strange message

Post by Hubert »

After ending a hunt I tried, right away, to activate a competition but i got this strange message:
you can't activate a competition while you hunt !
What's going on ? New bugs ?? This is very annoying, please solve this anomaly ASAP.

They recently made a change preventing an exploit where players were activating competitions during hunts. Looks like the issue of a hunt not closing properly after ending interferes with that change.

When you want to end your hunt, press alt+F4
this way the server recognizes your hunt ending faster and you will be able to immediately join a comp. closing the game normally can result in the server thinking your hunt is running for a couple minutes longer.

Close the launcher and do a full refresh on the competition page (Ctrl-F5). If that does not fix it, wait another minute, do another refresh and you should be able to activate the comps.
