Hunt Showdown 1.39 Patch Notes (1.7) for PS4 and Xbox One – November 23, 2021

Console Highlights

30 FPS cap removal for Xbox Series S/X and Playstation 5

With Update 1.7 we are removing the cap of 30 FPS for the Xbox Series S/X and PS5. This will allow those of you on the newest generation of consoles to play Hunt at up to 60FPS.

Reconnect Support

Update 1.7 brings with it the introduction of the Reconnect feature – the ability to reconnect to a Bounty Hunt mission in cases where your connection has been lost or the game has crashed. There are two ways in which this will attempt to restore the connection:

  • “On the Fly” 60 second reconnect:
    • In instances where you lose connection to the server, but the game client is still running, we will attempt to restore the connection and get you back into the mission.
  • Game client crash/client restart/kick to main menu reconnect:
    • In instances where either the game client crashes, or if you restart the game while in a mission, a prompt will appear which will give you the option to reconnect to the mission or abandon your hunter.
    • This prompt will show the remaining mission time, the current state of you and your teammates:
      • Alive.
      • Downed – can be revived.
      • Dead – Redskulled/cannot be revived.
      • Burning while downed (better hurry, you might be able to get back and put them out!).
