Hunt Showdown 1896 Patch 2.0.0.7 Resolves GPU Shadows and Crashes

Hunt Showdown 1896 patch 2.0.0.7 fixes shadow rendering for older AMD GPUs, resolves combat stutters, and eliminates instant-revive exploits.

Crytek has deployed patch 2.0.0.7 for Hunt Showdown 1896, focusing on stability improvements, rendering fixes for older hardware, and combat exploit corrections.

Performance and Hardware Fixes

The update introduces an engine change to restore proper shadow rendering for users playing on AMD Vega and Polaris 500 GPUs, though performance on these cards may remain below optimal levels. Stuttering issues occurring when approaching or fighting the Hellborn have been fixed, alongside optimizations for specific areas that caused frame drops upon entry.

Stability and Exploit Corrections

Random crashes occurring during gameplay or upon launching the application have been resolved. The patch eliminates an exploit that allowed players to instantly revive themselves after death without waiting for the required duration. Furthermore, fixes were applied to restore access to Statistics and Last Mission screens and to remove overlapping text in the lobby and matches. On PlayStation, a bug preventing the Northern Justice DLC from unlocking after purchase has also been fixed.

Why this patch matters

Patch 2.0.0.7 addresses critical stability hurdles, hardware rendering bugs, and gameplay exploits to smooth out the core match experience.
