On Thursday, October 4 at 00:00 a.m. UTC, we released Title Update 2, which includes some bug fixes.
Extended Event Quest Availability:
- Due to an issue with the recent release of Event Quest "Relish the Moment," the quest will be available for an extended period.
Original schedule: from Friday September 21 00:00 a.m. UTC to Thursday October 18 23:59 UTC.
New schedule: from Friday September 21 00:00 a.m. UTC to Thursday October 25 23:59 UTC.
Bug Fixes:
- Traffic and matchmaking server load have been reduced.
- A function was added to config.ini in the Monster Hunter World folder to generate dump files.
- A bug was fixed where the game would get stuck in a search loop when using the Matchmake function to look for an online session.
- A bug was fixed where NPC dialogue would close automatically when the Hunting Horn's Health Boost (S) effect runs out. This fix prevents the Grimalkyne cutscene event in the Coral Highlands from getting stuck.
- A bug was fixed where updated data between players differed when a player talks to the NPCs at the Resource Center when the limited bounties are being updated.
- The height on Vaal Hazak's field of view settings have been tweaked.
