Yesterday, Monster Hunter: The Wilderness released a joint update with Final Fantasy 14.However, this update has caused serious game crash problems.A large number of players reported that after the update, the game will terminate abnormally during the startup or the "shader compilation" stage. Even if you try to reinstall the game, verify file integrity, update the driver, etc., it cannot solve it, resulting in the game being "unable to play at all".

This update once again amplifies the long-standing optimization and stability issues of the game.There was feedback from players that they experienced up to 8 crashes in a day and eventually had to give up on the game.Many angry players directly criticized it as "garbage optimization" in their comments, and admitted that they "turned a blind eye" just because the core gameplay was interesting.At present, many players have issued warnings that new players should not buy games until Capcom solves these problems.

In addition to technical issues, the core content of this linkage - the "Omega" monster battle in cooperation with "Final Fantasy 14", its design has also caused huge controversy.Players mainly complain about the following:

Skills are difficult to avoid: many attacks of linked monsters, such as "Cross Fire Radiation Second Company", "Frozen Peak Dragon's same style as air conditioner" and "No forward shaking three consecutive front stings", with a large range and strict judgment, especially from the perspective of melee combat, it is almost impossible to avoid.

The mechanics are cumbersome to destroy the rhythm: missiles that frequently fall from the sky, and designs that require precise attacks on the feet but extremely poor target locking systems have been criticized for severely disrupting the game's hunting rhythm.

Excessive requirements: This difficult battle requires players to form a fixed team for precise cooperation, which is contrary to the traditional "fast hunting" community culture of Monster Hunter, and brings "exceptional pressure" to most casual players.

Some players expressed their disappointment with the game update strategy as a whole.A veteran player (HR999) pointed out that the official promised "four large-scale updates per year" is not worthy of the name: the first update is to make the final boss that can only be hunted once and become a permanent one. The second update is to unlock the monsters that existed in the game data at the time of release, while the third update (that is, this linkage) was criticized as "not even considered an update of "Monster Hunter".This lack of content and perfunctory make some players feel that "the money is not worth spending" and begin to envy the content of other action games.

From crash issues that cannot be started, to controversial, difficult combat designs, player dissatisfaction has spread from single version updates to concerns about the overall future of the game.Currently, the player community is closely watching how developer Capcom will respond formally to the matter and take practical actions to regain the trust of players.
