Update 1.1: Our First Post-Launch Patch

Way of the Hunter 2 has been out for a few days, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been playing, supporting us, and joining us on the hunt since release. We hear you loud and clear and we’re reading your feedback, reports, and discussions across the community. Your feedback is already helping us shape what comes next.

Our first post-launch update, patch 1.1, brings a number of fixes and improvements, including new inverted horizontal and vertical look settings, improved default deadzone settings to help with stick drift on a controller, and menu navigation using the left analog stick. We’ve also addressed issues with multiplayer vehicles and clip-ons, gear and ammo stats, dog animations, UI markers, and more.

We’re also adding new features, including the ‘Long-Term Weather Forecast’. This gives you more control over the weather conditions you experience in each hunting ground, allowing you to choose when you want to hunt in specific conditions.

To keep things simple and avoid unnecessary frustration, the ability to change the likelihood of snowy weather is separate from animal aging.

More updates are coming soon

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be closely monitoring the issues and feedback being reported by the community. In the first weeks after release there will have increased frequency of patches, allowing us to address more of the issues being reported by players as well as improve the overall experience faster.

Please keep the feedback coming! And if you encounter a bug or other issue, don’t forget to report it through our official bug reporting tool so our team can investigate it properly (link below, under patch notes).

Thank you once again for being with us from day one. We’re listening, we’re working, and this is only the beginning.
