I hope you are all having a good week, today’s Status Update brings everyone the final information regarding the 2018 Football Jamboree as well as some information about other events players can look forward to over the summer break!
theHunter: Classic Football Jamboree 2018
The Football Jamboree is an event like none other on the calendar year and it is easy to participate!
This year there are two competitions, the ‘Main Event’ and ‘theHunter Football Jamboree League’.
The ‘Main Event’ is directly influenced by the FIFA World Cup and all you have to do is head to theHunter Store and purchase the pants that represent your favorite team or teams. Then if your team wins the FIFA World Cup, you win this lovely ‘Golden 10 GA Lever Action Shotgun’:
The top 3 positions all come with a nice trophy and they are ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ and ‘Bronze’ respectively:
‘theHunter: Classic Football Jamboree League’
This event is our very own, around the world competition. Over the course of the FIFA World Cup there will be 8 different competitions that are reserve specific, each competition lasts for 4 days and your highest scores combined from each animal species on the reserve is your competition criteria. Each competition has its own unique trophies, which are also reserve specific. Here is a look at the Trophies from the Hirschfelden Comp: Waaaaaaay more information about both competitions, as well as score sheets and all the teams for the ‘Main Event’ can be found in this post HERE in our forum.
Midsummer Competition 2018
On top of the Football Jamboree, we are also going to be hosting the annual ‘Midsummer Event’, which runs from June the 20th to June the 25th. That is 5 days of even more competitions, sales and a very nice mission pack to look forward too. Even though we are thin on the ground due to holidays, we are still bringing you the content! More details will be available next week.
Albino Ambition #2
This wraps up the last week of this competition, they appear to have been much harder to find than the Whitetail or Moose variations… I guess that's why they call them ‘rares’!
This weeks winner:
‘Nockedup’, for this very nice Mule Buck! A nice trophy shot and with a score of 138.936 it gives it a great visual boost as well!

Rare and Trophy of the Week
This competition has become so popular that we have decided to make it a permanent feature and it’s here to stay for the foreseeable future! So, if you have shot a rare or high scoring animal from this week and want a chance to win, then share them in the correct thread on our forum, don’t forget to mention the score!
This Weeks Winners
The ‘Trophy of the Week’ is this monstrous Moose which was shot by forum user ‘Nathan112244’. It has a massive score of 225.307, congratulations! If you are unsure of what many consider a trophy Moose, it is anything over the 200 scoring mark.
And the ‘Rare of the Week’ goes to ‘Sova’ for this double rare picture. One Piebald and one Melanistic Elk! I do believe that is an entry into the super rare gallery, congratulations!
Free Rotation
This week's free rotation, lets our guest hunters test their skills against Grey Wolf and Rocky Mountain Elk. Good luck and have fun!
We're so excited to bring you OVERWHELM and launch Untitled Publisher. Please enjoy a 20% launch week discount to celebrate!
For all of you already immersed in the action-horror-world of OVERWHELM, thanks so much for the amazing response. If we were going to use a pun about being overwhelmed, we would use it right here.
But we won't do that. What we are going to do is keep reading your reviews, discussions and listening to your feedback.
We'll have more news about what's to come soon, but the short of it is that we have more plans to update and expand the world and features of OVERWHELM.
A new patch for Wallpaper Engine has been released that makes discovering wallpapers in the Workshop easier and adds a few rudimentary features to the scene editor.
Wallpaper Discovery
The wallpaper browse window received a new tab, Discover, which allows browsing the Workshop based on genres, keywords and creators.
You receive a balanced mix of all genres from the Workshop, making it easier to get an idea about what kind of wallpapers are available and helping you to find new and popular ones.
Make sure to vote on lists you really like or dislike. By doing that, more similar lists will be shown to you that belong into the same genre. For example, if you vote for game related wallpapers, you will receive more game specific lists.
You can also favorite lists to find them again more easily:
Or create a custom list by searching for a keyword through Steam:
Wallpapers in all lists will now scale along with the window and screen size better and a new download icon on the Workshop tabs indicates which wallpapers you already downloaded. The new Discover view is still based on Steam's Workshop at its core meaning wrongly tagged submissions may show up in the lists. As before, the built-in report tool can be used to flag them so they can be sorted properly by us.
Editor Improvements
The scene editor will now show a selection box for the selected object, which is especially useful for translucent images and particles.
Three buttons have been added to the top as well to quickly toggle the visibility for the new selection box, the grid and performance stats.
There is also a new tutorial about scene performance optimization that describes how expensive effects (like Shine) can be limited effectively to a small portion of the wallpaper.
CEF Update
CEF has been updated to the version cef_binary_3.3396.1777.g636f29b (Chromium 67.0.3396.79). To reduce some persistent CEF/Chromium stability issues, I have also implemented some additional work arounds. The web wallpaper will now only close after the wallpaper file has either been loaded or timed out to prevent an issue on shutdown. Quickly switching between web wallpapers should now apply the properties better and keep the wallpaper working as expected. Finally, the UI will now ignore mouse/keyboard input until the page has been loaded to a degree which should avoid some start up crashes (safe for a very rare one coming from the Steam overlay).
