Please fix the latency/ping issues

[Sloth The 7th]

I am a Canadian player, forced to play US East/US West but, time and time again I get latency issues, ping issues, server issues. Is there any chance we'll be able to get some decent Canadian servers? Being killed after killing someone or having them react as if you are standing still for a second too long is becoming an issue.

Let me explain how Hunt works and why in fact the community should review its acceptance of this product.

Crytek is a company that went bankrupt and has been trying to recover mainly with Hunt, selling skins mainly.

The game at the core of its construction, has the economy of money. Crytek to ECONOMIZE, put a few very few servers around the world and for everyone to be able to play, they added internet rules that make these bizarre connections happen.

They will not fix it and are not concerned about your experience playing the game, if they were going to fix it, they would have done it already. The game has had connection problems for years.
If you really want to get good at this game, I advise another game.

Play Hunt for fun, the game is technically compromised by the netcode.

Having only two US servers helps keep the west coast alive. Even Rust with all its servers has a paucity of west coast options.
Having less servers helps consolidate the player base into parts large enough for the matchmaking to work well and for the game to have matches at all times.

I can even play Hunt in the early morning. There a some games where I would have to go to the east coast just to find someone awake and ready to play.

I prefer the results of Hunt to Rust.


With that said, I hope they get a Canadian server going for you mate.



And I don't find the games networking infrastructure to be lacking. It is par for the course in most respects. But in some it is even better than most.
Such as ping stability and stability in general. The US servers are SOLID.

BTW about that bankrupt thing. That was only one branch of crytek that had a bankruptcy. Not the whole business. There is quite a difference between those two.

They certainly are not going to add more.

Penny pinching

Exactly! They are not going to invest in this game on this kind of issue. The focus is on squeezing milk out of that cow.

Cyrtek shutdown the american (and sold off the UK studios) in 2014, following not paying staff for 6 months.. then shut down FIVE more in 2016. They're all part of the same company, Jesus duncan you just cant not lie can you? :D see a therapist!

They should go the smart route, and put a giant server cluster in the middle of the US. and have everyone connect to that middle server. West coast to middle us is 40-50 ping. Which is "good" by all means for FPS gaming. East coast to middle us is 40-50, again, good by all means. And then you would have people playing in middle US, with 5-30 ping. That puts the entire gaming market into a fair segment.

As it stands, I get 5-30 ping for east servers and 60-90 for west-coast servers. So middle US would be smarter. But we still don't have many server farms in the middle of the usa.... Kansas, nebraska, iowa, missouri, great place to put server hub for the entire US to get fair ping for gaming.... Hell they could run their own servers if they dont already. Purchase a small building in one of those 4 states, get it super fast internet, install a server hub with some decent hardware. boom. instant win. I feel like northern Kansas would be best.....

I could go for that. My ping might be a little higher, but Id call it fair trade to have everyone in one pool of players.

This is getting kind of ridiculous. I thew a dynamite that never went off on dry no gas/smoke ground in the same room as me.
