Forgot to mention guys, when you first start the game you might get a few errors. There is a thread in the discord that will help you solve these errors or ask in the questions channel. Most often its because one of the ini files needs to be replaced, and DirectX runtime needs to be installed especially if trying to play on High Grade.
Should probably pin this comment if ya want others to see it, that way anyone with this issue can easily figure out where to go and what to do. Or you could also just put it in the description~
thank you so much, I remember I tried to play it 2 years ago, but I couldn't get into it because of the lack of info and guides. I'm also very happy to see how easy it is to setup now
man this help so much and very easy to follow! thx man i've been wanting to play this game since eve completed freedom, 4u and GU. and also thx for the guide docs! that will absolutely help since im prty sure this game will be overwhelming lmao
Note, you can add the folder exclusion before turning off the antivirus if you just make a new folder before extracting and add that new folder to the exclusions list. That way you don't have to turn off the antivirus while extracting and it'll still work. If you don't like having a folder in a folder, you can just extract the files that are in the zipped folder directly to the new folder you made already
Great video leaps, this is definitely helpful for the newbies! There’s also commands for !download and !bind for further instructions 👏 I was also thinking of making a guide for the armor set searcher but if you think you want to make one that would be great!
Hi so I have a steam deck and when I get to anti virus part I’m not sure what to do cause on the steam deck it doesn’t show any anti virus in the setting
So i logged in and everything worked but when i tried to play at a later time is saying "Failed to transfer data from server. Please relog." Any fixes?
Yes, there is a controller guide in Rain, but usually people use Steam or XInputPlus for xbox controllers. Some people are lucky and a usb 360 controller might work natively.
@@LeapsGaming Thank you for the quick reply. I enabled the controller on steam but the controls are a little wonky. Where is the controller guide in Rain? I apologize I am not very tech savvy with discord.
I've done everything and I can play the game, but when I connect my Ps4 controller the sound and music disappear. I tried changing the sound settings from the PC, but it's not working. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have not tried the game yet and idk if you already solved it, but PS4 and PS5 controllers are annoying because they have speakers on the controller. Whenever you connect them to a PC, windows will automatically change the sound output to the controller speakers. You need to change the sound output on windows and make sure to just disable the controller speaker driver on windows so it never automatically changes wheneve you connect the controller. I hope that helps if you still haven't solved it! Edit: also in some games you will need to restart the game for it to work again. This might be the case with MH frontier
Yes, I had to change the sound output and some settings until it finally fixed. Also, the main problem that I was having was with the playstation button on the controller. If you press it while connected to your pc, the game will mute and you won't be able to change the sound settings until you leave the game. Thank you for the advices!
Hello, I'm trying to download the game but, all the links say many have been accessing these files in the last 24 hours, plz try again later. I asked on the discord a guy said you might just have to wait/be patient which im fine with doing if its the only way but I was gonna ask if you ever seen that before or know a way to by pass it maybe if not all good.
@@LeapsGaming if its frame generation then it's no good because it makes it worse, i'm guessing that's what it will be. I suffer with motion sickness with high input lag. i feel sick after a few mins if playing, its like travel sickness, but it doesn't bother some people so i dont expect people to understand. still i wanted to ask because i wish i could play it.
@@ricky_pigeon I have no idea myself, but I do think it is frame generation since actually increasing fps causes things to be wonky. Base game is capped 30fps
@@LeapsGaming The PSP versions have FPS hacks, but i'm guessing this version has the AI or some other timers tied to the frame rate. Thankyou for answering anyway.
Update I got it to show in desktop mode, but then experienced difficulties.. currently don’t have a pc cuz I’m building a new one so I’m trying on my Mac.. if anyone knows how to run on steam deck effectively lmk
@@LeapsGaming update I got it to work on desktop mode. Just trying to configure to use a controller via stream deck dock ! Anyone who’s having problem on deck .. Dxd file 9 does not work we need dxd 10 and use all compilers .. winetricks is needed/ force run proton experiential/ for some brief info
It is safe, the three links are the same file. Its a modified exe so some antivirus protection just detects it as that. If you search in the discord this has been brought up before, its a false positive. The official signatures for the executable are long expired
Yes, but for Rain specifically, registering/binding after helps if you end up having trouble with logging in, or if you have questions about the game, and you get other benefits like bounties/participation in Raviente raids
@@thefoxofdoom1 I assumed you were talking about just playing in your own server? If so PewPewDojo discord, which is linked in the Rain discord, would be the best place. There might be other places that know like the r/MHF subreddit, but I am unsure since I have never setup my own. I have heard its a pretty easy process, just haven't wanted to do it.

Thanks bro, this game is amazing and you're to blame for the next 300 hours of my life I will lose to it

Yes there are now a lot of guides/info out there now, its a lot easier to get into!
Wow
i remember some years ago you have to even create the server and DB yourself.
Now is pretty easy and quick

Great guides as always keep it up buddd
the voice cracks made this 2x better
Who does multiple takes here or drinks water when needed? Not me xD
Great Video, will uninstall my game and install it again just for you

I can’t seem to find that register button in the discord.
But sick, video, I’m new to monster hunter and will probably spend hours in this.
You can skip the register step, and use the bind command later! Register is just slightly more convenient
Hi so I have a steam deck and when I get to anti virus part I’m not sure what to do cause on the steam deck it doesn’t show any anti virus in the setting
For setting up steam deck you will have to look in Rain or the PewPewDojo discords, as I do not have a steam deck myself

Whats the specs required to play the game?
I know this sounds like a stupid question but am playing on 2019 laptop that jas aged quite a bit.
The game started in 2007 so you should be fine, might have to play without High Grade Edition graphics, but overall should be fine.
@@LeapsGaming
Thanks!

@@ridelyssxd704 check the Rain discord for this problem. I am sure someone else has encountered it.
is it 60fps unlocked on PC? I want to try it on PC too. In PSVITA its 30fps only
@@juunsei10 30fps on pc as well, I think you can frame gen to 60fps? There is a command in the rain discord !fps that explains more
Should I download it again to play in the rain server?
Rain download includes rain patch, so only if you want to.

Play Offline Without Server?
You can run a server locally I think. That is the best you can do

The Rain Discord has a channel for Vita/Phone. You will have to ask in those channels!
@@LeapsGaming i have no response. I'll try again
It not working for me it says could not be started file could not be read

is it safe? because its detected as trojan the MHFZ exe
