Howdy hunters,

Welcome to another status update, second this week. Yes, a lot of stuff is happening here, and we believe that there is no such thing as too much communication 😉

Continuous work on game quality

Yesterday we released another game update, most likely the last this year, with a lot of bug and crash fixes, changes and tweaks to make the game more enjoyable for all of you. Following your feedback, Wolf permitted ammo has seen some tweaks and now corresponds to that of Coyote. You can find the complete list here.

Not everything is fixed, and we continue working on existing issues, including the launcher patching problem. The launcher is certainly a very special beast, and working with its code requires very meticulous work and patience, but it looks like we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and the problem will hopefully soon be fixed for those of you who have been plagued with full download after certain patches. As the holiday and vacation season is approaching, we probably won’t release the fix this year, but we are committed to doing it as soon as possible early next year.

Bits and bobs from the Holiday Season

Speaking about holidays, now is the perfect time to sum up 2016 and look back at what we have (or have not) achieved in the last year. Come join the discussion, we all are super curious to learn about your personal highs and lows!

The Ultimate Bear Hunter event

As you know, our Black and Brown bears have recently received a thorough overhaul and now look so much cooler and more realistic, while sounding more dangerous. To give you an additional incentive to check them out and enjoy their new looks and animations, we are launching a small bear event with a special set of missions. The Ultimate Bear Hunter 2016, in which you will get to hunt all four of them in pursuit of a unique trophy. There is also a bundle in the store with some equipment that can come in handy for hunting all the different bears of the EHR. The missions and bundle will be available until the end of the year.

Adjustment of EUR em$ prices on Steam

This update only affects players located in Europe who purchase em$ via Steam. Today we made an adjustment to the em$ prices on Steam (in Euro/EUR) to adapt to the currency exchange development. Please note that prices on our website will not change, nor will localized Steam prices for other regions outside the European Union. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

That’s it from us for today, happy hunting!
