This is a totally unrelated issue, we saw your first post in another thread and our QA manager is already looking into it. There is no need to post the same thing, which essentially belongs to bug reports, in every topic.

Hi All,

I have been off from TheHunter for a while now and yesterday I bought another 6 month subscription and the game is unplayable!! When I load up a MP game and it all loads fine but when I then click "i" or right click the huntermate the game crashes?????????? Does anyone know what is going on and is anyone else experiencing this?

Just makes the game unusable and just wasting days of subscription?

I have tried re-downloading clearing cache and all the main things you would try lol all I want to do is hunt. :)

Thanks all

SkyRL

There are known problems with the game at the moment, both client and backend. Addressing the later was the entire point of this thread being created, and it is my understanding that there are continued efforts to work on improving the backend infrastructure. In addition, there is a problem (maybe numerous problems) causing the client to crash. In some cases, and for some players, it is inconsistent and can happen either within minutes, or after a couple of hours. For others it is frustratingly regular and can be reproduced by doing some of the things you mentioned in your post, e.g. open the map, load the inventory. Some players are able to hunt for longer depending on which reserve they hunt in. Whiterime Ridge is reportedly the worst culprit when it comes to crashes. I believe the client issues are also being worked on but nobody has an ETA on a fix, from what I gather.

Are you playing at 4K? If so, then it should be noted that this resolution has been officially declared as no longer supported. Opening the map at 4K is almost certainly going to result in an instant crash. One forum member, Fletchette, identified that if you have ShadowPlay or any other overlays running when playing the game, this can also increase the frequency and likelihood of client crashes. If you're running ShadowPlay try disabling it to see if that helps. Same with any other overlays such as Fraps FPS counter, or AMD Raptr. I realise you shouldn't have to take such measures, but in lieu of a patch that fixes the underlying problems, it might be worthwhile trying just to see if it helps.

Hello,


Thank you for your help and advice :)

I tried changing the Hz refresh rate from 144 to 60hz and this worked ok for a short while. I think the main issue is within the steam client.

So I headed to the main website and downloaded the hunter client and this has been working perfect all night.

Logged into Steam this morning and there is a 700mb update on the hunter so hopefully they have resolved their issues. I will let you know how I get on.

Kind regards,
SkyRL

Have you tried the clear cache function in the launcher?
