Developer and publisher of Monster Hunter Rise, Capcom, has issued a statement about a known problem with its latest paid expansion Sunbreak.
It seems that customers who chose to buy Sunbreak on Steam, while still playing Monster Hunter Rise, will result in a licencing issue that will see them lose access to the content.
Thankfully, according to the statement which you can read below, all that it takes to fix this problem is a simple reboot of the game.
While it’s good that Capcom is on top of this problem we have to imagine that the actual amount of people who will be affected by it has to be small.
That being said Monster Hunter Rise is a game about grinding so we can definitely see people who have it running much of the time and would still have it in the background when they go to buy the new and anticipated DLC.
Symptoms
- If you buy DLC on the Steam Store during gameplay in Ver.10.0.2.0, a message will appear that states ‘Returning to the Title Screen, because there has been a change in your ownership of add-on content. Do you wish to save?’ taking you back to the title screen. (It may be difficult to select Yes or No when this happens.)
- You may temporarily lose your right to play Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, even if you’ve already purchased it. (You may temporarily not be able to use your previous save data containing the added elements that require the right to play Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.)
What to do if you run into this issue:
The issue can be solved by rebooting the game.
How to avoid this issue:
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please make sure that you are not playing the game when purchasing DLC on the Steam Store.
