Hey folks, I've been enjoying MHW on my gen 1 (discless version) of PS5. I haven't had any complaints about how the game has been running moment to moment, but I've been getting somewhat random system crashes. The PS5 just shuts off instantly and does not turn back on till I leave it unplugged for a few minutes.

My current guess is that my system's safety mechanism is kicking in due to overheating. I've done a thorough clean out of the case (removing the paneling and using compressed air/vacuum). I could take it apart further to inspect it but I wanted to see if anyone else has been having this issue and if they did anything in the game settings to address it.

My current settings are:

HDM Output - Enabled

Performance Settings - Prioritize Framerate

120 Hz Output - On

Frame Rate Limit - 60 fps (capped)

Motion Blur - Off

I do have a monitor that can take advantage of 120 Hz and HDM, and I'm really hoping that the solution to my problem isn't "just throttle the frame rate harder" because it feels significantly less smooth capping the fps under 60.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Just sit on any table and press focus on the Diva (PS5 triangle)

BONUS: You get some stats boost for listening too! As shown in chat log, but unsure what exactly is the boost or number, someone please enlighten thanks.

It appears the game could be using the AA options even when using upscaling resulting in a doublely anti-aliasing image. Turning them off and then applying upscaling results in a clearer image for me.

Y’all - it is okay to drop your max dps set for a defensive comfy set until you learn the fight. Earplugs, Divine Blessing, Fire and Thunder Resist, heck even Speed Eating for faster potion chugs. Don’t be afraid to use defense boosting items. Bad at avoiding his nuke? Farcast out and restock on items. Can’t speak for everyone but personally I’d prefer the hunt to last a few minutes longer than to hop into a SOS call just for everyone to get obliterated as soon as I load in. Unfortunately I have had no luck getting the event to spawn when resting for inclemency so these are my best option hahaha - 5 hours of SOS calls to get 3-4 runs completed smh. This fight may make me toll a wide range SnS w/ mushroomancer because looord. Still having fun though!

As the title says, I’m getting this communication error now and can’t play the game at all. Lobby’s won’t load, single player online won’t load.
It was running fine yesterday after the MH update.
The only difference between yesterday and today is there was a PS system update that I accepted.
Has anyone found a solution to this? I see it happened roughly a month ago for others. But now it’s happening again.

It's something you can sometimes see in trade windows, but very seldom does it show up in the trade vendors. 2 or 3 of them are probably the only ones that can get it. Right now it wants to regular wylk gem for it, which I am also having an issue trying to figure out how to get.

Any info would be good, because I don't really need to farm anything in this game too, but but am depleted on Wild See Oil without any reliable way to regen it.

This isn't something that requires low rank farming is it?

I know the game has issues on PC, but they said the first update would fix some of them, so how's it going now?

Divaborn comes!

First thing I noticed when she started singing, even though the song was in the low rank story lyrics I probably just didn't notice it there.

what’s the best way to gain reinforcement materials for artian weapons? i know you can smelt anything that isn’t useful in your item box and what not, but i was just curious to see if anyone had alternative methods.

So let me get this straight. A water element weapon that gets more affinity for water and bubble blight. A debuff that only a monster with resistance or complete immunity to water attacks can give. Am I missing something or this the stupidest shit ever?

I've seen a handful but some clear omissions and wasn't sure if they just don't exist or if I just haven't seen them

Has anyone gotten HunterPie v2 working? I followed a YouTube tutorial but even with HunterPie opening along with the game the actual overlays don't show up.

From what I’m aware of I didn’t get it just walking around or standing in front of her. Only when I used the nearby tables and use the “watch diva” camera option that after she was done singing the notification for “blessings and prayers of diva have temporarily increased stats”

Solo or duo time. I'm desperate for literally any discussion on this. There's hardly any runs on YouTube at least as of yesterday and barely any posts here that I could find. I just want to know what the fastest legitimate time could possibly be and where most people stand. Right now I'm at 3:15 with a friend but we got so incredibly lucky and I don't know if we can replicate it easily.

Is there a WR for closest to 5mins?

I've played MHW and Rise in the past and Rise didn't scratch that itch I had since playing MHW. Picked Wilds up today and during the first quest I already felt cool smacking a monster hehehe (eventhougn it's only a starter)

(PS: Please do not mind the talking in the BG I didn't know it recorded the discord too oops)

Well folks I'm getting a bit burnt out on the apex grind so looking to see if anyone has some extra mini crown quests rattling about. Have large crown for Ray Dau and Nu Udra to give in return if you need em

I have never been backhanded so hard by a monster so quickly.

So i completed the main story afaik , am currently HR50+, besides grinding gear i’m not sure what to do atm. I still see alot of quests from others that i can’t join due not meeting the requirements to do so , but don’t know what i’m missing

Never change Japan lol

Just tested zoh shia switch axe vs an artian switch axe and it's way stronger

I don't have footage for it but i don't think I'm the only one that noticed

Background info: Started occurring today, yesterday with the new update this issue wasn’t present. I haven’t verified integrity yet because I’m not sure if that’s the solution, or that could cause more problems. I have made one change to the files BUT ONLY AFTER I saw this happening with the textures to backup my save.

The floor texture issue at the end of the video is happening in all camps/hubs except the gathering hub. The RGB issue is happening with all camps and Zoh Shia’s tail?
