Greetings dinosaur hunters!
This update focuses heavily on improving multiplayer synchronization and overall online stability, especially in sessions with multiple players and under higher latency conditions. Alongside the networking improvements, the update also introduces performance optimizations, trophy lodge improvements, cave and lighting fixes, and new quality-of-life features for the map editor.
Multiplayer & Networking
Added server-side hitbox rewind to match client synchronization delay to make client players be able to shoot dinosaurs the same way as the host without needing to do extra advance shots.

Beta Branch Improvements
Added new separate player and cache files for the beta branch to reduce switching issues between live and beta versions. For instance, players no longer lose their trophy lodge placements after switching between live and beta.
Localization fixes
Fixed issues with Latvian localization that were caused by font issue in language file.
Balance changes
Revolver and Pistol damage was reduced. They also have higher damage reduction over distance. This change was already in 0.127 version, but was forgotten from the patch notes.
- Revolver 1.6 dmg -> 1.1 dmg
- Pistol 0.8 dmg -> 0.6 dmg
Thank you for all the multiplayer feedback and bug reports. The reports from larger multiplayer sessions have been especially helpful in identifying synchronization and latency-related issues. More networking and gameplay improvements are already in development.
Greetings dinosaur hunters!
This update focuses on rework of the multiplayer net code in the game. Whether you now play with low or high ping with other players, the client players should now experience smooth gameplay too.
Old multiplayer system was trying to predict the future too much, which caused more glitches than any good.
Previous 0,125 update improved stability and network logic, so the game can handle more players with more stability. Combined with this update, the experience in multiplayer should now be a lot better than previously.
Multiplayer improvements
Rewritten dinosaur net code for smooth multiplayer experience. (No more rubber banding)
Improved server prioritization logic, so dinosaurs are synced more efficiently.
Fix for dead flying dinosaurs not being removed on clients that joined the game session later.
This update is part of our continued work on making multiplayer hunts feel better.
Thank you for reading and we look forward to your thoughts.

Greetings dinosaur hunters!
This update introduces several gameplay and interface improvements, including skills, scope zeroing, the long-requested prone position, HUD refinements, subtitle improvements, and support for several new languages. Backend systems were also improved to better handle queued requests.
Scope Zeroing
Scopes can now be zeroed for different distances, allowing players to better compensate for bullet drop when shooting over long ranges. After measuring distance with a rangefinder, players can adjust their scope zero to match the target distance for more precise shots.
Prone Position
Players can now go prone, allowing for a lower shooting profile and improved shooting stability. This enables more stealthy approaches and makes long-distance shooting more effective.
Skills System
A new skills system has been introduced to expand gameplay progression.
The first skills focus on scope zeroing, allowing players to improve their effectiveness at different shooting distances:
- Short Range Zeroing
- Medium Range Zeroing
- Long Range Zeroing
This system will expand in future updates with additional skills affecting various aspects of gameplay.

HUD Compass Improvements

HUD UI Improvements
Various improvements have been made to the HUD interface to improve clarity and usability during gameplay.
Subtitle Improvements
Subtitle text boxes now scale dynamically with the text, improving readability across different dialogue lengths.
Localization
Prehistoric Hunt now supports additional languages:
- Spanish

- Japanese
- Chinese (WIP)
Backend Improvements
More backend calls are now queued and processed sequentially, improving reliability and reducing issues caused by simultaneous requests.
Dinosaur Spawn Behavior Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the solo chance parameter that caused dinosaurs to spawn in groups more often than intended.
- Fixed spawn counts of some species on custom maps.
Multiplayer & Technical Improvements
- Minor fix to pellet spread calculations where a small difference existed between host and client calculations in multiplayer.
