A Monster Hunter Rise reset onSteammight be just what you need to get the latest patch for the new DLC working.
If you’re having issues withMonster Hunter Rise, a good remedy and first step is to clear out anything that shouldn’t be in your game files and then repair anything that’s damaged or missing. Issues after or during patching are surprisingly common with the latest updates forMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, with several reports flooding the Steam forums. Being unable to take on giant crabs and explore the new Jungle area is a terrible burden to bear when all you want to do is start tracking fistfuls of new monsters at the bounty board.
Whether it’s just from hiccups in the patching process, spotty internet access during downloads, or even if you’ve just been modding your game - a reset may help. While you’ll break any of the modding you’ve done, and thus won’t have any UI tweaks, weird outfits, or quality of life mods – that’s a small price to pay to fix any issues with the new DLC and patches.

Monster Hunter Rise reset: how to reset your install
Though this process won’t affect saves, if you’re really worried you can always back up yourMonster Hunter Rise save filefirst, too.
Here’s how to do a reset:
Monster Hunter Rise is worth the effort to get working again, especially with the Sunbreak DLC bringing new places to explore and creatures to conquer. This appears to be a worthwhile expansion, that expands on the formula that Capcom did so well with. While it’s not Monster Hunter World, Rise has carved out its own identity that has only grown with Sunbreak.While Steam itself rarely has issues anymore with specific titles, individual patches are another story, and mods can always play havoc with your installations over time. That’s why it’s never a bad idea to tidy up before a big patch or after coming back to your install after being distracted by the rest of your gaming backlog.
