Capcom acknowledges connection issues with the Xbox version of Monster Hunter World, its big action RPG.

Monster Hunter: World is gaining heaps of praise across the industry for its beauty, depth, and addictive qualities, however, it hasn't all been plain sailing on Xbox One.

Beyond the technical issues that hinder the game's performance, Monster Hunter: World also suffers from server problems that are preventing players from connecting for co-operative play. Thankfully, Capcom is working to fix the issues.

In a post on Twitter, Capcom said the following.

  • Maybe if they had made the beta available on Xbox too, we wouldn’t be in this mess...
  • Perhaps some time should be spent fixing the One X version so it at least looks on par with the PS4Pro version.  With crappy textures (hence the game's tiny 13.6gig install size) and everything looking blurry compared to the Pro, somehting is clearly wrong with the game or the development team.
  • Well they said dev is investigating not working on a fix.
    Which could be they're in denial or incompetent.
  • They can't create a fix until the cause of the issue has been investigated. The fix should follow the investigation.
  • The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem.
    Investigation comes in third after diagnosis
  • Bored aintcha
  • Can you blame me. There's no more Windows Phone news
  • I'm actually looking forward to playing this. I haven't played Monster Hunter since I had the original PSP. Man, brings back memories of portable gaming. It put the Gameboy to shame. The media format IMO is what helped kill the PSP. Anyway, I enjoyed Monster Hunter on the PSP and it had lots of monsters to fight and the graphics were pretty damn good for the time.
  • More like massive connection problems with dragon Ball. Omg
  • Is it me or the jumping hoops for co op just asinine?
  • Capcom continues to sabotage Xbox with lack of care for the system.
  • Why do they need to fix it if all the reviewers are giving the game 9+ out of 10 anyway?
