0.11.2 - Online Multiplayer, Bugfixes

MHGU Recomp 0.11.2

NOTE: This is the first public release that adds native online multiplayer! An LDN server is automatically preloaded so you can play publicly online or with friends. This server is hosted in West Europe for now.

• Added online multiplayer support! The game now comes preloaded with a default LDN server, letting you play online with randoms or with friends. This still uses the "Local Wireless" feature ingame.
  • To only match with your friends or premade groups, set Key = your-password in the ini or in the F1 networking menu (Matchmaking Key). By default it's empty, so you can find/host public hubs.
  • Set Server = Off in the .ini file or the game options if you already have a working setup with port-forwarding set up for playing with your friends. You can also change this to a different address if you want to run/use a different LDN server.
  • Ryujinx servers are probably not network-compatible, so don't try them.
  • This server and the setup for running it are heavily in beta, don't be too surprised if it may end up going down a few times. I'm trying my hardest to ensure this doesn't happen.
  • Software for running this server yourself is included in the repo.
• Fixed intermittent audio bugs and cutouts (#104)
• Slightly improved FSR performance (#101)
• Mods are sorted a bit better when enabled/disabled (#98)
• Game now warns on startup if your game files are wrong
• Improved shader precompiling, the game is now more aware of the pipelines used by the game, so you should experience far less black surfaces.
• End-of-hunt screenshots are no longer black or garbage noise

To install:

• Extract the zip anywhere
• Put your exefs and romfs folders from your copy of MHGU in the data subfolder. This expects you to use game version 1.4.0. You can right-click and extract your ROM with patches applied in Ryujinx if you are coming from there
• Run the game at least once to generate the .ini
• Saves are stored here by default. If you are coming from Ryujinx, copy the save_0 folder into here:
  • Windows: AppData/Roaming/MHGURecomp/save/
  • Arch Linux: ~/.local/share/MHGURecomp/save/
    • If $XDG_DATA_HOME is set, they are in $XDG_DATA_HOME/MHGURecomp/save/ instead
• Put mods in the mods folder if you have any (Forge mods are also supported!). Mods that raise the FPS cap or resolution are not necessary (and won't work anyway)
• If you have any cheat codes you'd like to use, put them in a .txt file under cheats/.
• Edit the .ini file to your liking
• Optionally, in the .ini you can enable copying of free downloadable content from the donor save that's provided inside the bonus folder. This will give you access to the exclusive event quests, item packs and palicoes. If you want to provide your own donor save instead, you can.
