Attention Hunters!

We've got some exciting news about the high ping separation system that we've been trialing since March! It was designed to improve your matchmaking experience, but recent issues have prompted some important changes.

Temporary Suspension and Future Plans

We’re hitting pause on the current ping limit system in matchmaking. We recognize that it hasn’t been working as intended, so we're rolling back to rework the system and ensure it better meets your needs. While we can't provide a specific timeline just yet, rest assured that fixing this is at the top of our priority list!

The Challenges We've Faced

Our testing revealed that some players with high latency were still slipping into matches with inaccurately low ping values. This has highlighted the need for a complete overhaul of our ping calculation methods to enhance accuracy and fairness.

Your Feedback Matters!

We’re committed to refining matchmaking through direct testing in real play environments and closely monitoring your feedback. While this downtime is less than ideal, it allows us the necessary time to implement meaningful improvements.

Fixes in Progress

Thanks to your responsive input, we’ve been able to identify and resolve issues, including the rare cases of unintended cross-play between PC and Console players—something that thankfully only occurred 0.02% of the time! This has now been addressed.

Thank You for Your Understanding!

We appreciate your continued support and patience during this transition. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready for a revamped matchmaking experience that we hope will greatly enhance your gaming!

Happy Hunting from the Hunt: Showdown 1896 team!
