Bug Fixes and Balance Adjustments #1
  • In Ver.3.1.0.0, an issue was addressed that prevented the player from carving a severed tail if the tail overlapped with the fence switch in the Arena. This fix was not properly reflected in Ver.10.0.2.0 and onward, so it has been fixed again.

  • Fixed an issue preventing players from performing any other actions if they go through a specific sequence of steps after copying the Lobby ID at the Courier’s Lobby Settings.
  • Two features of Research Requests have been changed:
    1. Just completing any Investigation at the specified level or above now counts as fulfilling a request.
    2. If you also hunt the specified monster on the same quest, you will earn extra progress for the request.
  • Lower required quest levels will now appear for Research Requests.
  • Added “Anomaly Research & Followers” to the Hunter Info.
  • Fixed an issue occasionally preventing the “Obtaining Anomaly Research Points” entry from being unlocked in the Hunter Info.
Bug Fixes and Balance Adjustments #2

  • Also fixed an issue causing motion blur to appear in some cutscenes when it has been enabled in the options.
  • Fixed an issue causing an error when quitting the game if the graphics settings are set to “High,” the framerate cap is set to “90,” and V-sync is enabled in specific environments.
  • Fixed an issue causing the screen mode to change from full screen to windowed on some monitors when using a DisplayPort cable and switching the monitors on and off.
  • Some Event Quests are now part of the application itself, rather than being downloadable separately.
