Hunters,

First, we would like to thank all of you who played on the Test Server over the weekend and provided us with your game.log. We are processing the results.

We have pushed a new version on the Test Server. The lightweight profiler is now removed as we collected enough feedback. We have also made some changes to remove some stalls we detected.

We would kindly ask player who had any performance issues on Update 6.0 to try this version and provide feedback to your preferred Community Manager or Discord Moderator.

Client patch size: ~300 MB

Hunters,

We have rolled out a new version of Update 6.0 with an integrated light profiling tool. It will print to the Game.log file more information in case some functions are taking a longer time than expected (which would typically result in stutter or stalls).

In case you have experienced performance issues with Update 6.0 we would be very grateful if you would take some time to play on the Test Server. In case you experience stutter or stalls, save your Game.log (can be found at the root of the Hunt: Showdown Steam installation folder) and send it to your favorite Community Manager, Customer Support or Discord Moderator.

Please be aware that the version on Test Server may have lower performance overall or increase the stalls length. The lightweight profiling tool would be disabled/removed before we push the Update 6.0 to the Live servers.

~The Hunt Team

The Test Servers are now back online!

Happy Hunting!
