Hunt: Showdown is a popular FPS action game developed by Crytek that was released in 2019. It stood out among similar titles for its dark setting based on horror and nightmarish creatures.
But, a recurring problem that Hunt: Showdown players have complained about is related to the behavior of the hit marker or hit box (the areas where you have to hit to cause damage to the enemy).
Apparently, a delayed shooting issue that some players are experiencing is causing erratic results on the hit marker. So, it is an issue that can seriously affect the competitive segment.
Hunt: Showdown delayed shooting or hit marker issues
According to multiple reports, there is a delayed shooting issue in Hunt: Showdown that directly impacts gameplay, as hitting the hit marker becomes much more difficult (1, 2, 3).
The foregoing results in the occurrence of so-called ‘ghost shots’. That is, shots that do not deal damage to opponents even though they have clearly hit them.
Dear community, sometimes when I aim with iron sight and shoot, the firing is delayed and end up explode like half second later, resulting in a missed shot.
I experience this kind of problem, sadly, a lot of times, basically one per game. The issue appears randomly with all kind of weapons.
It’s not ping, I barely go over 30 ping.
Please help me I’m getting mad! Source
A problem that has been present for at least 1 year
It should be noted that this issue is not exactly new. In fact, there are similar reports going back 1 year. So, some players have had to deal with it for quite some time (1, 2).
However, for some players, these issues have just started to appear or have intensified since they installed the most recent game update.
At the moment, there’s still no official acknowledgement from Crytek, but we will update this article with all new pertinent information once related developments emerge.
