For some unknown reason you can only change the rest of them in game

For people testing controller rumble, easy way to test it is to use the Bow and then just hold the aim charge. It should pulse twice. Also, from experience I found that the Switch Pro Controller on pc has weaker rumble, Xbox Controllers have correct amount, and Dualsense is wayyy overboard. This is for games w/o specific support for Dualsense haptics.
If the game is not showing up your monitor proper resolution and is locked at a really low one, switch to borderless, select your res and switch back to full screen.
I play on an OLED and for some reason it was locked at 720p, switching to borderless I could select 4K and when I returned to fullscreen I kept the 4K res.
The whole multiplayer side of the game seems a bit confusing to me right now.
Yes, I had the same issue in the Demo also. Like you say, it's rare, and happens randomly. I've had it happen in fights and just randomly walking around town.
Thankfully, it doesn't last long and doesn't happen a ton at all to the point where it's ruining the game experience.
I was kind of curious if it is a steam controller input issue cause from what I remember World for a long time had issues with controllers introducing stutters sometimes to the game and that was discovered cause of steams controller input, had it happen in that also a bit.

Loving it so far! Still adjusting to wire bugs and wall running, but I can see this becoming something that makes World a bit tricky to adjust to after a while =P Still not sure whether to keep my palamute though or have two gathering palicoes. I might try two palicoes before I get too used to the palamute mount.
Also, what's with the MH team and their tutorial design? Every damn game, it's always so badly implemented, and Rise might be the worst of them all. A really annoying tutorial NPC, followed by obtrusive tutorial boxes, which themselves require a pop-up exit confirmation box each time which defaults to "No, don't exit the tutorial". WHY!?

I really liked how they handled it in this personally. Just off to the board, pick the quest you want to do and it'll dump you in an MP lobby for it.
100% agree, the way they changed it for World was actually a huge step down IMO. It's way more handy to just select the quest you want to do instead of having to browse a list of currently active hunts.
Casual 75k 1h after launch
90K playing at the moment on a Thursday afternoon.
Ye 90k was what they had last yesterday. Seems like it will be more today and past 100k on the weekend.
I know there are probably only a few of us left waiting at this point, but there is the latest update. I talked to someone from support and they said that if I wanted a refund I could get it and then purchase a non pre-order key immediately. The delay is in fulfilling the final preorder keys. I preordered early November, so I'm not sure how many are left in that boat, or what order they are fulfilling them in.
The twitter thread mentions additional compensation, for whatever that's going to be worth.
Sucks. This rarely happens and it did with one of the biggest PC games of the early year. Hope you get to play soon.
Yeah it sucks, but realistically I've played through it on Switch and I've been a loyal customer of theirs for the better part of a decade. They've always taken care of me until today so I'll live. Happy to hear the port sounds real good though.
I've put over 400 hours on the Switch version. Anyone out there with reservations: GET IT. It's truly an excellent game with a ton of content.
Like most PC games, it's already on sale, from various places.
Kind of a noob who only really properly started MH with World/Iceborne (which progression seems a bit different).
Looking at some of the replies in this thread, I should probably do Village>Hub> leads to HR which continues the village story.
Would doing Hub at the same time as Village be viable or would I be too weak/better to wait until later?

Hub is more difficult but me and my friend jumped straight into it without touching Village quests and its been going fine.
Going to mostly solo the quests until I hit a wall, but good to hear its going fine.
I know people who played both Rise and World pretty much exclusively in hub. The story has always been threadbare in these games (with World as an exception, but even there it wasn't anything amazing) so if you prefer the MP aspect of these games and hunting in groups there's nothing wrong with just staying in the hub. The games are built to support that decision =)
Event quests are permanent now, right?
It's not like MH:World where they rotate after a week or two.
I've only played a couple of quests, but the tutorials are so shit. Just a massive bombardment of information that you'll never remember.
It's not too bad for me since I've played World, but it must be hell for new players. World wasn't great for this either, but at least you didn't get dumped straight into being taught about wirebugs and felyne/doggo training and two separate streams for progression before you've even seen a large monster.
Otherwise, I like it. The Japanese watercolour aesthetic is great, and I prefer the more anime feel compared to World's more "realistic" colours/art.

Is it worth it playing Bow early game before you have money/ingredients/etc?
Or should I just try to start learning it later on when I don't have to worry about coatings and stuff

Hmm... it's not like I need the preorder bonuses or anything but I guess it wouldn't hurt to keep waiting since I don't know how long the refund process would take.
There is no health bar for monsters in this game? I was just watching some video and I didn't notice any.
Nope. When they start limping that's the only indication they're low on health (and a blue icon under their icon in the top corner).
I'll put it this way, we just got damage numbers in the last game.
Still just trying out weapons out that I wanna use. Wirebug is fun but man. Everything that isn't hunting monsters is testing me. Writing, dialog, characters, menus, ui, tutorials, etc.
It's a MH game alright.

I've been using bow for early village quests (having never used it before) and I've been fine. The quests are easy and you get unlimited close range coatings. And you get 25 power coatings in the supply box.
Does anyone know of a guide to getting all the unlockable stuff? I played on Switch but I can't remember how to get to all the important stuff >.>
Sort of. Monsters will start to limp when they're low on health. In Rise, there's also a little blue icon that pops up underneath the Monster's portrait in the UI when they're at low enough health to be captured.

And I still switch the damage numbers off =D I love the lack of health bars / numbers. Keeps me more focused on the visual display of health, like limping and damaged parts. I wish they put more effort into making the rest of the HUD/UI more dynamic too, to massively reduce screen clutter in an immersive way.
Haha! Yes. It will be interesting to see how MH6 compares in these respects. They should finally be able to throw big money at this IP knowing it will sell well, so fingers crossed they finally pay the UI/UX and tutorials some real attention and put a decent team on those elements.
Played a bit last night. Whew, am I rusty. Resisted picking the insect glaive back up, which was my go-to in World, and trying out the charge blade. You can definitely tell this was a port from a Switch game sometimes - the town area is separated into small sections. Loading is near instantaneous though.
It's not often I say this when I sit 10 ft away from a 4K set, but the HUD / text size in this game is gigantic. And as far as I can tell, you can turn off individual HUD elements but there's no way to scale it. I think that's going to be the first mod I'll want...
I laughed when I saw you could "drift" while riding the palamute. Then I tried it. It actually feels pretty awesome.

Anyone encountering(what I can only describe as) slight screen tearing with G-Sync on? It felt like screen tearing (playing on a C9 with G-SYNC, V-Sync off and unlimited framerate), but wasn't enough to blatantly look like it if that makes sense. Not sure if maybe i'm describing something else.
Otherwise, coming from the switch version with all the bells and whistles turned on, the game looks PHENOMENAL. I may playthrough the full game all over again.

Damn, what about those of us who had to wait all day yesterday or even this morning?
Most probably the HH and Hammer, they hit like a truck and if you're near them... yea, you're gonna flinch.
Yes! It's so awesome! Everything is better. This is making me really consider getting a good ultra wide monitor. I've got a 32" 16:9 now but if I can find a reasonable 21:9 I might go for it.
They are pretty good at taking care of people, although it should have never happened in the first place. I was very tempted to refund this morning though when they offered.
