Monster Hunter Twitter responds to Matchmaking issues

“Hello Hunters, we’re aware of the Xbox matchmaking issues and dev team is actively investigating it, we’ll update you as soon as we can.”

[CyberSentinel]

Fair concern, surprising Capcom wouldn’t do an open beta for all platforms.

[lxeasy]

Yeah Betas should not be exclusive to consoles if its multiplat.

[tiyoxela]

I'm taken by surprise that a stay at home mom able to make $12989 in four weeks on the computer .
look at this now............. http://www.fl-y.com/3qx0

[TheColbertinator]

No problems for me so far in connection but sucks for those who have not upgraded to the Xbox One X which runs it fantastic.

[Jinger]

I have the X1X and while the Game looks and plays fantastic... The servers are empty, no one is in the social areas or posting jobs supposedly.. the matchmaking is jacked right now

[NecrumOddBoy]

Empty servers are the result of no one playing on the Xbox

[Cueil]

Plenty of people are LFG just use that for now

[KillBill]

@NecrumOddBoy - bad timing on the attempted slam of servers being empty on XB1 when PSN issues caused even a large event like #FIFAeWorldCup to get moved to Xbox. A huge fiasco for Sony. https://twitter.com/Futhead...

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Yeah because that is what's keeping the mp from being jacked up lol man you're such a fanboy and will plug the x1x any chance you get like you're trying to justify your purchase to yourself or something

[killswitch80]

its not empty servers on xbox one .matchmaking is just completely broke at the moment.

[killswitch80]

you are playing with friends...its matchmaking that is broke. You can still add friends to your sessions or join friend session. ..no one will ever join you and you can never join randoms

[chris235]

sounds perfect :P

[Sm00thNinja]

Y'all just love spreading misinformation to push an agenda. Game is broken online atm. I habe the game on Pro and have been unable to get online since day one, zero hour. Has nothing to do with Xbox One player counts or servers, game is busted.

[SirBradders]

I have it on the pro and I have zero problem finding games and I'm HR9 so have spent a fair few hours online.

[Sm00thNinja]

I'm only HR5 just beat the Anjanath and STILL have yet to connect without a 5xxx error or 399x error. Game is great regardless but I eventually wanna play online

[ziggurcat]

"I habe the game on Pro and have been unable to get online since day one, zero hour."

So then it has nothing to do with the beta being exclusive... ?

[sigrid]

Maybe the problem is that there aren't enough players on Xbox to be able to connect with someone near enough to create a stable connection.

[Jinger]

I doubt that. It's 16 players to a social space. You telling me there is less than 16 players?

[Servbot41]

Spaces don't even fill up to 16 on PS4 because people are usually jumping from room to room. Its not remotely difficult to find a party on PS4, but room size isn't proof of that.

[chris235]

with the missing number of games on the xoxbox this really could be the case

[OpieWinston]

Guess when I saw no one in CoD WW2 HQ it was not enough players.
No it's not showing anyone, when my body and I are in the same group in the gathering hub.

[Broomfondle]

Still playing COD Infinite Warfare.

[AizenSosuke]

Lack of Xbox players like Japanese games nothing new here

[kdmitchell_toh]

Means nothing. this was a game that is/was going to be released on both the PS4 and Xbox One. Their parity hurt the Xbox One, regardless the status of the system in Japan. I and other gaming journalists have been asking Capcom for months, why there wasn't any word on either the PC or Xbox One beta for the title. We found out why the PC didn't have one, but they were mum on the Xbox One.

The fact that the Xbox One X version runs just as good (bad) as the PS4 Pro version is an issue. Friends have stated the single and multiplayer was a wreck, which is why I changed my pre-order to the PS4 version. I still have my Xbox One version, but since it's a CE, I'm just going to sell it.

[Teflon02]

What you don't get is that this is a Japanese dev. They just don't care about a console struggling to doo 100k lifetime. So that's why if it's only on par with pro, that's all the work they did. I'm still surprised that Xbox got the game at all

[nix]

Everyone knows the game is going to sell the most on PS4. Even I'm surprised that it got an Xbox release.

[mokkeyrg2]

X1 version plays fine lol wat on earth r u woffling.

[TheDriz]

“Journalists”

[Rude-ro]

The pairity hurt the Xbox?
You do realize these console only run phrases versions of the core console. Ie the Xbox one hurts the x.
If anything, the Xbox one hurts all consoles.

[killswitch80]

ha ha no..its just broke ...so if that was the logic that would mean no one is plaing monster hunter world but the reality is matchmaking is broke..you can play with friends though.

[ziggurcat]

No.

[Kribwalker]

there’s server issues on a system that wasnt properly tested in the wild, and No? Really? Ziggur you got more sense then that

[ziggurcat]

the blame lies on the shoulders of the devs, not the amount of betas.

and how do you know it wasn't properly tested? I worked in video game QA for many years, even the most rigourous in-house testing isn't going to predict how the game functions in a real-world environment. I've seen games be perfectly fine during the development cycle, and end up having a few hiccups once its released.

[Kribwalker]

it wasn’t vigorously tested if there wasn’t a beta tho ziggur. an open beta is the only way to have real world testing. and one of the consoles had real world testing while the other didn’t.

[ziggurcat]

You're just assuming with no proof, Krib. I've worked in that environment, I know what goes on, especially when it comes to online functionality testing. An open beta still isn't going to reveal every single problem.

[Kribwalker]

“even the most rigourous in-house testing isn't going to predict how the game functions in a real-world environment”

the only way to predict it is to use a real world test, otherwise known as an open betA

[ziggurcat]

Nope. Even that won’t prevent issues from surfacing once the game hits the retail market.

[Kribwalker]

So you are telling me there is no way for them to have prevented issues like these ones by doing an open beta? So there was no chance they would have found any of these issues by doing an open beta? None at all? Then why would they do open betas on games? If it wasn’t to test for issues

[ziggurcat]

There is no way to prevent 100% of issues from occurring.

"So there was no chance they would have found any of these issues by doing an open beta?"

I never said some of these thing wouldn't get caught, I said that open betas don't catch 100% of everything, even matchmaking problems:

"An open beta still isn't going to reveal every single problem."

Plus with open betas you're relying on people who mainly download these things just so they can play the game early, not report bugs. They're not as effective as you think they are.

[Jinger]

The game is fantastic, but yeah the servers are eff'd. Can't find any game, empty social space... hopefully they fix this. Making a beta exclusive is just dumb.

[megaleo009]

The problem are the players,little bit players here and there.

[killswitch80]

That is not the problem. ..They never properly tested it and it doesn't exist ..its just does not function.

[bolimekurac]

why are there betas for any game, why arent they fixing games in house like they used too, now days a game is already old by the time its released

[Nyxus]

Because this a multiplayer focused game.

[Father__Merrin]

This should have been PS4 only

[Tankbusta40]

Dumbest comment of the day... It's crazy you have more likes than dislikes for this garbage opinion. More platforms mean more sales... Get a functioning non fan boy brain.

[Ricegum]

Triggered

[Sirk7x]

Some people think every game should be on PS4 only.

[Rude-ro]

No &Sirk7x
It is every game sees better benefits from releasing on PS4 with almost 3x the consumer base.

[babadivad]

And yet he has more agrees than disagrees. Kinda shows the pulse of N4G encapsulated in one idiotic post.

[babadivad]

@Rude-ro

If consumer base is the end all be all, then every game should release on PC only. Don't try to justify fanboy logic. The only reason why "Father__Merrin" wanted the game "Only on PS4" is because he's a fanboy. His logic/reasoning begins and ends there.

[Yohshida]

Exclusive beta is the most stupid thing in gaming

[EsotericAnomaly]

You'd think by name developers such as Capcom would cover all bases.

Over a decade seems to have passed where you bought a game and jumped online with a decent online experience.

Now you buy the game, install the game, patch the game, least they can do is ensure you can enjoy the bloody thing lol.

Mistakes can happen yes m, it's more complex technology that I can appreciate. I'm just naively hoping big developers release games that avoid launch issues entirely.

[DefaultComment]

Fair complain, if they released the beta for all platforms like they should then they would got the proper feedback from their potential future customers.

[Tankbusta40]

With respect COD has betas on all platforms and when it releases every year it doesn't work right for over a week... Betas are just hype vehicles and pre order bonuses now, they aren't for actually making the game better

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

There have been betas I've played which caused me not to buy the game, but your right, they're designed to get people hyped for a game. Just wish demo's were more common, you don't see them very often any more.

[Xx_Pistol_xX]

Meanwhile the PC community doesn't get any betas and don't complain.

[Codedan]

PC has betas all the time. What are you talking about?

[Xx_Pistol_xX]

Dragonball Beta Nope.
Monster Hunter Beta Nope.
Metal Gear Survive Beta Nope.

[killswitch80]

don't worry you will when its unoptimized and matchmaking is broke for PC as well.

[Cohagen420]

Crappier worse selling console receives a worse version??? Epic breaking news..

[killswitch80]

by issues they mean matchmaking is completely broken. hope you have friends to play with

[InTheZoneAC]

issues? Seems to be working great for me.

DBFZ had a beta and I can't even play against friends online in ring matches...

[OneLove]

Ya it's broken.

[Tankbusta40]

Fix the brightness!!! HDR is totally washed out

[irishyort]

This has been surprisingly sold out at 3 of my local and surrounding EB games stores for Xbox. I thought it was a PS dominate game so was very odd. The server issues and connection issues are unfortunately a result of not having the Beta test on Xbox. Im dying to give it a go however. Looks fantastic.

[Sirk7x]

Xbox here, can't even connect to people on my friends list atm.

[zerocarnage]

Yeah I seen it on Twitter, surprised they even took to it but great they have to let fans know.

Capcom are doing a fine job, shame the multiplayer is down but won't stop me playing while its fixed..

[zerocarnage]

Who are the idiots disagreeing about betas shouldn't be exclusives for consoles that release games on all platforms, are you lot completely brain dead..

[Sirk7x]

They're salty the game even came to other platforms in the first place.
