Why don't Crytek ever give updates on problems
It's quite clear to read on here that lots of people are having issues with DLC not being available.

Yet nothing in the announcements discussions, here or on Social Media

Turn a blind eye like it's not happening perhaps?

Edit my mate Waldo is also experiencing this now and has reported to Crytek via their support portal.

I've seen at least 2 people have reported it directly to Crytek through the support portal with no response yet.

We might get another double event point weekend at this rate.

Their response:

Hi Player.

Thanks for your message.

This is temporary technical issue related to the fluctuation of the Steam network and it will be resolved soon and you will regain access to your content shortly.

We apologize for the inconvenience it means and we hope for your continued patience.

Best regards,

Samoletik

Tbh given crytek's chops with coding in the past... i wouldn't be surprised if they've done something dumb like put "drop table" in their DLC name >.<

The DLC authentication server might have died or EAC is blocking it. 😄

Actually, interesting history. They didn't.... Crytek closed the studio who made hunt showdown so pretty much 0 of the original team who designed it are working on it now.

So thanks for the input :) /sarcasm off

you mean they closed the studio that did the PVE COOP shooter that NEVER got done? yeah that studio is closed. dont think the one that did release current hunt is closed tho

Cryteks main devs will 100% be working on the Crysis 4 development. They gotta get that to AAA status

Hunt is a great game with poor implementations, hopefully the new engine will help.

It's far from being a AAA title though and the playerbase shows that.

It's simple to just look at the amount of reviews the game has compared to the people that actually play it.

5 of my real life friends own Hunt and I don't think any of them have gotten beyond a maximum of 10 hours, but play other games weekly at least.

You're welcome. You're also wrong, the above poster is correct.

For your reading enjoyment:
"Hunt: Showdown was originally in development at Crytek USA, who wished to create a spiritual successor to Darksiders—a video game series developed by their predecessor, Vigil Games—under the title Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age. It was envisioned to be a cooperative multiplayer game. After the initial announcement in June 2014, Crytek USA was shut down due to financial issues, and the development was brought to the Crytek headquarters in Germany. The game, under the new title Hunt: Showdown, was re-announced in May 2017 and became a competitive multiplayer game"

The devs were working on this for years before it was released in 2019.

so you base that thing about crysis4 on what? because hunt is their only real cash flow currently.

and many games have players that stop playing.. doesnt rly mean anything.

what do your friends have to do with anything?

1. Crysis 4 is possibly the last chance for Crytek as it's evident that Hunt is never going to be so big that it makes them a AAA developer again. So naturally they will put their best Devs to work on it.

2. Players that enjoy a game and have a good experience with it simply don't stop playing.

3. Real life example of 6 people I personally know and 5 of them bought the game and don't play it.l and barely did. That's not very good statistics to me.

Ah so you don’t understand game development, gotcha :)

The original source code was for a coop multiplayer by one team, another team took that code and changed it to a pvp. So my point still stands.

1. so you just think that

2.players stop playing games cause they get tired from it shocker.

3. reallife bias. my friends that bought the game play. not every day but atleast when events are on regular.

1. Yes that's what I think and Crytek is a business, so why wouldn't they put their best Devs into their big project? The fact that Hunt is still broken after 5 years says alot

2. Over 1 million people play Counterstrike daily and it's decades old. .

3. They stopped playing it in under less than 10 hours, it certainly wasn't game fatigue.

Are you Dune Goat in Disguise?

No, it does not. Stand your ground if you like, it's a trivial matter.
