So far development by crytek has been stellar. But Quickplay and these performance issues give me pause.

At least Random Contract now does both maps and Lawson can have 1 or 2 bosses.

3.0 kind of sucked in that it gave you the choice of playing only the new map and having no variety or trying to play the old map, wait 5+ minutes for it to find a game, and have at most 1 or 2 other teams in it.

Man, this rendition of the theme song suuuuuuuucks (I'm almost positive the lyrics were from a fan made version posted to reddit like 6 months ago) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb5rNdbdfNk *edit* having now played it I will admit I was skeptical but Quickplay is fun as hell. They really need to rename it to something else though. Someone on reddit suggested "Redemption mode". goes well with Bounty I think Basticle fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Dec 14, 2018 |

I don't hate quickplay but I still maintain this game just doesn't need it. And now my queue times for the normal mode have doubled and I'm ending up in empty servers again.

So this might be common knowledge but today I just found out theres a "hardware acceleration" option in Discord. I turned it off and while I havent played a ton and this could be a placebo effect, I've had no stuttering in Hunt since then.Skyarb posted:8 games of normal hunt this morning. 7 of them were empty servers. Hooray thanks quickplay! Hi, I'm the guy whos been saying for weeks/months that I get put into an empty game at least once a day, and I have yet to be on an empty server since 4.0 came out  A different problem is that today we've sucessfully launched into a game 50% of the time, 25% of the time launching matchmaking has resulted in a crycloud error, 25% of the time both me and my partner finish the map loading process and then all of a sudden we're back at the main menu.

bought in for the winter sale. Tried the quickplay last man standing thing a bit, but it's absolutely loving impossible to enjoy it with the audio distorting/breaking down like it is. I looked briefly through the Steam forum and it's apparently some brand new bug involving Dark Sight or whatever experienced by precisely one other dude as of 5 minutes ago. Anyone else run into this?

I noticed when I was playing quick play that I seemed to have permanent dark sight boost. I assumed everyone else did too tho because of the way everyone seems to spot everyone instantly at 100m and start firing. is that the bug you're referring to? also, I've played a half dozen or so qp games now. some took the full timer but not once have I been in with less than 5 people (I think). normal queues still seem to work perfectly fine and I've only gotten 1 empty game in 3 days (playing in the middle of the night/super early morning) I'm on west though which I get the feeling is much more densely populated than some of the other servers?

The dark sight in quickplay only shows the guy with the ....uh...wellspring? Not sure of the terminology. Or at least thats how its supposed to work, I havent played it in a couple of days.

That's not quite the bug I'm speaking of. Once I used darksight in a match my audio rapidly deteriorated - less channels playing, sounds cut in and out rapidly forming a "crunching" sort of effect, certain actions just cut the audio out entirely for a solid second or two. After about an hour of play it got to the point where I was almost completely deaf crossing some swampland, with all the audio crunched out.

I am very bad at the game. That would be a bummer if that is why my queue times are so long.

Is anyone else having the problem of pretty much never playing Lawson on random contract (and you want to do random contract otherwise it will never find a full game). Like when 4.0 came out it was an even mix but since 4.1 its been like 90% Bayou vs Lawson in both my experience and my friends.

matchmaking has been readjusted several times since 2.4. also proper ELO matchmaking requires something like a 40-1 population at any given time in most cases (so if you're looking at a 10 person match to do elo properly there need to be several hundred people available to pull from) while Hunt isnt a dead game by any means its population isnt high enough to support that kind of matchmaking.

I'm level 100 (never bothered with prestige), and regularly get into full classic games when playing US West if I'm playing during normal evening hours. There will be the occasional low population game though.

Is it just me or does everyone and their dog use shotguns? I have been trying quick play out after not playing for a while and it feels like every person I come across is packing one as their primary weapon.
