Likely Solutions to Fix Monster Hunter Rise Crashes on PC
Quick/Easy Solutions to Try First
The last thing gamers would want to do is do something drastic, like deleting the game. Instead, players are encouraged to start small, in the hope that it works right away. Minor decisions include:
1. Double check that your system can run the game; Compare your hardware to the game's PC requirements
Never buy a game that your computer cannot run. Both the CPU and GPU must at least meet the minimum requirements. Anything less would be a waste of money.
2. Adjust game graphics settings
If your computer is capable of running the game, make changes to the graphics settings. Start with the lowest settings, then turn up the settings along the way. The ideal frame rate is around 60fps, but 30fps should also be acceptable.
3. Add Monster Hunter Rise (and any files associated with it) as an exception to your antivirus software
It is not uncommon for certain files to be blocked by your antivirus. This does not mean that Monster Hunter Rise has a virus. If any number of files are locked, the game will not work properly. All files and folders associated with the game should be made an exception.
4. Enabling Administrative Permissions for MHR
Giving Monster Hunter Rise administrative permission can cause the same issue as antivirus software. This restricts access to the game, the necessary files to run. By enabling administrative permissions for MHR, the game is prioritized and will hopefully work as expected.
Key solutions
If none of the minor fixes worked, the problem is most likely rooted in a corrupted file or outdated software such as drivers. Main Solutions:
1. Update your PC's graphics drivers
An outdated driver between the PC and the GPU can cause significant problems. This can lead to frequent game crashes. Installing a driver update may fix bugs that may prevent the GPU from processing tasks.
2. Verify the integrity of game files on Steam
Steam has the ability to scan game files for integrity. In other words, it finds corrupted files and, if any, downloads fresh copies to replace them. You will find this option in the local game files on Steam.
3. Uninstall and reinstall Monster Hunter Rise.
If all else fails, uninstall and reinstall Monster Hunter Rise. It's possible that the Steam scan couldn't fix (or missed) the problematic software. A fresh install should do the trick.
