- Game Update January 10th 2017 - 10 January 2017
Hello Hunters, A short while ago we mentioned that we were working on performance improvements for theHunter: Primal. Today I am happy to announce that we have released a patch that is going to permanently solve some of the issues players were reporting, such as disappearing inventory items and connection problems. Here are the changes introduced in the patch: - Implementation of local save with Steam cloud integration and removal of the server side saves. - Save game data will be downloaded when the game is launched, meaning players will not lose equipment and/or items anymore. - Offline support has been added to the game - an online connection will no longer be required to play theHunter: Primal, however, Steam will still need to be running in the background. - The previous weight restriction has been removed from the inventory capacity. If you should experience any issues when starti…

- Interview with game designers - 2 June 2015
http://news.thehunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/primal.png Ahoy pioneers! A lot of you expressed concern that you haven’t heard from us in a while, so I’ve asked our game designers Daniel and Pär to join me for a short interview about the past, present and future of theHunter: Primal. Hi guys, thanks for agreeing to answer a couple of question. Can you briefly remind us how theHunter: Primal was hatched? As you know, the game was born as a side project alongside our main baby – theHunter. We decided to take a stab at the whole hunting dinosaurs/survival idea with a short Early Access phase which lasted from mid-December until the end of March. When we took the plunge into this adventure, we didn’t know how successful it would be, so we made a point of communicating our plans and intentions to the community early on, as well as what content and features we planned to introduce at th…
- Game Update 2015050701 - 7 May 2015
Changes Changed Quetzalcoatlus behaviour when attacking player, instead of grabbing him/her directly, it will use claw attack to lower the health and when the health is low enough it will try to grab him/her, giving the player more chances to shoot it down. Triceratops vitals tweaked, projectiles now have a harder time penetrating it. Bug fixes Fixed correct reload amount for the Riot Shotgun Improved dinosaurs behaviour when choosing target player Fix for Quetzalcoatlus getting stuck in grab animation after missing player Fix for dinosaurs rotations when in angry mode Fix for dinosaur behaviour when multiple players shoot at it (should switch target player back and forth between them) Fix for Triceratops when they flee, they would run and stop at a given distance instead of continuing fleeing Tweaked dinosaurs pathfinding map In progress Bug sweep Pathfinding fixes for the ruin locatio…
- Game Update 2015043001 - 30 April 2015
http://news.thehunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/triceratops.png Features Triceratops attack behaviour has been improved. It will not flee as often as before, and it may not even care about the player’s presence, but if it does, it will charge. It will also be more aggressive when shot. In short: It will act more like a Rhinoceros than a DeerTriceratops idle breathing sounds added Changes Weight for .50 Spec Ops Sniper Rifle is now set to 7,5 kg (25% less than before)Decreased weight for all clothing itemsIncreased minimum amount of ammo that spawn in chestsSeparated spawn chance for ammo found with and without weapons (there are higher chances of more ammo when it spawns together with a weapon)Dinos will not enter ruin locations Bug fixes Fixed correct weight for 12 Ga Riot ShotgunTriceratops collision has been tweaked to try and fix the bug where players could get inside of it whe…

- Game Update 2015040905 - 9 April 2015
Features Quetzalcoatlus loses interest in the player after a few failed attacks, or after the player survives a drop Changes Items dropped close to another bag will now be added to the existing bag instead of creating a new bag Removed the “fired at” chat message. This message only indicated that a player was firing at a dinosaur and not that the player actually hit the dinosaur. This has caused some confusion among players and bloated the chat window. This is an experimental feature and we’d like to hear your feedback on it. Added new sounds for the Quetzalcoatlus (ground impact, death sound and others) Added player gound impact sound when falling Updated translations Tweaked sound levels on night time sounds Bug fixes Fix for random crash when someone killed another player in pvp Fix for collectables giving more health then intended Fix so players recieve stat increase even if they ar…
