Monster Hunter Rise launched a few weeks ago on the Nintendo Switch and Capcom has seen massive success for the latest entry in the action-RPG series. The Japanese developer/publisher revealed just this week that the title has managed to ship a whopping 5 million units, which is nothing to scoff at.
However, even though players and critics have been praising Monster Hunter Rise for its streamlined mechanics and overall quality of life improvements, there has been a nasty game-breaking bug appearing for some players. The bug in question caused the save data to be inaccessible for Monster Hunter Rise players that tried to set the Action/Hurt Pose sets to the action bar or the radial menu. Thankfully, Capcom has addressed the issue with a new patch that released today for Switch players that fixes the issue, among a few other things.
Capcom released patch update ver 1.1.2 today and is available to download now for all players. The patch addresses several odd bugs and glitches such as a few related to the player's owl companion, Cahoot. There's also a fix for players using the upwelling wind at the Lava Caverns. It apparently would cause players' controls to stop responding if the action was performed in a certain way. The patch is fairly small in size and should take players no longer than 5 minutes to fully download and install, so there's no need to worry about losing precious game time with friends.
If players don't have access to the internet to download the patch, they'll still be able to play the game solo via the Village quests, but they won't be able to connect with players online. However, if players share the same game version, they can still play together via local play.
Here's a list of the patch notes for players to check out down below via Capcom:
Base/Facility
- Fixed a bug causing the controls to stop responding when you sit down on a bench in the village and use the "Call Cohoot" gesture and perform certain actions.
