  • GuardianWikiXIV Wiki XIV (@GuardianWikiXIV) reported

    @Adam_cmoi @Szassus @monsterhunter Did you have any mods installed? Was running into the same issue over and over but deleting the dinput8.dll file let me get passed the crashing point.

  • Sir_Teetan meecube @Comms closed! (@Sir_Teetan) reported

    @Junoexotixxs @monsterhunter Found a fix! Uninstalling doesn't delete the shadecache2 file, try deleting - then verify game then give it a shot!

  • TheeKatDaddy Kyle Caternolo (@TheeKatDaddy) reported

  • dicefraud literally nobody (@dicefraud) reported

    @Junoexotixxs @monsterhunter Had the same issue. Setting the exe to windows 8 compatibility mode fixed it me.

  • Reburritocat BandedO (@Reburritocat) reported

    @REDM4GED @monsterhunter How did you fix it 🫠🫠🫠

  • TheBiotanker Biotanker (@TheBiotanker) reported

    @GameStopHelp @monsterhunter I pre-ordered the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Collector's Edition amiibo bundle from GameStop and received it today, but I didn't receive anything for the pre-order bonus layered armor buddy sets. Is this something we can fix here?

  • Super_Siam Deactivated Account (@Super_Siam) reported

    @monsterhunter please fix the bug where Palico skills get shuffled because of the Secret Support Move 🙏

  • qwqarts kev (@qwqarts) reported

    @monsterhunter @monsterhunter there's a bug (on the Nintendo switch) that if you gather a normal wirebug (and sometimes it happens randomly too), all game sounds will disappear for a second or two. Idk if this problem is widely spread tho..

  • acnhcvtra lena ❦ (@acnhcvtra) reported

    @monsterhunter Known issue - some people can't play the game at all since the dlc release

  • HirukoAoi Hiruko Aoi (@HirukoAoi) reported

    @monsterhunter @dev1_official I've been soft locked out of the elgado outpost because my game crashed before talking to the outpost NPCs. Now I'm stuck in kamura with no way to get to elgado. What do I do? Is there a fix for this?

  • liberalandfedup Kit 🏳️‍⚧️ (@liberalandfedup) reported

    @monsterhunter I have slain 20 Kushala Daora. I’ve broken it’s face. I’ve severed its tail. 20 Daora and not a single gem. I’m in hell.

  • DeanCelle Dean Müller (@DeanCelle) reported

    @CrimsonRaven77 @monsterhunter I had the same problem. Try to turne up your volume ingame and reduce it with the audiomixer

  • Hexer3 Hexer (@Hexer3) reported

    @monsterhunter Since yesterday I haven't been able to open my endemic life book due to a "picture data is corrupted" error that immediately crashes my game. Everything was fine the night of release and I even added a few new life in there. However now it just crashes immediately....

  • Katzena325 ♥ Katzena ♥ (@Katzena325) reported

    @zippoiii @howtofeelnothin @monsterhunter Nah its happening to people without mods too. I got it earlier and i dont mod the game. Theres an issue where the audio drivers will mess it up too lol I had to do an sfc scan,restart my pc,unplug my headset for it to start properly.

  • Asher_The_Mad 🐊Asher🐊 (@Asher_The_Mad) reported

    @Brocario1 @monsterhunter They should’ve just corrected the error in English by now But I guess they just don’t want to

  • nur_thalo Thalo (@nur_thalo) reported

    @Pokeguy_946 @monsterhunter That‘s unfortunate. But a lot of players reported the same problem, so they will fix it soon I think.

  • GuardianWikiXIV Wiki XIV (@GuardianWikiXIV) reported

    @Szassus @monsterhunter Did you have any mods installed? Was running into the same issue over and over but deleting the dinput8.dll file let me get passed the crashing point.

  • Anarkey__x Anarkey_ (@Anarkey__x) reported

    @REDM4GED @monsterhunter How did you fix it?

  • lowermostrevolt miru 🐾 (@lowermostrevolt) reported

    @acnhcvtra @monsterhunter The same happened to me and updating my graphic drivers (Nvidia rtx) to the most recent version was the only fix that got it to work :) But I've heard that if you've used mods before, the procedure to fixing the crashes is different

  • MH_Lilith Admiral Lilith (hours till Sunbreak) (@MH_Lilith) reported

    @GodofAmiibo @monsterhunter Idk about the US release since that’s been on hush but from looking around at other countries it seems to be releasing in like September, I do find it weird we haven’t seen them but I think it’s due to supply and possible scalping issues that happen

  • ressonnance soft blue (@ressonnance) reported

    @monsterhunter I have also a bug that depletes too quickly the maximum stamina (after 1 minute the reduce effect don't stop). Rations do nothing but well done steak seems to fix this.

  • Deshrasden Deshra D. Dine (@Deshrasden) reported

    @xVLSx @monsterhunter Same issue here

  • daedra_shivanix Shivanix (@daedra_shivanix) reported

    @xVLSx @monsterhunter I'm having the same issue. Checked the mail cats in both areas and the layered armor box. Nothing. 😕
