The newest patch for Monster Hunter World is out and brings a 4 GB update that includes a new region, new monster, weapon balance changes and a bunch of bug fixes. Also, if you are not using the HD Texture Pack, the update is closer to 2 GB. There are a ton of bug fixes for various issues, with the PC release now being a bit more stable overall.
There is even a new Resident Evil crossover event to hunt a Blackveil Vaal Hazak, and you can get a fancy new armor set out of it. There’s another new monster in the new Guiding Lands region, as Rajang has joined the new world. New weapon trees, armor, and skills round out the new additions in this patch.
There are still some ongoing issues with Monster Hunter World 11.50, namely that some AMD GPU users are reporting crashes on boot. Capcom is working on a fix, and many users are reporting that it’s related to DirectX12, as the game seems to run fine on DX11. Also, expect to have to reset your controls if you’re booting up for the first time since Iceborne released. No save data issues have been reported at least.

This change affects the following locations:

Additions and Adjustments
- Framerate display options have been increased to include: 30, 60, 90, 120, 144, 165, 240, and No Limit.
- Added two options for mouse and keyboard controls: “Aim Cancellation (Melee)” and “Aim Cancellation (Ranged)”. These options determine whether or not entering item selection mode will cancel aiming mode.
- Changed the way camera control priorities work for mouse and keyboard controls. Previously, even when playing with mouse and keyboard, the game would prioritize gamepad shortcut controls when opening item selection mode with any “Item Control Settings” option other than “Type 3”. Now, as long you don’t click the middle mouse button to open up the gamepad shortcuts, the game will continue to prioritize camera controls.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where temporary files were saved to the wrong location when taking in-game screenshots while the Steam Cloud is active.
Please note that this issue has no effect on game progression, but if the folder “_TempPhoto” has been created in the root folder of the drive where you have the application installed, it may be safely deleted. Once the patch has been applied, future files will be saved to the same folder as save data.- Fixed an issue where the game would crash when using multiple GPUs (including embedded GPUs) to display separate screen outputs and then going to the “Display Output Settings” options to change the display outputs.
- Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes crash when changing from full screen mode to windowed mode when playing with CPUs with high core counts and low clock rates.
- Fixed multiple issues related to attempting to close the game by clicking the “X” button after right-clicking on the thumbnail in the PC taskbar, such as the window becoming unable to correctly switch between active and inactive, the screen not refreshing properly, or being unable to select the “Quit without saving?” system message.
- Fixed an issue where the game screen would not become active after clicking on it after minimizing the game in windowed mode with [Win]+[D] and then pressing [Win]+[D] again to restore the window.
- Fixed an issue where the lance’s backwards Guard Dash would not work properly with mouse and keyboard controls when using “Type 2” for the “Direction Control Type” option.
- Fixed an issue where you could not open the “Preparing for Departure” window after posting or joining a quest, if you have assigned the “Crouch / Dodge” command to a mouse button when playing with mouse and keyboard.
- Fixed an issue with the camera that would occur when opening item selection mode when playing with mouse and keyboard and the “Item Control Settings” option was set to “Type 3”.
- Fixed an issue where the game would apply incorrect horizontal camera corrections when playing with mouse and keyboard within Seliana, Astera, the Research Base, or the Gathering Hubs.
- Fixed an issue with frame rate drops that would occur when using the mouse to control the camera in View Mode.
- Fixed an issue where, when using View Mode or the Surveyor Set, trying to use the mouse wheel to change pages in the chat’s Shoutouts or Stickers selection window would also change the camera magnification.
- Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor could not move outside the window immediately after having set the “Camera Mouse Controls” option to “Off” when using gamepad controls.
