Crytek previously implemented a ping limit system in matchmaking for Hunt Showdown 1896. It was intended to improve player matchmaking, but practice showed that the system could malfunction.
Due to this, the creators of Hunt Showdown 1896 made a decision to temporarily disable the system:
“We want to restore an updated version as soon as possible. However, we cannot provide an exact timeline yet [...]
We discovered that the ping limit system inadvertently created an issue where players who typically have high ping were still able to enter matchmaking with a ping lower than their actual value. Therefore, the ping calculation requires refinement for more accurate reporting.
The matchmaking changes we were exploring need to be tested in a live environment to properly evaluate their success, and we closely monitored the data and feedback as we adjusted the system.”
