Status Update

It’s going to be a short status update this week, but I hope you can forgive us, we just have a lot to do right now as you can understand.

Christmas is around the corner and we’re in the final stages of testing the new reserve, Rougarou Bayou, and the new species, the mallard duck. It will be released as soon as we feel it’s ready to be released. We really hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Good things come to those who wait… TrackIR will be back soon! We’ve fixed it and it will be released together with the new reserve and the mallard duck. We’re sorry it took so long, but better late than never!

And also, don’t forget to join the theHunter 2013 Holiday Event!

Game update

Game Update

Features
* New weapon, 6.5×55 Blaser R8 Bolt Action Rifle

Changes
* .308 “Rival” Handgun is now 8% less powerful than the .308 Anschütz Bolt-Action Rifle. Previously they both performed exactly the same but as some members of the community correctly pointed out this is unrealistic due to the difference in barrel length. This should also benefit game balance since the handgun now makes the rifle less obsolete.
* Removed extra damage multipliers from head & neck shots on Whitetail, Blacktail, Mule Deer & Coyote. Hitting the brain or neck bones still lead to instant death. This tweak should make casual headshots less attractive because you now need to hit the brain, not just any part of the head, for effective kills.

Bug fixes
* Random crash that had to do with tree stands
* Fix for being able to enter world items after they had been removed
