Private Match Servers

#1

Hello,

I’m having a ton of fun playing this game and got a handful of buddies to pick it up as well (on PC). We have had really good experiences queuing up as a fireteam, but when we have 5 players and are running private matches the connections are chuggy and pings seem to soar, depending on the player that hosts. I believe this is because Private Matches are not using the dedicated servers that Quick Play has and the host’s connection/pc is truly hosting the match.

What is the likelihood of private matches getting the same dedicated servers that 5 players in quick play have? If they already do, is there another solution for improved connections in Private Matches compared to Quick Play?

Also, I really like the Predator vocal mimicry, but we’re missing one option. “Want some candy?” from Predator 2! :)

Thanks! Looking forward to many more matches in Hunting Grounds.

I have been through and through with @Courier on this.

To this date they are expecting us to expect they are working HARD on the game to increase our want and need to play this game.

Unfortunately bowing down to bigger Titles and trying to piggy back off of “Last of Us 2”, launch stating:

“We know what were doing for this weekend”.

Everyone has lives to, I get it, but they are literally poking the bear when it comes to their fanbase imo with comments and actions like these.

Gives me the impression they arent taking themselves too seriously and arent overly worried their IP is going to fail…

Cause you know… predator being one of the biggest sci-fi names in the industry…

Kinda sad as a deluxe edition backer to literally know how much effort is being poured into this game…

Doesnt seem like much, but apparently the odd reply happens.

No ETA in sight.

Maybe as our new game mode, were going to recieve:

“WORKING PRIVATE MATCHES”!

Just because you don;t hear anything doesn’t mean they are not working hard. I mean jesus were in a pandemic right now as it is. People have no patience and sound like entitled children. I mean it’s not like you know how development works or are in the field for game making.

This mechanic has been broken for a month.

What seems to be on purpose.

I’ve literally spent my entire life in PR and customer service.

If this were any other company attached to any other IP.

Would have been belly up by now.

Cool, so dont release a game in a pandemic?

Any and all of this aggravation can only be blamed on either Sony’s corporate agenda and/Or Illfonics promise to deliver.

Seriously doubt how my feelings about this game can be undermined, ESPECIALLY how private lobbies have been taken away without a peep.

They thought they would get away with dropping a game that was even worse off than the BETA WEEKEND.

Surprised people still can make excuses for Illfonic, when they had no problem releasing 1/10th of a game.

Taking right steps with a bump in their social media PR and promise on delivering content.

Great first steps!

Bumping this because it needs it. (Thought I’d search before making a new post).

Please create dedicated servers for private matches.
This Peer-to-Peer shit is terrible and extremely limiting.

You could even utilise some criteria and filtering. So Private matches where all players are <150ms ping remain Peer-to-Peer, but if this is not the case, provide the group a dedicated server.

You could also look at the opening up the ability for players to pay for a Dedicated server. It’s a slippery slope, but it’s worked in other games.
