How to fix Hunt: Showdown not working

Hunt: Showdown is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Close Hunt all the way and relaunch

   Backing out to the main menu can leave you stuck on the same failed connection, so quit the game before you try again. On PS5, highlight the game on the home screen, press Options and pick Close Game; on Xbox, press the Xbox button, highlight the game, press the Menu button and choose Quit. On PC, check Task Manager for a leftover Hunt process before you press Play in Steam.

2. Restart your router and check your online membership

   Unplug the router for about 30 seconds and plug it back in, and switch to a wired connection if you can, because Wi-Fi drops often show up as a lost connection to the server mid-match. Console players also need an active PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass membership that covers online play. Without one, matchmaking won't start.

3. Verify the game files or power-cycle your console

   In your Steam Library, right-click Hunt: Showdown 1896, open Properties, go to Installed Files and click Verify integrity of game files. Steam replaces missing or corrupted files, which fixes a lot of crashes at launch. On consoles, skip Rest Mode: choose Turn Off PS5 from the power menu, or hold the Xbox power button for 10 seconds to shut it down and clear its cache.

4. Reinstall Hunt: Showdown 1896

   When the problem only affects you and nothing else has worked, uninstall the game and download it again, which takes a while because the install is large. On PC, right-click the game in Steam and choose Manage, then Uninstall; on PS5, press Options on the game tile and select Delete. On Xbox, open Manage game and add-ons from the Menu button.

While Hunt: Showdown is down: what to use instead

• Escape from Tarkov If you want the same slow, tense loop of looting a map and getting out alive, Tarkov on PC scratches that itch while the bounty servers are unreachable.
• Arc Raiders Try it on PC, PS5 or Xbox for a third-person extraction shooter.
• Twitch streams of the game When streamers are still in matches while you are stuck on the connecting screen, the fault is more likely your platform login or your own network than the game's servers.
• Another online game on the same platform Launch something else online through Steam, PlayStation or Xbox, because if that also fails to connect, the platform is the problem and not Crytek.

Problems at the same time as Hunt: Showdown

Since 6 October, all 3 of Hunt: Showdown's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.
