Hello Hunters,
After gathering information and logs from you we have now released a patch to address the level and item reset issue. We hope that this will now be stable for all players and you will no longer experience any issues with it.
Here are the patch notes from today:
*Removed all steam cloud saving functionality
*Added full local saving functionality to the game
* We fixed the achievement 'Bloodbath' to trigger correctly once 25 players were harvested.
You can discuss the patch in this Thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/322920/discussions/3/133257636770883959/
Thank you all very much for your patience and help!
Cheers,

Hello Hunters,
A short while ago we mentioned that we were working on performance improvements for theHunter: Primal. Today I am happy to announce that we have released a patch that is going to permanently solve some of the issues players were reporting, such as disappearing inventory items and connection problems.
Here are the changes introduced in the patch:
- Implementation of local save with Steam cloud integration and removal of the server side saves.
- Save game data will be downloaded when the game is launched, meaning players will not lose equipment and/or items anymore.
- Offline support has been added to the game - an online connection will no longer be required to play theHunter: Primal, however, Steam will still need to be running in the background.
- The previous weight restriction has been removed from the inventory capacity.
If you should experience any issues when starting up the game the first time after the changes, please restart Steam as well as Primal and after that you should be able to play normally again. The same applies to spawning with an empty inventory.
EDIT: We have released a 2nd patch. You can find the patch notes in this Steam announcement: http://steamcommunity.com/games/322920/announcements/detail/248095310212678462
Cheers,

Ahoy pioneers!
Have we got great news for you? Sure we have! A new, long awaited Primal expansion – the Queen. Following this release (read the details in the patch notes), we’ll be taking a stab at bugs and we’re also eager to hear your feedback on the present and future of theHunter: Primal, so a player survey is coming your way really soon.
And now… the Queen!
Face off against the brutal Queen of Primal Eden. Hunt down rare dinosaurs to pick up equipment that will aid you and, in a final showdown, go up against the toughest prey you’ll ever encounter.
The reasoning behind this release is to give players an ultimate trophy to strive for, and the spoils to make it worthwhile. By killing a Primal T-Rex you’ll be rewarded with weapons and equipment courtesy of the good guys at the Expansive Galaxies Corporation. These items are exclusive to the Pioneers that manage to slay the Primal T-Rex and will not be found in any chests on Primal Eden. Once you manage to get a weapon or piece of equipment it will be unlocked for you in the store for future purchases.
How do you get a shot at these goodies then? Well, every Gold Level Achievement T-Rex will drop a scent gland. Once this gland is equipped and placed in an open field that normally harbours T-Rexes, the Queen will come stomping into the scene looking for a fight. Be sure to be prepared once she appears because this is the toughest creature you’ll ever have to deal with.
Happy hunting!

Ahoy pioneers! A lot of you expressed concern that you haven’t heard from us in a while, so I’ve asked our game designers Daniel and Pär to join me for a short interview about the past, present and future of theHunter: Primal.
Hi guys, thanks for agreeing to answer a couple of question. Can you briefly remind us how theHunter: Primal was hatched?
As you know, the game was born as a side project alongside our main baby – theHunter. We decided to take a stab at the whole hunting dinosaurs/survival idea with a short Early Access phase which lasted from mid-December until the end of March. When we took the plunge into this adventure, we didn’t know how successful it would be, so we made a point of communicating our plans and intentions to the community early on, as well as what content and features we planned to introduce at the full release.
How did it go?
It’s been an extremely intense, fun and rewarding time for us! The Primal community was engaged and enthusiastic right away, we were receiving tons of feedback and the work was humming non-stop for an entire three months.
How would you evaluate the results?
Well, we managed to pull it off in such a short space of time and deliver on everything we’d planned (and more). As we promised back in December, we released two new dinosaur species, an in-game currency reward and XP system, an in-game store, PvP mechanics and team support, 2 new weapons, localization into 12 languages and, in close collaboration with the community, we did lots of tweaking, polishing and bug fixing (someone counted that we’ve implemented over 250 separate changes and bug fixes).
Did everything go according to the initial plan?
Of course not, this is game development after all. For one, there were a couple of unplanned features and changes we brought in because players really wanted (and frankly deserved) them, such as stacking and splitting ammo, new weather and sound effects, removal of the annoying disconnect screen, an improved technical solution for hosting multiplayer games and other minor things.
Then, after the full release on March 31st we received a great deal of feedback regarding the flying dinosaur Quetzalcoatlus, dino AI, lack of weapons and persistence of bugs, which we of course had to act on. This in a way prolonged the initially planned development phase during which we were releasing weekly updates with bug fixes, dinosaur AI tweaks, 4 new weapons and rare dinosaur achievements.
So, what now?
We all love Primal here and we hope that in the future we’ll be able to bring in more updates to the game and maybe even new content, but right now the primary focus of the team is on the flagship product of our studio – theHunter. This doesn’t mean we’ve abandoned or given up on Primal, but please expect less frequent patches and communication in the near future. You can be assured that we’re reading and keeping track of all feedback, and we’re also planning to release the occasional game update from time to time. Please stay tuned!
And the last question, what has been your favourite thing about theHunter: Primal?
Daniel: I think the best thing about Primal is that the gameplay still is so intense even though I have been working on the game since day one. I know what is going on behind the scenes but I still get scared when I hear those damn Utahraptors calling from the shadows in the forest.
Pär: For me it is probably the variation. You need a totally different mindset when thinking about the design for Primal in comparison to theHunter. The gameplay, pacing and goals in Primal are so unlike theHunter which makes it quite refreshing and exciting to work with.
Thanks for your time guys, and happy hunting!
