New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on April 12, 2022) follows:

Developed and published by Crytek, the same studio that developed the legendary Crysis, Hunt Showdown is an online multiplayer FPS shooting game.

The title was first launched on Windows and Xbox in 2019 and marked its appearance on the PlayStation a year later. Soon after its release, both players and critics have praised the game for its visuals and gameplay.

But make no mistake, as players often encounter technical glitches such as the botched sensitivity for controllers after the 1.8 update and many unable to place or deploy the bear trap.

Adding to the list of problems, Hunt Showdown players are now facing server disconnection issues (1,2,3,4,5). Many say it has made the game completely unplayable for them.

While most of these reports are coming from those who play on the European server, the problem seems to be affecting other regions as well.

Players say they already tried generic solutions such as restarting the game and verifying files but the issue persists. Here is what some Hunt Showdown players experiencing server disconnection issues have to say on the matter.

While Hunt Showdown developers have restarted the game servers in EU, it looks like players are still getting disconnected while playing.

We hope the developers soon find out the root cause of the issue and fix it in the coming days since the game is currently unplayable at best for many. When they do, we will update this space to let you know so stay tuned.
