Update on the save file crash.....

Apparently to do with pcs not having the required codecs to play the cutscene...

Finally. Pain and time wasted because of this was a real pain.

Good news. I've watched a few reviews from prominent reviewers who trashed the game as they couldn't stay connected from more than a few minutes and were therefore unable to even do a review. Not really fair on the underlying game but there you go....

No, that's fair. Developers should be punished* for lazily porting console games to PC and releasing them with obvious game breaking bugs. It's unacceptable.

Now let me just get some ice cream to go with my hypocrisy, as I've been really enjoying the game despite this and other 'problems'. It's funny, I enjoy it but at the same time I'm internally moaning :lmfao:.

*It's sold something like 10 million units (this may be PS4 and PC combined?), so unfortunately nothing to discourage further lazy porting going on here

. More ice cream please!

Only thing the disconnects have stopped me from doing is grouping up. Can still play the game solo. "shrugs"

Chaosphere · August 24, 2018, 02:55:58 PM

Yeah, but when you bought it to play with friends, it's a bit naff. The game is infinitely more fun in a group, IMO.

So yes, glad they have fixed it!

I Agree its not fair, to say that this game can't be played or reviewed because the online functions ain't working in a fashion that we want and expect should't mean this is a terrible game. As of writing this i have 79 hours in this game, about 20-30 MAX have been online i would say. I have had troubles connecting to friends and at time i need to treat it like a console game to get the online working But does this make the game hard to review ? NO not at all. The multiplayer is simply a part of this game and yes it doesn't work well right now i wont deny this fact. For there first attempt well i take my hat off to them. I have a beautiful game that i can still play with friends even if at times there is a few problems, its not like it has no online or ability to play with friends.

This game i feel is meant to be a BOTH a solo and multiplayer game and i think most of it is best solo and i say this from my experience in this game. Please don't get me wrong i love play with people like the lights of Jay, Pnuts ,Milli and even that beautiful Dr Chaos but the best moments are when you single-handedly stand over that monster you almost died fighting or even failed 2 times before but on that 3rd attempt you was able to best it with your new armour and buffs. The best example for me would be killing the Rathalos alone and the final boss i was able to beat on my second try on solo, That feeling is great to have. You can get this from having friends join you but until the much higher levels you just find yourself either steam rolling over the monster or dying more to it because it has that 2.3x health buff and you wasn't ready for this monster but your friend is max level so they are fine.

This game is great and at times a grind, this is when its best for friends and there are a few fixes me Jay and others have found to get around the connection issues. I do love this game and its hard to see people moan about this game for the reason the online doesn't work (not talking about anyone in DMW you are all the best

) but this game is made for both. Thanks for reading my rant just wanted to say it was all.

Milli · August 24, 2018, 03:21:18 PM

Totally agree smilo.... Nothing compares to having a solo kill on a monster you've been banging your head against for a while ðŸ¤£

I'm still having disconnects, but obviously it's not been fixed yet which is disappointing.

But I'm loving the game.

I feel the trick of disabling the big picture overlay in the steam in game settings and then in the MHW launch options disabling the new gui for friends plus forcing udp has made a 90% improvement in my in hunt multiplayer stability. I did all of yesterday with only 1 jump to offline and that was a lucky one becauase the target was asleep ready to cap. Not a real fix I know but real QoL improvement.

Totally agreen with Rogue.

uncheck middle box, then in the game you want to affect add -nofriendsui -udp to the launch options, restart steam.

the issue is that friends popups and the new gui for friends is causing the game to see the popup as an alt-tab. Albt-tab generally disconnects a multiplayer session in MHW. Even doing it in the lobby can cause a disconnect.
