Hunt: Showdown 1896 has seen great success following its recent revamp with the latest CryEngine version and the introduction of substantial new content.

Fans Call Out Hunt Showdown 1896 For Major Console Issues

Crytek recently announced the 2.1.0.1 update for Hunt: Showdown 1896, which includes various bug fixes and technical improvements, such as addressing game crashes, item rendering issues, and matchmaking adjustments to speed up mission load times. While these changes appear positive on the surface, many fans feel Crytek is prioritizing the wrong issues.

Responses on X highlight the frustration among players, with one user asking, "When will you fix the problem of the game not starting? There are thousands who still can't play with this update." Another echoed the sentiment, stating, "Wow. Still not addressing some of the major issues present since the launch of 1896 on consoles. Come ON."

Fans are upset not just about technical issues, but also about the game's accessibility, as many console players are struggling to even start the game. However, some users have shown more understanding, acknowledging the challenges that come with the transition to the new CryEngine version. One fan remarked, "You people complaining 24/7 need to take a damn break... Yes, the game isn't in a great state, but they are clearly trying to update constantly."

For now, players must patiently wait to see Crytek's next steps, with console support likely being the biggest concern. Hopefully, this will be addressed first, allowing Hunt: Showdown 1896 to shine as it should.
