Update and player selection in Hunt: Showdown 1896

The developers of Hunt: Showdown 1896, a PvPvE-evacuation action game about shooters' fight against evil, have revealed the principles of selecting participants in matches, and at the same time released a patch that improves the project to version 2.1.1. Users will be able to add more arsenal and weekly quests, add NVIDIA service to the client for fine-tuning graphics, as well as fix bugs. We tell you in detail what is happening with the game at the moment.

The main feature of the released patch is that some items from the "Ghost Harvest" add-on were added to the regular content of the action movie without any changes. This concerns first of all the arsenal: for completing weekly missions you can get three modifications of Maynard's sniper rifle, bomb launcher, Rival 78 with mace, hand crossbow, shortened Auto-4 and "Gunner". Also, a bundle of dark dynamite, available at rank 46, will come in handy during the sortie.

With the update NVIDIA Profile Inspector settings became available. They allow you to set additional characteristics of render quality, bypassing the limitations of game engines. As for bug fixes, Crytek employees solved the problem with the disappearance of the cursor, improved the display of items in the store, eliminated bugs that led to hangs, crashes and incorrect selection of gamers in matches. By the way, this topic is devoted to a fresh address of the developers to the public.

The studio is working on improving the MMR system, which is responsible for the fact that in the same battle hit users with equal abilities. This involves the OpenSkill algorithm, which evaluates the behavior of gamers and allows you to calibrate sessions with greater accuracy. However, there is still an unsolved problem when beginners without experience encounter experienced shooters who have created a new account. According to the developers, the MMR of beginners is always unstable.
