Howdy hunters,
Hope you are well on this glorious summer’s day. Here’s what has been happening at the Expansive Worlds’ Headquarters.
Game Crashes – Workaround Test
Here is some important information for those of you who have been experiencing issues causing the game client to crash. We’re hopefully starting to see some progress on the matter, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our awesome community members who’ve discovered and thoroughly tested the workaround. While we are testing it internally, you can try to implement it yourself following the instructions in this forum thread. Please read both the original post from caledonianblues as well as the post from our producer Philipp carefully, ask your questions and report your findings in that very same thread. We will be closely monitoring the data and once all testing is verified, we will build the solution and roll it out automatically for everyone.
Thanks again to our community members Pretty_Boy, Fletchette, caledonianblues and others who helped to test and roll this out to the larger community. You guys officially rock and we are humbled and honoured to have you playing with us! <3
Geek out on your hunting data!
Staying on the matter of impressive community efforts, make sure to check this sophisticated stats web app, developed by the aforementioned caledonianblues: https://www.uhcapps.co.uk/stats_lifetime.php?username=caledonianblues (just exchange “caledonianblues” in the URL to your own theHunter username to see your own stats). Search among your weapons, species, collectables, see some nice graphs of your hunting achievements and much, much more. Excellent work!
Semi-automatic wonderfulness
Yesterday we released another member of our semi-auto weapon family. The ultimate varmint equalizer, a .223 Semi-Automatic Rifle. From what we’ve gathered so far, the majority of you seem to like it, so that’s sweet! One of the common requests has been to expand the permitted species list by adding Sitka Deer (which by the way are getting a score upgrade in our next patch, don’t miss it). Our game designer Daniel is investigating this possibility, stay tuned for more news on this. If you want to see the rifle in all its glory, check out this video by our community member ronMctube:
Also, there is a nice bundle in the store right now with the new rifle, matching scope and a scent hound – have a look here.
Jambofinal is (almost) here
Our Football Jamboree 2016 is – alas – coming to an end. This Sunday is the last day when you can buy the “winning” t-shirt to secure that delightful 7mm Magnum Bullpup with gold engraving (it won’t be available in the store, ever), so place your bets and keep your fingers crossed for your favourite team to win. Following the requests from many players, we’re also releasing all the 32 national caps from theHunter Football Jamboree 2014. You can get them until the end of this week in our store.
New textures for old weapons
Recently we’ve been trying to show some love to our old content, and as part of this attempt we’ve given facelift and slight remodeling to our oldest (and arguably the least prettiest) rifles, the .243, .270 (wood), and .300 (composite) Bolt-Action Rifles. Go and check them in game to see the difference!
Happy hunting!
