  • Adjusted device vibration: The device will no longer vibrate when moving at high speed and experiencing gameplay restrictions.

Party Invite fix

When a party member invites you to join a hunt for a monster in the same location, at the same time, and of the same type as the monster you previously marked, you wouldn’t see the “Join hunt!” message and can’t participate in the hunt.

After Fix: You will now see “Join hunt!” message, and if you join, the warning message “This monster is one that you have already marked yourself. If you proceed to hunt it, the monster will be unmarked.” will be displayed.

Other fixes

  • Incorrect input when copying & pasting Friend Codes
  • Error displayed when sending Friend Requests
  • No sound effects for Hunter and weapon during hunts
