About the Ledger

Ledger pulls Hunt: Showdown 1896 stats for every tracked profile, writes a snapshot, and renders the rolls - ranked rosters, regional pulse, monthly highlights, per-hunter dossiers, playstyle archetypes.

What it shows is what you may see in-game. The Bayou Ledger only turns it into a history and provides the easy access.

Not an official Crytek site, not endorsed by Crytek, not affiliated with Crytek in any way. Hunt: Showdown is a trademark of Crytek GmbH.

Hunt: Showdown trackers before this one worked from a stats file the game wrote onto your own disk. To read it, you had to run a little piece of software on your own PC that parsed that file and served the numbers up.

That file is no longer written. Crytek shut it down to honor privacy policies in some regions - so the trackers that leaned on it had nothing left to read, and quietly went away.

The Bayou Ledger takes a different road. It talks directly to the API the game itself uses. It isn't a published API and it took some real effort to reach - but it's the real one behind the game.

Crytek could of course change what that API exposes one day as well, and that's their call. But I'm hopeful it stays as it is and the project lives on, for a few reasons:

• First and foremost, we do no harm to the game or its community.
• We've put serious work into optimising how stats get refreshed, so we barely tax the game's API even with a large roster of tracked hunters.
• We take players' privacy seriously - you're tracked only if you choose to be.
• Right now there's no other Hunt: Showdown tracker around, and there hasn't been one for quite a while.

The game ships with an in-game switch that hides your stats. The Bayou Ledger honours that flag - whichever way your stats are out of reach, nothing is stored and no numbers ever land on the rolls. Although some may use it to hide abnormal suspiciously high stats, we honor those rules to not mess with possible Crytek's policies.

Also, if you do sign in with Steam, your account page carries a Delete everything button - one tap wipes your session, your tracking entry, and every stored stat. There is no undo.
