Way of the Hunter 2 is officially out on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S! We're aware of a few issues in the current release and are actively working on fixes. Below is a list of known issues we're tracking, along with workarounds where available. This list will be updated as new issues are found and existing ones are resolved.
The most recent version of the game is 1.2.213891 you can read more info and the full patch notes HERE. For more info on what's coming next, please check out our roadmap and FAQ.
If you run into something not listed here, please report it via our THQN bug database via this link - details on how to report a bug and attach your saved files can be found HERE. Some of you have experienced login errors on the bug reporting site - we've identified the cause: logging in via Xbox Live can trigger an error on the site. Until this is fully resolved, please log in with a different platform account when submitting a report, and mention which platform you're actually playing on (ideally also right in the title).
Thank you for your support, happy hunting!
Multiplayer:
Client may experience some of the following issues:
Player's SP-discovered map doesn't carry over to Multiplayer
Client crashes when Host switches to any Caller or Scent
Animals hunted by Client have a chance to disappear on their own while the Host is far away
Difficulty successfully and consistently hitting animals when they are in motion
Temporary instances of desync in certain situations, resolved by closing the distance to the Host, or by waiting briefly
Rare instances of being unable to interact with doors and parking signs, resolved by reconnecting to the session
Animal sounds may not be audible
It is possible to join a session via an invite without having completed the Tutorial first, leading to a locked state. This is resolved by deleting the save files manually, and prevented by completing the Tutorial before trying to participate in Multiplayer.
(Xbox) Inventory may clear after fast-travel
Crash caused by the Host using Buffden Apex Predator
Performance:
GPU Crash occurs after entering a Hunting Reserve, Exiting, then Entering another different Hunting Reserve while Alt-Tabbed in Loading Screen
Animals flashing/disappearing visual effect when viewed through binoculars
Game crashes repeatedly on AMD GPU since v1.1
(PC) Antialiasing > FSR option may not take effect, resolved by setting to TSR first, then FSR

Fallen snow disappears in a small circle under the player's feet
Animal droppings and footprints are not visible in fallen snow
Other:
Taxidermy: Displayed trophies may disappear from the lodge
Localization: Some UI texts are untranslated. In non-English languages, some texts may still appear untranslated (in English or as placeholder text). This affects the claim screen, the encyclopedia (for example the choke pattern spread entries), selling/discarding items, and some settings descriptions (difficulty, binocular modes, global illumination).
Equipped items may stay invisible after sleeping or fast traveling
Displayed taxidermies are disappearing from player’s save files when leaving/joining the game
Packing up decoys via map returns only one of them back to storage and others disappear
Integrix scope reticle scale incorrect (~1.65 mRad instead of 1 mRad)
