| 8s | Hello, I'm Dennis Schwartz, Design Director for Hunt Showdown 1896. |
|---|---|
| 11s | Today we're diving in one of the most crucial topics in our community |
| 14s | our User Interface. |
| 15s | The UI we launched with 1896 has been a primary focus for |
| 18s | community feedback since August, |
| 19s | and we'd like to shed some light on the latest improvements |
| 22s | as well as sharing more on what's coming soon. |
| 24s | So let's get started. |
| 28s | First up, several UI bugs have been a point of frustration for |
| 31s | players, and we're tackling those head on in update 2.2 |
| 34s | launching mid-december. |
| 35s | Stability and functionality are top priorities, and we're |
| 37s | addressing the issues that impact your experience most. |
| 40s | We will be introducing a fix for the cursor reappearing in game after alt tabbing, |
| 43s | as well as the memory leak that occurred when toggling the map. |
| 46s | We've also ensured your region selection changes take effect |
| 49s | reliably without a restart. |
| 51s | You will also notice quicker navigation with the addition of |
| 53s | a loadout shortcut in my active roster, allowing you to set up |
| 56s | your Hunter and get back into the game with ease. |
| 59s | Alongside this, we have also ironed out issues with loadout changes |
| 61s | and filter preferences not saving correctly. |
| 64s | Pressing the space bar to jump or valt no longer opens the side panel by accident. |
| 68s | And the gear UI now loads correctly when hiring a |
| 70s | new Hunter, even if players currently don't own any. |
| 72s | In addition, we resolved an issue with the Hunter grid |
| 75s | sometimes becoming unresponsive. |
| 77s | We've also tackled some minor issues such as supporting dual wield |
| 79s | for some unique weapons skin pairings. |
| 82s | And fixing the burning animation on the map failing to animate during banish. |
| 85s | While this is not an exhaustive list of all the fixes, we have |
| 87s | been included in the next big update. |
| 89s | These improvements aim to make your experience smoother and |
| 92s | more intuitive. |
| 97s | Now on to some new features we're excited to add with Update 2.2. |
| 101s | We are bringing back updated versions of some of our previous roster of Hunters. |
| 104s | All our Rookie Hunters that were updated in August will now have |
| 107s | additional tough as nails variants in the form of Survivor |
| 110s | and Veteran skins. |
| 111s | To unlock these new versions permanently play and progress |
| 114s | your Rookies and Survivors up to level 50, respectively. |
| 118s | We're also adding a selection of custom weapon inspection animations |
| 121s | to the Katana, |
| 122s | Knuckle Duster, |
| 123s | Krag and more. |
| 125s | So you can showcase your weapon in a way that's unique to you. |
| 128s | It's a small detail, but one we think brings a lot of style. |
| 131s | We've reworked the Bloodline and Prestige screens to give a |
| 133s | clearer look at your current level and upcoming rewards. |
| 136s | This updated layout allows you to track your progress, |
| 139s | view descriptions and stories behind rewards, |
| 141s | and see exactly what's next inline as you progress. |
| 144s | With some custom ammo types now becoming scarce, ammunition for |
| 147s | certain weapons can only be found in game from looting |
| 149s | or ammo swap boxes and can no longer be purchased in the Arsenal. |
| 152s | Look for the Blue Hourglass icon to identify which ammo types are affected. |
| 156s | Our plan is to continue swapping custom ammo for specific weapons |
| 159s | in and out of being scarce over time. |
| 161s | We are also integrating a new and improved voice communication system. |
| 164s | Now, in addition to talking to everybody in proximity as before, |
| 168s | we will also be able to communicate more easily with |
| 170s | team mates both in the lobby and during game play over a separate private channel. |
| 174s | You will have flexible controls to manage your voice chat options, |
| 177s | including muting, colour coded indicators for clarity on who's speaking |
| 180s | as well as dedicated push to talk keys for team and all chat channels. |
| 184s | These updates open up a whole new level of communication, |
| 187s | hopefully making it much easier to coordinate directions when it counts. |
| 193s | Moving forward, we have tons more improvements |
| 195s | and quality of life updates in the pipeline for the UI. |
| 197s | It will be the team's ongoing focus as we work on resolving |
| 200s | the pinch points highlighted through community feedback |
| 202s | and introduce even more new features. |
| 204s | We are thrilled to bring you these updates and can't wait to |
| 206s | hear your thoughts as our UI continues to improve. |
| 209s | Please keep sharing your feedback with us as we continue |
| 212s | working and making this experience best it can be. |
| 214s | Meet you in the mountains and see you in the Bayou. |
