Monster Hunter World: Iceborne |OT| Looking for love in Alatreon places
- Thread starter BDS
- Start date
Anyone know how long the greenmangaming deal will last? For Iceborne. I was going to buy this saturday.
I'm rocking a i7-9700k overclocked to 5 GHz and a 2080 TI. The DX12 performance gain was still about 20 FPS.
Nice! That bodes well for my 8700/2080 combo! At 1440p, it would dip into the mid 70's at the lowest for me. Hoping I can get that floor raised a bit!
Well so much for my save file. Started the game with Iceborne patch (but didn't buy the DLC), it said it's unable to read my save file and I have to create a new one. The game wouldn't allow me to get past that prompt without creating a new save file. Well I accepted and then my save was gone, poof, even overrode my previous save from Steam cloud right away.
Are there websites out there with build guides/recommendations? Wanting to make some dual blades, but not sure which tree to go for. Just started Iceborne and made it to around HR42 last time I played, so should have quite a few materials. Any tips on what to craft? Armor as well, currently I'm just using a bunch of random pieces from when I played Hammer.
I noticed they moved the save file from its old location burried in Steam's Userdata folder to the MHW root directory when I was uninstalling Special K. This is a long shot, but have you tried looking under the old save file location at \Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\XXXXX\582010 ?
Did you have the Special K mod installed? It'll crash the game on boot if Iceborne tries to launch in DX12 mode.
I had it installed for nier but I deleted the directory. Didn't change anything.
Edit: Solved it, rivaTuner was somehow causing it to crash one startup.
Seems some people had their savefile go poof due to some error that forced them to create a new one that overwrote it so you might want to back up your savegame on PC before playing the expansion.
C:\ Program files (x86) \ steam \ user data \ (your steam user ID number) \ 582010
C:\ Program files (x86) \ steam \ user data \ (your steam user ID number) \ 582010
Both the 582010 folder as well as the savedata_backup in MHW folder contain only the new "empty" save file.
Maybe if you're lucky still here?
Though if you closed the game it's likely overridden.
It also seems that the game's CPU usage for everyone regardless if they have the expac or not just spiked up.
Just really noticed it but whats with these guiding land times? Are people really spending 16+ hours there?
This should be threadmarked when you get a chance BDS.
Until this gets sorted out, I'd stay clear of starting the game if it doesn't recognize your save file. Losing that much time sounds heartbreaking.
I've seen people who are clearly AFK but using a macro or something to keep moving so they don't get kicked offline. No idea why though.
Best I can think of is farming guild cards or something? Who knows xD
as far as i can tell, it's to get passive exp for each region when people join your expedition
Yeah, that's still how it works, unfortunately. So still have to have each person start the quest, then everyone drops except for one.
Make sure to get rid of all of your mods. I've heard they can cause problems with launching the game.
I had deleted the nativepc folder, that should have been enough right? only had the handler and monster drop mods. Looks like steam overwrote all the folders from my install already since its only showing a few now. Think it might be too late anyway, looks like steam just restarted downloading it since its prelocating again, looks like I'll join you guys next month lol.
Hi, passing by to drop another "DX12 improved (a bit) my FPS"
i5 8600K - RTX 1070 super - 1440p
all settings on max except volumetric fog (off)
It's not revolutionary but I gained ~10FPS (average 80)
I hope it will help some hesitant people with similar configs.

Wow looks likr mods were super common among the PC player base not surprisingly.
Seems to be causing a lot of issues if you can clean them out before installing

First observation: whoever Capcom keeps sourcing for opinions that people like pointless slow-walk quests needs to find a new line of work.
I'm just starting again on PC.
After the initial big ol drag of remembering this game had unskippable cutscenes and also realising that starting again means I don't have my millions of dollars and hoarded gems plates and mantles, the game is like 6 billion times better on PC than it is on PS4.
The fact that loading goes from like 10 mins to 10 seconds is one thing. but just being able to play at smooth 60 with miles ahead IQ, it's seriously a ric flair screaming woo cocacaine adrenaline rush

Oh shit where did all these honey badgers come from all of a sudden?!
Also has base sheathing speed been reduced?

At the same settings before expansion, but with the new (there's like 2 new shadow options or something) turned on, it seems to be running slightly better as far as frame-rate go, nothing drastic for me. I went straight into DX12 though, I might turn that off and see what the frame-rate is like next time I hop on.
However, the new snow map is def more demanding and runs slightly worse than the vanilla zones (probably because I have snow setting on highest and the snow deformation is demanding?) so then it evens out to the same frame-rate pre-IB heh.

Did they ever fix the water reflections not working on PC? I distinctly remember that being a weird anomaly in Digital Foundry's video but haven't heard anything about it since then.
My game finished downloading on steam but it says installing and its just sitting there, did this happen to anyone else?
I've seen people with the same problem on r/MonsterHunter. You could check there and see if anyone's got a solution.
When in doubt, get rid of all of your mods.
The FidelityFX setting is some strangeness. It definitely makes the game run loads better, albeit with a light downgrade to the resolution. Fidelity FX on seems to run equivalent to low resolution while looking far better.
One other thing I noticed is the game now has an option to select the button prompts you want, thank heck.
Game is definitely running better with this patch, though. And that's on top of the performance improvements I'm fairly sure the game got in the many patches before this.

I got rid of Special K a long time ago. I don't think it was updated alongside the game, meaning later versions of the game were unstable with it. I had many crashes that were fixed by uninstalling Special K. And TBH Special K is too much of a headache for whatever benefits it brings in all but a handful of my attempts to use it for various games.
