    they removed 2 maps

    They didn’t remove them permanently. They just removed them to rework them for the new engine. Besides, with the new map coming out I wouldn’t have wanted to play the old ones we’ve been playing for the past years

    tanked the performance

    I’m only having issues in 1 or 2 compounds otherwise it’s the same performance as before on my end

    increased the matchmaking time tenfold

    Haven’t been my experience at all. Maybe it’s a region thing but east coast has no matchmaking time difference

    reduced server performance

    That part has indeed been more noticeable, but only had maybe 4 games where servers went to crap since the update

    screwed up the ranking system

    They haven’t change the ranking system with the update. Are you referring to the change that happened back this summer ? If so, that change has been great. Solo sweat lords that derank on purpose to try and stomp noobs was fuckib wack. Now they get to stay in their place where they should be.

    increased skin prices

    They’ve been doing that for quite a while. What does it have to do with the engine upgrade ?

    introduced countless new bugs and crashes

    Yeah true, but all games have those. Hunt is neither better nor worse then others on that front. They sure should’ve done a test server before deploying the engine upgrade, but who knows why they didn’t.

    The rest of your post is just pointless to entertain a discussion.

      A new map isn’t gonna name everybody stop playing the old ones, look at Counter Strike’s de_dust from 1999, people still play that map religiously even if there are new ones. The old maps were balanced and refined, and have been replaced with a completely imbalanced one. They’ve should’ve been available along side the new one.

      I’m running a 1080 Ti, can still do most modern games on high - ultra on 90 FPS at 1440p. Played Hunt maxed out for years no issues, now I got everything on low except textures and barely scratch 70 between compounds. Searching the Steam forums and reddit shows similar complains from other people with even better hardware than mine.

      Before I was finding players 2 seconds after I pressed search on Europe servers, now, even though player numbers skyrocketed after the patch, I can go make my self a cup of tea, come back and it’s still hasn’t found anything. Maybe it has something to do with my MMR rank.

      Speaking of, you’re right, I noticed the rank changes before the patch. I was always a 4 Star player, sometimes dipped in 5 Star after a good match, sometimes dipped into the 3 Star. Now I’m effortlessly sitting at 6 Stars. How do I know I improved skill wise if I’m already sitting at the max possible rank? Why are mediocre players like me suddenly bundled with sweatlords, who presumably are also 6 stars?

      The skins now have rareities that determine their price, this came with the new update.

      I’m not talking about minor bugs. The reason why I uninstalled is because if the boss gets killed in my compound by me or anybody else and I open the map, my game freezes and crashes on a regular basis. I validated the game files, I’ve updated my drivers, etc. It is straight up unplayable. I open the map on accident and I’m out. Again I’m not the only one with this problem. This is not some minor bug, this is absolutely unacceptable for a PvP game with permadeath. But that’s the reality of this new shitty Hunt.

      That’s why DayZ has open experimental servers running months in advance, and their push to official is largely bug free. But, oh my, Crytek wants a big reveal for big update, who cares about playability, buy our Battlelass.

      The best to come of this update was Port Sulfurs new single.
