Hopefully someone can help me with this.
Downloaded the client on Sunday, had a great time exploring and finally bagging my first mule deer with a 298ft shot. Bagged about another 4 since, but not from such a range.
Anyway Monday evening I click 'Go Hunting' from the home page then click on the white 'Go hunting' button. Only to be greeted with a 'page could not be displayed' error. Had to redownload the client late Monday to play again.
Ok go on tonight and exactly the same issue is present. The 'Go Hunting' button launches IE8, attempts to call a page via the emote client but nothing responds.
It's almost like the registry on my PC is losing the association between IE8 and their emote clients request.
•Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.
Any one had this happen to them before and have a solution?
The Hunter website doesn't seem to have a Technical Support section.
Very frustrating, looks like a nice update was added today and I was hoping to check it out.

Although I've never had anything like that, have you tried using another browser like firefox?
Anyway, you can get hold of the support guys here [email protected] they are really helpful, every time I've contacted them I usually get a reply back within an hour, from a human who doesn't use scripted answers too

yep very good at human type replies.respond pretty quickly.
as for the update its brilliant.made the game a lot better. the animation of the animals is spot on now and the little quirks they have is very life like.
one thing i love even though i nearly had a heart attack when it happened
was when you startle one like a elk and it like stampedes by you. i could here something then a giant elk jumped over my head ! with me nearly jumping out my chair and my missus laughing at me 
sounded like a train . had quite a few nice elk 5 or 6 in a row few whites and couple decent turkey. all in all loving it again and worthy additions.
also supposedly more news to come. keeps up like this with the updates wow it might even stop mwe playing cods altogether !

Patch Notes – 18th June 2009
Postby Matt Sansam on Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:24 pm
Web Client
New Functionality
* New Boone & Crockett clothing released - available for purchase from Doc's outfitters, these items will give you some added cover in the field
* Wallet added - keep track of all your em$ transactions
* Clothing is now controlled via the website - you will be able to select which clothes you want to wear before you enter the EHR, and those items will be reflected in the 3D client
* With the release of the new 3D client (see below) the leaderboards have been reset - winners from the previous season will be immortalised in the hall of fame shortly
Bug Fixes
Scoresheets
* Fixed an issue where negative scores could sometimes appear on the scoresheets
Competitions
* The text description for the Top Turkey competition had the wrong days specified, this has been fixed
General
* Fixed an issue where sometimes an NPC would not send a message, which would cause some players to not receive their next mission
* The 'password reminder' page should now work correctly
3D Client
New Functionality
Improved Animal AI
* Animal AI and pathing has been significantly upgraded. Animals should no longer get stuck on scenery and should now flee much more convincingly
* Animals will now react to each other in an more lifelike way. Each group will have a leader which the other animals will follow, in most cases the largest Buck, and animals will acknowledge and spook each other as appropriate
* Animals senses have been adjusted in a number of ways and should now be better aligned with the score of the animal. For example larger scoring Bucks will be much easier to spook than the smaller juvenile Bucks and Does
* Spooked Deer and Elk will now enter a state of heightened awareness after having made their escape. This state lowers the threat threshold of the animals and makes it easier to spook them the next time around
Improved Animal Animations
* New animations have been added for animals - including trotting and stotting
Improved Animal models
* We have added a completely new Mule Deer Buck and Whitetail Deer Buck model which should be significant visual upgrade. This should make the Bucks different in both appearance and size to the Does
* Other animal models have been polished and tweaked based on player feedback. These versions should be more realistic than previous versions
* Entry wounds now show on wounded Deer so players can spot where their shots have hit the target
New Antler Models
* The antler models have been completely re-designed to give a much better variety, both symmetrical and asymmetrical
* Antlers should now score much closer to how they appear inside the 3D game client
* Antlers now have collision so they should not longer intersect with the ground after an animal is killed
Camping
* Camping has been added - you can now take camping supplies with you when you hunt. Using 1 supply will allow you to extend the time you can stay hunting inside the EHR beyond the normal 4 hour or 10km limit
Game Client Options
We have added a number of game options which can be accessed from the Game Pause Options menu, including:
* Gamma Correction
* Invert Y Axis
* Mouse Sensitivity
* Customisable Key Bindings
* Master Sound Control

I like the sound of this update! Anyone seen the new antlers/models? Are they epik?
Yes, there is a lot more variation in the antlers now.
The new models and especially the animation are a great improvement. As is the animal behaviour and path finding.
The seem to react to each more now and herd up in mixed sexes and if you see a group of males there is a definite dominate one now and you really see the difference in the antlers.
All round seems a good update so far. Thinking of buying some more em$ and getting some kit, so as to give the devs a bit more money as I think they deserve it after the continuing improvements and I've probably only spent less than £15 on it so fat but have had hours of play out of it.
Seems to be a few other tweaks here and there not mentioned on the change log as well. Though there is an issue with the breath holding being broken at the moment if you go into the control options.

Under the help menu, iirc, on your page there is an option to send them a ticket. If it's during the week I have found them pretty fast and very helpful with any issues.
But as mentioned, try another browser, works fine here with the latest version of FF. Never tried it with IE.
yeah, you can fix it by setting them to defaults and then restarting the client.
but i guess if you hadn't changed any settings a restart of the client is probably just as good.
they know about it though so it shouldn't take them long to fix. but after this last massive update I don't mind if they take a few days rest first.
I've got so used to the controls now that I'll probably not change them but it seems just looking at them can break the breathing. Nice to have the option though for those that want to change them

Anyone had a high scoring elk and a picture of its antlers? I got a large/huge racked elk and it was only 230ish. Many are asking if theyve messed up the scoring again.
cant wait for this update
Today's News
Free Whitetail Weekend!
Wednesday, 1st July 2009
The Hunter team are pleased to announce two exciting new developments for the coming weeks.
The fun starts this weekend with the appropriately named Whitetail Weekend. During this period we invite all our guest players to join in with the hunting of Whitetail Deer. That's right, all guests now get to hunt Whitetail as well as Mule deer, but for this weekend only! That means you can track, spot and kill whitetail, complete missions for King, compete to top the leaderboard and take part in Whitetail competitions.
Could there be a better reason to go hunting now? Surely not, but let's try!
Starting on July 8th we'll be launching a very special competition to win a bow. More precisely, a new mule deer competition will begin with the top TEN hunters being awarded the brand new Compound Bow as a prize. Not exciting enough? The ten winners will also have exclusive use of the bow during its first weekend in theHunter, a full 3 days exclusive use before the bow makes it to Doc's Outfitters.
Doc wasn't happy about this, but we're sure the competition winners will be.
Happy Whitetail Hunting!
