0.13.1 - Shared Urgent Quests

MHGU Recomp 0.13.1

• Added optional feature to mark Urgent Quests as completed for people joining a posted Urgent Quest. That means you don't have to re-run the same quest up to 4 times in a row to advance in Hunter Rank anymore. This option is enabled by default. (Fixes #175)
• Fixed display scaling on Wayland causing the game to not render at the correct resolution. (Fixes #170)
• Removed AMD FSR 4 support, since it was causing issues and I don't have any testing setups that can actually run it. FSR 3.1 is still available.

Installation

Windows/Linux

• Download the release zip/tar.gz for your platform, and extract it 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 to generate the ini, press F1 to change settings
• 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/ or in the Cheats submenu in the F1 menu
• Optionally, in the options 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.

Android (experimental)

Android setup instructions

1. Download the Android APK below and open it on your device. Android will ask you to allow installing apps from your browser or file manager.

2. Start MHGU Recomp once. It will say the game files were not found. That's expected: it has now created its folder.

3. Connect the device to your PC with USB and choose File transfer on the device.

4. On the PC, open the device's storage and go to Android/data/io.github.morerokk.mhgurecomp/files/. Copy your exefs and romfs folders into the data folder there, so it looks like this:

   Android/data/io.github.morerokk.mhgurecomp/files/
     data/
       exefs/
         main
         (main.npdm, rtld, sdk, subsdk0)
       romfs/
         nativeNX/
         (the rest of the game's romfs)
   

   If you don't see the files or data folder, restart the device and reconnect it, or create data yourself. On Android 11 and newer, the device's own file manager can't open Android/data, so use a PC.
   With adb, you can push them instead: adb push exefs romfs /sdcard/Android/data/io.github.morerokk.mhgurecomp/files/data/

5. Connect your controller and start the game. Press Plus+Minus to open the settings menu.

Bringing a save over: put its system and system_backup files in save/save_0/ inside that same files folder. From the PC version, copy them from %APPDATA%\MHGURecomp\save\save_0\ (Linux: ~/.local/share/MHGURecomp/save/save_0/). Copy save/save_0/ back to your PC now and then as a backup.

Mods and cheats go in mods/ and cheats/ in the files folder. Settings are in mhgurecomp.ini and the log is log.txt.

Updating: install the newer APK over the old one; your game files, saves and settings stay. Don't uninstall first: uninstalling deletes the whole files folder, including your game files and saves.
