Developer Update | User Interface & Experience | Hunt: Showdown 1896

[@wesleygibson575]

Another very important feature that you removed: The ability to check the current Loadout of yourself and your teammates in game and with a single button (ESC)! It shows only the starting gear with multiple clicks. Additionaly the Play menu needs a quick way to check the full Loadout the Hunters without bugging out every time your teammates equip something new.

[@SouThhy95]

That! That is the most crucial removed part of the UI, especially for the newplayers or for returning players. You pick up trait "beastface" in raid, well, who knows what it does? Does it mean the face of my character is now beastial?

[@animetacoman8577]

this so much, they didnt even put something in its place, so it can slot right back where it was!

[@blaidddrwg-ye9dy]

Especially since the way you do it now removes all view of your surroundings. They took a massive leap backwards with these changes

[@AndYou.01]

Also, when you check the team loadouts while in a match, it doesn't update to show the current items each player has, it only shows the item a player entered the match with.

[@Rekettyelovag]

Also, the '"dot assignment" is gone, and I always have to ask who is who at the beginning of a game.

[@alcatraznlk2159]

Dear Developers. Making the lists scrolling horizontal instead of vertical does not make it any better. When selecting a loadout or a hunter, we need to go through pages that have 3 or 4 items at most on each page, i dont believe it is comfortable on consoles as well. Same for death screen menu, it would be better to make the icons just a little smaller so that exit from match will fit as well

[@kaaregar]

imagine having to scroll 70+ hunters...

Also, why if they have icons for ammo type, they are using a small picture of the ammo type?, as if a small bullet with a little red paint would be more clear than the icon.

[@SzurekST]

Exactly this! Good job on the grid views but there are not even words that can describe how ridiculous i find those oversized horizontal tiles in places where you need condensed readable information or quick option to pick...

[@SeriousCreeper]

It would be nice if the grid view on the hunter screen would also be saved. Right now, if you go to the grid screen, and then hit ESC/go back, it goes back to the same screen but in list view again. I'd just like to keep that screen in a grid view at all times.

[@DarthAlliance]

This

[@SyntheticsV2]

Not only that... going to grid view REMOVES the top categories like "Gear". Wth is up with that? No need for that top menu row to disappear

[@TheBizzerker]

It's not even a grid view, just an entirely separate screen that gets opened. When you hit to back out, it doesn't take you to what would otherwise be the previous screen, it just moves you out of grid view.

[@bagabeans]

He does say the third pain point fix is 'memorising filter and sorting options' which I think this would come under. It's one of my biggest annoyances with the new UI.

[@ethanware9703]

Can we do some about all the empty space. The boxes for the guns and gear is bigger then they need to be. Also bring back the cursor that'd help navigate so much quicker, and the filter disappears when you search for something compared to the old ui wich kept it saved for you

[@kstelakis]

if you have to make a developer update about the UI within 24 hours of release, it means you didnt test it at all, and just kind of threw it out. No way you tested the UX and not reliaze that everything need +5 clicks compared to before

[@cameroncox6254]

So you would have rather waited to play the update delayed after the release date was scheduled for a long time, than just play an amazing update with some needed UI fixes? That's weird. The UI needs work no doubt, but once in game, it is a great update. I'm glad I didn't have to wait to play it because some people are so upset by a UI. Especially when they respond within 10 days of the release of it on upcoming fixes.

[@user-js3mg1dc6s]

Just stop complaining, they're trying their best rn so there's no need to just amplify the harm done

[@christophermiller8589]

The fact that so many commands have to be put in to confirm stuff is wild... For every item I select in a loadout, I am kicked back out to the category menu, then have to re-enter and re-select "favorites". Compared to the old menu, a loadout I could create in about 30 seconds takes 2 to 3 minutes of fighting the UI for the same result.

[@ColeBlueford]

Also, having to double-click a lot where a single click should suffice. I doubt console players have to hit X to enter a menu, then select something, then hit X, then hit X _again_ before it actually does something, so why should we have to mouse over something, left click, then left click _again_ (or hit enter) before it actually does something?

[@Deolrin]

Thank you for the swift response, Crytek. These changes are significant, but there are a few more major pain points that should be considered: 1) Checking allied loadouts and stats (MMR etc) in the lobby and in-game should be faster and less painful and obscuring, ideally similar to how it was in the old UI. 2) Visually inspecting owned skins and equipped hunters should be similar to how buying new skins works. Currently there is no way to properly take a look at a hunter skin you own or have recruited, they are always significantly obscured by the UI and by fog. 3) Many UI elements are much bigger than they used to be. This should be a toggleable option so that people on a PC screen can see more details at once (for example, team details after the match). 4) The post-death screen has been gutted in a way that makes it much harder to see how you died and the damage history. The scroll should be vertical. 5) Many of the scrolls in the game have become horizontal instead of vertical; this is very uncomfortable for PC users, and apparently for console users as well according to user reviews. It's especially bad when there's both a horizontal and a vertical scroll at the same time. 6) Selectin a different skin for your equipment is now needlessly complex where it used to be a simple switch toggle. 7) Many of the screens that have subscreens should be unified under one single screen.

[@C_Becker]

And many more.

One of my biggest gripes is the pause menu - it is mostly empty space with the different options appearing as 6 massive, irrelevant scrolling images on the bottom of the screen, to the point one of them is even cut off (back to menu). A simple, vertical list really would not hurt here.

[@BijuuMike]

my biggest gripe right now is the loadout feature for some reason doesn't work on the consumables. It just doesn't bring them in when picking a loadout and getting multiple of 1 item is annoying because you have to exit back, select the next square then go back and get 2nd item you wanted. Before it was just double click and you can get multiple. Being able to drag and drop to sort your inventory would be amazing as well. Glad you guys are addressing it though and overall i think its a great update aside from a few bugs

[@mishegaz]

Oh you noticed that as well huh? lol. Only 6 years in mate, we'll be able to smoothly perform one of the core mechanics inside of the menu at some point right? 😀

[@otandersson]

11 CHANGES TO MAKE THE UPDATE 100X BETTER: 1. Names being shortened (eg. Crown being renamed to AUTO-5) makes the weapons feel like fortnite guns, old name system both fits into the games theme and looks better imo, i might be biased though. They probably did it to simplify the names, but that wasnt really a complaint by new players from what ive heard and seen. 2. No names next to equipped guns unless you hover, this combined with the very dark background makes it hard to differentiate guns and ammo from eachother. This gets even worse with skins, and is worse for new players especially. 3. Some menus require enter, and only enter to be pressed to exit out of. (eg. health respec screen). Making ESC work too would be much better. 4. Equipping things to your hunter makes 0 noise, which feels unresponsive. For example, when trying to equip the same tool twice (something you cant do), you get 0 feedback even though that doesent work. 5. Keybinds in the UI are bound to the same thing by default (Filter ON and Sell for example) 6. Switching between layouts (grid view) should be a saved toggle, not a temporary change that instantly reverts once you leave that menu. 7. More interactions with the mouse, please!!! For example: Clicking the "Sort By [sort type] text should work instead of pressing N or a button on the other side of the screen. 8. Clicking the same sort option multiple times toggles it even though the button always says "on". This list should also not look like multiple choice checkboxes, and would be much better if it were a "radio button" style list, where it is clear that only one can be selected at a time. 9. "Filter toggle" / greyed out "Filter ON" in the hunter grid menu does absolutely nothing since there arent filters in that menu. 10. When going to either free or all hunters in "recruit hunters", and then going back with ESC brings you to the "chose your hunter" screen instead of "recruit hunters", the previous menu. This might be intentional, but feels very unintuitive. 11. the "view legend" button (gear -> spacebar) feels like it should be a dedicated menu of some sorts, not just a loooong list hidden in a sidebar

[@Spelonker]

I do appreciate you guys are working on it, so I don't mean to be a dick when I say the new UI is just....not good. The old one wasn't great either but that was largely due to bloated barely used features like anything Trials related, or various things that got tacked on over the years. And I get that there are neat little shortcuts in there, but I have found myself doing a lot more clicking and trying to scan where all of the most vital buttons are on the page. And the horizontal scrolling just takes up too much space, especially when it comes to going through my active Hunter roster. It makes much more sense to keep that vertical. I appreciate the fixes in this video (will test them now) but I think it may be a case where the base design philosophy here just isn't working. It might have been better to just refine or iterate on the old UI and remove as much bloat from it as possible.

[@Philipp..]

@@DaveHaze I'm going to give them some credit, apparently this system was set up to be modified, which is why there should be a quick turn around. With these changes alone it's going to be way, way better. Just hope we can very easily check gear in mission again. Anyway yeah the Home tab just doesn't feel like it should exist, at least in its current state. The horizontal menus shouldn't be little icons that latently don't have text, maybe put in a tab inside Home for new players that puts you in the tutorial and has resources like links to outside guides? Put all the meta stuff in there like news updates, sales, stuff like that, don't have a weird redundancy.

[@naldormight6420]

Old Hunter roster overview was perfectly fine. It gave me all the information I wanted and needed. And equipping a skin for my selected weapons is tedious. - This is not the space to advertise skins I do not own! Just revert to the old system - one click the skin changes and the change is automatically saved.

[@sundewakona1549]

There are some pain points, however you can change your gun skin once and it will stay that way forever, until you change it again. And adding a screen to see all the skins you dont have for your specific weapon is just good marketing and i appreciate it.

The new map is a magnificent job no one can say other things than positive thoughts. BUT The thinking behind realizing a less intuictive and very less practical ui is a big problem.

I think one of the biggest concerns a player base can have besides a lack of communication, is that changes negatively impacting their experience may end up staying around for a long time or forever. I also think there's a fear that there's a limited opportunity to hook new and returning players in to increase the player base, and that such a bad experience can put them off giving the game another chance. There's obviously more to be done than just what is mentioned in this video, but that is acknowledged and a short term plan going forward is laid out. Thanks for addressing this as quickly as you have :)

Please also take a look at performance issues - major one being map doesn't unload correctly and clogs up VRAM. I am aware 8GB vram on 3070 isn't super great, but it is a recommended amount via stats and should be enough, however the game often tops on vram and lags down to 20fps until old compound is fully unloaded.

[@darkman30200]

They didn't respond to the feedback (favorably) of the original UI showcase when they showed it off though, even though everyone told them they hated it. They had to wait until after they started getting negative reviews on steam about it before they took the criticism seriously. Then their communication was essentially "Yeah well, deal with it" in how they pretty much blew it off. So you're right, they responded and communicated.

[@cameroncox6254]

​@@darkman30200When are you referring to? The update was just released on the 15th and it's only the 21st, so they responded pretty quickly and I didn't see anywhere that they said "just deal with it" I think having played through many updates it's safe to say they are great with communication and responding and implementing feedback. Especially compared to other games like call of duty, Apex, halo infinite, they are way ahead in the communication compared to most games. People could be a bit more realistic with feedback expectations. It definitely sucks they were review-bombed negatively so quickly with such a good update outside of some needed UI fixes. They communicated they are fixing it within 10 days. That's pretty responsive, right?

this just proves that in my eyes, you guys are the absolute best game devs out there. So many companies don't listen to player feedback, and even though hunt has been review-bombed and the constructive criticism has been less 'constructive' and more 'destructive', you still listened. That much hate coming a whole community must be very daunting, but you took it in your stride and provided an eloquent and calm solution, so that just makes what you guys do that much more precious. The fact that you all even went to the trouble of making visual representations of the upcoming changes is so wonderful and indicative of the value of player-developer communication. Other game companies could certainly learn a thing or two from your team.

[@TroutBag]

1. Consumables disappear when loading a loadout. 2. You can't equip 2 legendary skinned Borheims with quartermaster. You have to use the vanilla skin 3.The new sound is muffled and hard to distinguish if hunters are upper or lower when next to you 4. The lobby is hot trash. So many small buttons and menus. Team loadouts and chat should be front and center (like old Hunt) 5. The UI is absolute garbage. Give a 2 week notice to everyone involved. 6. Burning out hunters is too quick. There needs to be a longer timer. Teammate dies and lit on fire while i'm getting chased by bees and AI. I need more time to pick up my team 7. Getting caught on fire by burning hunters is dumb af 8. Trees are providing way too much cover. This map is a campers paradise. 9. Make the ammo and gun icons bigger in the loadout screen. I can't tell what type of ammo a hunter is using even when hovering over it. 10. I should be able to select a hunter and start putting items in the loadout without having to select the hunter I just selected. 11. Region lock ASIA! I shouldn't be playing with Chinese and Korean hackers. 12. I should be able to right click on items to get rid of them in the load out. Besides the terrible UI and garbage sound, the game is amazing looking and smoother. Great job

Hi, thank you for a fast feedback from players, the new interface is bad, but we all hope the new one was good. Also me and my friends have some problems and bugs with the main gameplay process. We have some bugs with interface - when you uses the preset of hunter and have 2 same items like TNT or Surigene, it dont buy it, also when you runing or doing smth in the game we have a problem when hunt begins to run in some direction by himself, or when you use melee atack of main weapon it`s sticked in this position.

[@Twiggyshayz]

Thank you so much for addressing these issues so quickly! You guys are the best, and besides this UI, this whole update is mind blowing. Some stuff that I would personally like to see in the UI are: - The option to choose a default healthbar / perks configurations so that you won't have to do this every time with every hunter you recruit, that would be massive in streamlining the whole in-between matches experience. - The screen with all hunters in the game - maybe it exists with the new UI and I just couldn't find it myself, but it seems like the screen which is supposed to list all the hunter that exist in the game currently only shows the DLC & BB hunters, and doesn't show any of the past events / Twitch hunters.

[@merzofficial1443]

This isn't a "we'll tweak a few things to make it better" situation. This is quite possibly the worst game menu/lobby interface ever created. You should honestly fire your UI/UX team. Did they test? Was there QA involved with pro players? It seems not. People have been complaining about Hunt's UI and designing mockup interfaces on reddit for years, but you have not taken any of the suggestions. You designed the interface to show LESS things, LARGER, on multiple sliding panels with inconsistent key bindings, and centered the design around consoles -- which is not your predominant audience (in fact you lost some console users that did not have the hardware requirements with this update). Crytek needs to hire an outside UI/UX team as a consultant to mockup how the menus and lobby should work. Show all your available hunters on one screen again. Show most/all the weapons and options when loading out a hunter. Make things drag/drop. Don't do obviously silly things like Quit -> Quit -> Are you Sure Quit? or having a twistie in the settings menu for one menu item. Take some lessons in UI/UX design. You could not have messed this up worse if you tried.
