![]() ![]() While originally, some servers reset only once a month or longer, the majority of the remaining unofficial servers reset once a week, meaning that players who cannot play every single day or who, for whatever reason, cannot play on reset day have little chance of making meaningful progression before the following destroys what little progress they had made. While Hurtworld isn’t very pretty to look at, it runs incredibly well on a wide range of devices and is easily downloaded on even the slowest DSL connections. This is undoubtedly only possible due to its focus on performance over visual fidelity, and while I would like higher-quality textures, in a game like this, sacrifices must be made. Tiny File Size.ĭespite its sizable map and wide variety of craftable items, Hurtworld weighs in at just 1.5GB, making it one of the smallest, if not the smallest, survival games on Steam.

The problem with this, however was that Rust progressed massively during the six years that Hurtworld remained in early access, and by the time Hurtworld was released, Rust had not only released to widespread acclaim but had become the definitive pvp survival game in the eyes of many, all but ensuring that Hurtworld, as a partially developed clone of a much earlier version of Rust had no chance of competing with the most popular game in the genre. Hurtworld, from inception, was intended to be a Rust clone with a hardcore focus and very low hardware requirements, and honestly, the developers succeeded at that mission. While some claim 99% of the remaining players do not speak English, from my interactions with the community, that figure appears slightly exaggerated, and I would estimate that roughly 80% of the community does not speak English as a first language, while roughly 70% does not speak English. The vast majority of remaining Hurtworld players do not speak English, and it’s far more common to run into a Chinese or Russian player than it is a European or American player. While several server providers are catering to the remaining Hurtworld community, the only real option for players who want to engage with a highly populated server is the twin HurtFun servers, which exist in a weird limbo between being official and unofficial servers, despite being privately owned and operated and offering a selection of mods and VIP perks that are not available in the core game. While hurtworld maintains a few official servers, the unofficial server community has kept the game alive long after the developers essentially vanished and updates ceased following its anti-climatic launch in December 2019. Hurtworld is one of just a few games to offer players two versions of the game for use on self-hosted servers, with some players opting to play the older (and in the mind of some superior) Hurtworld V1 over the more readily available Hurtworld V2.
