Hunt: Showdown 1896

Hunt: Showdown 1896

Why is no one talking about this
The matchmaking in this game is so broken. Takes so long to find randoms, then even longer to find a game, and then I get put into an empty lobby... I waited 10 minutes to be put into a game with a duo and 1 solo lmao. This is the average experience now and I play less and less because of it. Why would I wanna deal with this problem when idk... I could just play something fun?

Nah I've been playing since like 2020 and this wasn't a problem until like 6 months ago. Right before the engine update. Ever since then the matchmaking has been less than desirable. Sometimes it's fine, most of the time it's not.

"Why is no one talking about this"

You are kidding, right?
You can see threads about broken MMR or long loading times basically every second day.

ok so then why is still such a huge deal? What are you adding to this topic
Where and when do you play, and how? East - West coast US from morning to late night and in a match in a few minutes. I would say no longer than 2-3 minutes max. This is mostly random trios on bounty hunt.

Matchmaking with Randoms is no longer than 30 seconds at 5MMR on US East for me. Then maybe another 30 seconds for it to start loading the "best server"

Matchmaking itself on the other teams is definitely all over the place. I've seen full 6MMR teams and all 4MMR teams in the same round or sometimes lower. Often 2 MMR players mixed into the pack.

It's been a long long time since I've experienced an empty lobby, but I don't really play early hours of the morning though.

Some rounds feel as though they are empty, you hear nothing but then the after match report shows it was actually full.
10min matchmaking? you must be exaggerating and by a lot

I'm a 6 star, played this morning on US West, with 21k players at the time.

Nah the majority of the time its way longer than 30 seconds for me. Which is why I'm so confused about the disparity between people having my issue and people who are not. Everytime I get on there's 15k to 20k players on as well. So there should be no reason for it to be so hard to find other players

It's pretty close to 10 minutes. It took me 8 minutes to find a match this morning. Istg I use the match que to get chores done lmao. I guess I shouldn't be complaining if it makes me productive I suppose

yes, that's exactly what I just said. Idk why some people have this issue and some don't. I don't know what you're adding to this topic other than "Works on my machine" I'm glad you're finding games, and are able to play. I cannot say the same and idk why

What I'm adding to the topic is:

Your thread is titled.

"Why is nobody talking about this"

Ever thought nobody is taking about this because it's very possible that it's a YOU problem?

Have you made sure that the ports that Crytek specify are open in your router?

Also are you queuing Random DUO? If so that will take a lot longer because nobody seems to play random DUOs anymore. It's been that way since random TRIOs were added

MMR was dumb when they introduced it and then they had the population to support it.
