We’ve got another patch for Way of the Hunter 2 now live. Patch 1.2 is all about fixes and improvements based on the feedback you’ve been sending our way. We really appreciate everyone taking the time to report bugs, share videos, and let us know when something isn’t quite right. If you encounter a bug or other issue, please report it through our official bug reporting tool via this link, so our team can investigate it properly, thank you!
There's a lot packed into this patch, including a new option to sell items from your Storage (for half of their original price), aim assist that now accounts for wind, a brighter flashlight, and better dog and turkey behavior. In multiplayer, the encyclopedia is no longer empty and accepting an invite on a fresh game no longer softlocks. There are also fixes for missions, weather, and plenty of spots across the reserves where you could get stuck.
One fix we especially want to highlight is disappearing tents and deployables. We know this has been a frustrating problem for some of you. We've found a likely cause and made a fix for it in this patch, so it's a great time to pitch your tent and head back out into the reserves. Please let us know how things look after the patch. And if you still run into the problem, tell us about it, especially if it happens in a different situation than before. That information can help us track down any remaining cases.
Patch 1.2 is coming to PC (GOG) over the next few days, hang tight.
And of course, we’re already working on the next update. It will bring more fixes and improvements, but also a couple of new features that will be completely free for everyone.
More on that soon, keep your eyes out!
