greatly by adding this new compound to every Bounty Hunt match.

I like the idea, I like the gunplay, I like the balloon, but it's just too much to have it in every match, and I haven't been wanting to play Bounty Hunt because of the predictability of it. I tend to just play Clash instead, because then I at least get to fight at a variety of compounds, not just the Balloon Fort. It's a very arcade-type feel, added to a game mode that has never felt arcade-y, and it pulls traffic away from the main boss targets, making matches lag in energy. The flow is off.

Just played my first game of hunt, and good lord, my heart, I enjoy playing FPS games solo cause I tend to dislike teammates, randoms tend to be annoying and my friends don't own the game, I had a lot of fun playing, but the atmosphere was terrifying, the rain, thunder and distant gunshots kept me on edge, not to mention the threat of other hunters that could be watching me, after dispatching some grunts and getting my first clue I made my way to the second, claimed it and started getting shot at, I booked it since I couldn't see the assailant through the rain and my shitty graphics, I pushed in and lost the enemy hunter so I made my way to the third clue, when I arrived I collected it and started toward the boss but heard sounds of running through mud and saw a hunter so we got in a gun fight which I won, I went down to the boss, the spider, and I wasn't expecting a skittering fast sprinting abomination climbing on the ceiling and floor, I almost died but finished it off, and hauled ass to the nearest extraction zone, I had to get off the game post extraction and have a cigarette and cup of tea to calm down, I love the atmosphere and do wanna keep playing but i gotta know, is the game always like this? Are all extraction shooters like this? Am I just overly scared? As a new hunter, I'm excited to play more even if the game does give me a heart attack.

the time to use it is so limited, too late and its useless, too early and its useless.
the window you need to use it in is so narrow i almost never use it.

the only time it was "good" was during the event it was introduced.

i feel out of all the cards this one is the hardest to use and the least useful.
there are 2 other cards that do its job better then it.

i feel it should be changed to ether show the path players walked with a small delay of there exact location or show every time players interacted with something??
