Hunt: Showdown 1896 may have had a rough start, but it has pushed forward with major highlights, including exciting new events, weapons, hunters, and updates to tackle significant underlying issues. The latest update, 2.1.1, has just launched, bringing many quality-of-life improvements that enhance the overall experience.
While players have welcomed many of these fixes, some major issues remain unaddressed, leaving the community eager for further updates.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 Update 2.1.1 Is Live, but Lingering Issues Continue to Frustrate Fans
Hunt: Showdown 1896 has just rolled out its 2.1.1 update, and as detailed in the patch notes, several key issues have been addressed. While many players welcomed these changes, things have been a bit more mixed over on the Hunt: Showdown Subreddit.
Some fans shared positive feedback, with one player saying, "Sounds good! The UI bugs with hotkeys while searching, trait selection, and so on were driving me mad," with others echoing similar thoughts.
However, further comments reveal that the update hasn’t fixed some deeper issues. One user noted, "For me, the patch notes will only be interesting once the stuttering on Xbox has been fixed!" Stuttering, crashes, PC cursor issues, and other performance problems remain ongoing complaints.
Thankfully, there’s hope on the horizon, as many fans are looking forward to the upcoming 2.2 update, which is expected to address a larger portion of the lingering issues. As one player mentioned, "They've mentioned this is being fixed in 2.2, which is hopefully only a couple of weeks away." This sentiment was echoed across many other complaints as well.
Here’s hoping that Crytek’s 2.2 update can deliver, fixing some of the bigger issues (no patch is ever perfect) and giving players a much-needed break from the more disruptive aspects, so we can all get back to enjoying the game Hunt: Showdown 1896 can be.
