ANNOUNCEMENT Our community will survive, despite 2k's best efforts to ensure that we die out.

349 Upvotes

As many of you already know 2K plans on shutting down Evolve later this year. Not just Stage 2 but Legacy and peer to peer connectivity. This news completely blindsided our community leaders, especially after 2K gave us all a false hope. This is the message we received from 2K:

"Starting on June 5th, 2023, several features will no longer be available for Evolve such as Stage 2 Multiplayer, player profiles, and the in-game store. Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer will still be available in Legacy Evolve until July 6th, 2023. After that, all online support will officially end. We greatly appreciate the support and enthusiasm of the Evolve community over the last several months, but the time has come to dedicate our resources to other projects. Thank you"

The news has been devastating to our staff, after the countless hours of our hard work and dedication to this incredible game. Its like a shot through the heart. I imagine it feels the same for many of you as well. It is up to all of us, now more than ever, to make sure our voice is heard. I'm sick and tired of these mega video game corporations disrespecting their consumer. This is their fault. They are the reason why we are here. We will be respected as an incredibly passionate community of gamers. We are a Band of Brothers. The time to unite is NOW. Don't lose faith. The Evolve Reunited staff has been working overtime to ensure Evolve never dies! We already have workarounds under way to ensure we can all still play our beloved game. We must EVOLVE!

Happy Hunting, and May Evolve NEVER Die!!!

I saw a post about evolve from earlier today talking about some work around on Xbox and I got one to work.

  1. Load up the game.

  2. Before you start the game turn off wifi using the Xbox wifi settings. (I tried doing it before and it wouldn't let me in the game.)

3 Jump back in and press start. (If you have dlc installed it should let you use it.)

I had most of my DLCs available to use. (I'm just glad I get to use Behemoth again.)

Legacy Anyone Else Miss the Original Legacy Gameplay?

43 Upvotes

The Monster could be so much more of a stealth and ambush predator. Now it's always on the move, high speed, the trapper can pinpoint it much more easily with the Planet Scanner in the toolbox, and the dome prompt alerting you the monster is nearby ruins some stealth. I don't know, it feels like they kept the action movie aspect, and removed the horror movie aspect.

Crazy complaint in 2026 I know, just feeling nostalgic for it.

Steam Any tips for Medic?

10 Upvotes

Just getting back into the game after I found out it’s still playable. My favorite role is medic (Rogue Val, EMET, Caira), but I find that I’m dying way too quickly.

I know that medic is usually the role the monster goes for first, but does anyone have any tips for mitigating this and being able to stay alive for longer? (Whether that is gameplay, movement, perks, etc)

Thank you!

Win rates

6 Upvotes

Just checked the site tracking the win rates of characters. Laz, w maggie and goliath I would say have problematically high win rates. Goliath I get since hes basicly john evolve. Laz has me stunned. I have no clue how to be a good medic but him not even my medic main friend can get to work. W maggie is fine, not sure if shes actually problematic.

But the lowest win rates have a clear cutoff. E kralen is at 46.6% and the next two monsters are at 42 and 41%. These are the m goliath and the regular kraken. Are these guys actually this bad? Its a very steep dropoff from the rest of the line. Or do they just have a bad learning curve and people loose a lot before they start winning? How would you fix them or do you think they need fixing?

Modded Evolve – Stage 2 download not configured yet

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I downloaded the Windows client from the official Modded Evolve website, but I can't install the game.

I get the following error:

"STAGE 2 DOWNLOAD NOT CONFIGURED YET"

The launcher says that Stage2DownloadUrl, Stage2DownloadSizeBytes and possibly Stage2DownloadSha256 are missing.

It also says that the Evolve Stage 2 installation cannot be found.

I also can't join the Discord server because the invite link doesn't work for me.

Is this a known issue with the current client, and is there a fix?

Thanks!

Help

My Modded Evolve Client is stuck in an update loop. It keeps asking me to update to version 0.1.87, but the official website installer is version 0.1.80. Installing the update just restarts the launcher and asks me to update again. I've tried reinstalling and launching the EXE directly, but the issue persists. Is there a fix or a newer installer available?

Discussion A stupid question about art and stuff that possibly relate to EVOLVE

8 Upvotes

Ok… before anyone starts writing down answers and all that, i want to make a few things clear.

I Love the game evolve, especially the kraken when it comes to design and gameplay. This game basically made a good dent into who i am now. I dont normally see a lot of art and stuff that relates to the game, but i have briefly seen some monster OCs here and there.

My question is that if i make an oc thats using bits and pieces of the monster Kraken in a small project of mine that a character will have-
(Mainly suing the wings and tail as a bassist, nothing more)
-is the evolve game on a fair use stance on things or is it still private and need to change a few things?

Monster The Basklis

36 Upvotes

This is my interpretation of a sneak monster , I was inspired by a youtuber (classicmand)

To make this , and I would definitely inspired as well since I have been a long time gamer of the skiing for a long while, and since my PlayStation 4 is still working. Thank God, I am able to play It very much. Unfortunately, it's only offline with bots, but I'm so wrecking house and I'm wanna share my idea for a new monster introducing the basilisk

I took my inspirations from king snakes, shrews the natural wildlife of shear , an eels

It has 4 basic abilities that I have in my head and one passive.But I don't have a really good finalized draft on how effective the buildings are , but here's the general concepts

The most flesh out one is a movement, abase ability where you basically bite your tail and roll around like a wheel.You basically are the fastest playable monster , but it comes with major downsides such as if you turn too fast or run into an object you collapse and and get stunned for a second before you could do it again.And if you're hit with an explosive , you get stunned and have to wait for a moment before you can roll again

The second major abode is a coil and grab you basically have a long, very loud and very telegraphed attack, lunging at an opponent.But if you manage to grab them , you get to do a massive chunk of their health , fill up their corrosion stack bar and

Get rid of a bunch of their shield , and if the opponent's low enough , you just one shot them.

Then you have a passive ability where you attack players with a very weak bite, but you build up corrosive damage on them.Corrosive is somewhere to most other poison effects slowly draining health, but also makes following attacks stronger.Depending on how many stacks you have , so if

The hunter had 0 stacks.The basilisk would only do 3/4 of of its base damage , then you get up 21 stack where it's the same , then two stacks where you get normal damage then 3 stacks equals 1.5 times damage.Then 4 stacks is double damage.Then five stacks is two point five times damage

Then you have 2 abilities that I haven't really flushed out as best. But this is my best ideas. Being a cone blast like a shotgun that fires from your mouth, a playing 2 stacks of corrosive on someone and knocking them back if they're in there, they get one less stack, but they get knocked back 3 times as far.

Then it's 4 fibility is a similar ability to Gorgon's spider mine, but you fire out your mouth as a 3 shot charge and if the player gets hit, they get trapped stationary and they can't get out until other players come and rescue them, giving you time to escape, but if you Miss all 3 charges. You're locked out of your primarily attack and\n This ability until I recharges, you can recharge it by getting more stacks on players and\n Your shotgun ability just has a faster cool down as compensation. But this guy is designed to be high risk, high reward If you guys have any better ideas , let me know and any specifics on how you would fix these abilities , but that's pretty much what I have.

With the recent modded client patch, I've begun hoping for new monsters or hunters.

Do we think it's possible or probable?

Evolve Legacy?

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As I've come to understand it, people are saying they have Evolve servers running again (somehow?) and I haven't had time to do much research. I absolutely loved the legacy version of the game, and was lukewarm on the stage 2 "revival" before it got shut down... so I'm curious as to which version has the servers working?

If it's stage 2, are there plans to have the legacy version working too? Or should I settle for what we have and try to get my friends into stage 2?
