Bloodhunt is all set to launch in Early Access on the PC (Steam), and here is a list of all the bugs and known issues you can expect. We have also discussed some workarounds that may help you get around those annoying known issues that have made it to the game’s pre-beta stage for the public.
The game has gone through a number of changes and updates since the Closed Alpha, and we have the complete list of Early Access patch notes here. Since you are here to know more about the Bloodhunt bugs and known issues, let’s discuss that in the next section.
Bloodhunt Bugs and Known Issues
Here is an official list of all the Bloodhunt known issues, revealed by Sharkmob, as of updated on September 14, 2021:
Traversal
While the developers have done multiple bug fixes to various locations where the player could get stuck or not traverse upon, there are still several places where this can occur.
Sharkmob have also identified an issue where players who are returning to the Elysium from Prague may end up floating in the air, unable to walk around in the Elysium. Should this happen, you can either matchmake again or restart your client to be able to move around in the Elysium.
Game Crashes on DX12
If you have an NVIDIA card, chances are that your game is crashing due to it running on DX12, here’s what you need to do:
Game Starts Without Crashing
- Go to settings
- Turn off DX12 in Advance Graphics Settings
Game Crashes On Startup
- Go to: c:\users\<username>\AppData\Local\Tger\Settings\GraphicsSettings.json
- Change “bUseDX12”: true, to“bUseDX12”: false,
Game Still Crashes
If above did not solve your issue, it may be because you are running the Rivaturner overlay. Try to disable/quit the overlay and relaunch the game.
Text and Localization
The game has multiple texts that are cutoff or missing, and in some cases even incorrect, both in the menus and in the in-game chat UI. The developers are still working on fixing bugs related to this area.
Gamepad
Gamepad support is not fully implemented yet, and we are working on improving the gamepad experience. For now, Sharkmob highly recommends that players use mouse and keyboard if able.
Inviting Friends
While the developers are happy to have this feature available, please keep in mind that there are several issues to consider while using it.
- Players are currently unable to add their stream friends as Sharkmob account friends. As a workaround, please add them as Sharkmob account friends for now.
- Players who have been invited to a different Elysium instance are unable to send group invites afterwards. As a work around, please restart your game client before inviting if this scenario occurs.
- Player names may not show up correctly in the Elysium social tab, even though they should.
- If a player changes group they may end up in an incorrect Elysium session, if the player had already transitioned between different Elysium session previously.
Sharkmob will be working hard to improve the experience when it comes to playing with friends and hope to release improvements in the near future.
Challenges Resetting if the Player Quits a Game Mid-Match
Bloodhunt counts its progression once the match has ended for the player. If the player quits mid-game the challenges and rewards progress will reset to the state it was prior to the match. This is as intended, but the developers wanted to make you are aware of this.
VOIP
The developers have identified an issue that is affecting our VOIP functionality when players change party members in their Coterie or when jumping between servers. If you are unable to connect to VOIP after playing a group game, restart your client and regroup with your friends to make it function again.
This is a work around until the developers are able to solve the issue.
