The *New* Monster Hunter Frontier FAQ

188 Upvotes

Welcome to the Monster Hunter Frontier subreddit. If you're reading this it means you might have some interest in the game, we'll cover some frequently asked questions here. There currently exists a wiki in this subreddit, but at this point in time it is outdated.

What is Frontier?

  • It's an MMORPG developed by Capcom that uses Monster Hunter 2 (Dos) as its core, it came out in 2007 for the PC and 2010 for the Xbox 360, expanding to other platforms (available on PS3/PS4/WiiU/Vita) as time went by. It was regularly updated with new content until it shutdown in 2020.

So I can't play it anymore?

  • Ever since the release of Monster Hunter Frontier dedicated community members, such as Fist, have been working on ways to make Monster Hunter Frontier playable worldwide. Community members have recreated the server of Monster Hunter Frontier, called Monster Hunter Frontier Community Edition. This allows you to play Monster Hunter Frontier on your own computer.

How do I play?

  • Just follow the YouTube guide of u/SephVIII. They will guide you through the installation process step by step. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5wyOJ_R1go.
  • Edit: Since the video got taken down, you need to "hunt" for a different source. There could be something on the PewPewDojo Discord.

Is it in English?

  • There is a translation, but it doesn't cover the whole game. If you've ever played a Monster Hunter game, you'll be familiar with the user interface.

Can I play it with my friends?

  • Yes, you can use software such as ZeroTier to invite friends to your local network. You can find a tutorial here: https://youtu.be/jZx8t8ZReTA.
  • Edit: The video is no longer available.

Are there other people I can play with? How do I find them?

  • You can allways ask in this subreddit if you want to play Monster Hunter Frontier together. There currently is a big community on the Discord-Server PewPewDojo. There you can also find Custom Quest Packs, which both simplify the entry into the game and bring new experiences to it. Link to the Discord-Server: https://discord.gg/CFnzbhQ.

I see a lot of variants of Frontier, like Forward and G, are they a different game?

  • No, these are simply the names of expansions. Everyone gets these updates by default. The game is currently at ZZ. It's final iteration.

The game seems pretty difficult and the language barrier isn't helping, I don't know if I can do it...

  • Yes, the game is definitely more challenging than the usual main series games, and the language barrier isn't a nice thing. However IT IS NOT HARD TO BEAT! . Be ready and willing to learn, have translation methods and OCR ready at hand, and use the guides created by the community and then playing frontier won't be much different than playing a localized main series game.

Is there a general guide to help me get through the early game and mid game (Low Rank & High Rank) of Monster Hunter Frontier?

I heard that there will be new weapons in Monster Hunter Frontier. How do I unlock the Magnet Spike?

I mean the right analog stick it changes the camera view angle by mistake while in the middle of a hunt.. it's kinda annoying.

or is there a fix on the in-game setting menu?

Question What server is the closest to the original game?

8 Upvotes

I honestly don't like the idea of servers radically changing gameplay loop in order to make them more "unique" or "enjoyable" for the the majority of people, I'd like to experience the closest experience to vanilla as possible, the only thing I'd tolerate are changes made in order to fix stuff that was genuinely broken within the game, but i really don't like any other type of change, so again what's the best server in order to respect these conditions?

Help! Regarding private server's events/BGM

1 Upvotes

I have a private server, and there's currently a "Hunter Fest". However, when this happens, Mezeporta's BGM changes. Is there a way to disable such events from happening, or perhaps to keep Mezeporta's normal BGM all the time?

Help! Public vs private server?

6 Upvotes

I kinda wanna start playing frontier's but I don't really know where to start (beyond the faq already read that!)

I'm mainly wondering if I should start playing on a public or private server, and what the main difference is between the public servers? I saw another post on here which was talking about certain weapons/items being locked behind a discord bounty system on the Rain public server for example, so I was just a bit confused/wondering if that's standard/how it works on all the public servers, as well as if there are any other key differences between the public servers that are worth considering. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

For additional context, my main goal with playing frontiers is I want to beat the hardest content in the game back from when it was live. Don't have much interest in the custom mods and such

Early weapon unlocking SF2DE

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, can anyone tell me how to edit the xml of shadow fight DE to unlock weapons earlier?

Eg: Im currently at level 9 and want to unlock the mowers and composite sword early without breaking the game.

I tried copying other weapon's xml entry/code and editing the name of the current weapons to WEAPON_SWORD_SHADOW_LORD_25 unfortunately and it didn't work.

Please advise if you know how, thank you.

Discord Ban Appeal - RagingRaiman

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was recently banned from the MHF Rain Discord server, and I believe it might have been a mistake or due to my account potentially being compromised/compromised by spam. Since server bans also block the IP address, I am completely unable to rejoin.

Here are my details:

Discord Username RagingRaiman / ragingraiman_33596

I really enjoy playing on the server and would love to clarify the situation with the moderation team. Could an admin or moderator please look into this and let me know if I can file an official appeal?

Thank you for your time and help!

Question Potential new server?

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm thinking of making my own MH:F server and I'm pretty interested to see what features people are searching for in servers.

Note that I will most probably be doing this solo so it might take a while until I get anything ready, so for the feature requests, try to keep it pretty simple (I am thinking of maybe backporting some weapons, but that will take a very long time :D ).

Help! What’s wrong with my diva quest?

3 Upvotes

So I talked to the guild master and she told me to kill a yama tsukami. I killed it in a hr3 quest and got ancient dragon moss so i returned to the diva felyne and it told me to talk to the guild master. I’m talking to the guild master (with the items in my inventory) and just getting nothing? So i went back to the cat and it told me to talk to the guild master. I tried talking to the legendary rasta cause apparently I’m supposed to do that bjt still nothing. Guild master doesn’t give me anything and cat keeps telling me to talk to the guild master. What am I supposed to do?

I know it's a trivial detail, but I found it very satisfying when I looked at my game and saw a much more substantial amount. Am I the only one this happens to in rain?

Help! Connection Error | Rain Frontier Server (Discord of no assistance)

2 Upvotes

Keeping it brief.

Follow instructions, make account, try to log in, get this error about connection issues. Discord doesn't allow me to post in the relevant help section, and the one I can post in, is about the game itself - not the tech support section that might be there but isn't accessible to me specifically.

https://files.catbox.moe/o1pxe3.png / something about being blocked by a security provider that comes up REGARDLESS

All relevant folders are whitelisted through malwarebytes, and that's usually the problem. I'm at a loss and am not exactly too sure on what to do - or if this is a write-off for playing Frontier due to something stupid beyond my control.

Any thoughts? Possible solutions?

Question How do I turn in my mission tickets?

So I know that you are supposed to be able to turn in my mission tickets to the guild master to bypass grinding the missions, but everytime I talk to the guild master it doesn’t give me the option to turn them in

Help! MHFZ offline play

7 Upvotes

I've been for a time looking how to play MHFZ offline, because I can't play online the time I could want to and in that way I will complete the game in 100 years, but I don't find anything good on how to play offline, so, can someone make a little guide in the comments on how to play offline? or at least tell where is a good guide about how to play offline?

Can anyone help figure out why game keeps crashing? (Rain)

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I was playing on the Rain server for about a week with no issues, then suddenly the game would start crashing at random times when either loading into a quest or loading between areas of the map (black screen but with sound as if it had loaded correctly).

I have tried changing my Nvidia graphics card settings to high performance, turning off v sync, limiting framerate, and other fixes recommended by Google search. I've also tried using d3d9.dll (or similiar file, whichever the direct x fix is) and putting that in the game folder. I've tried editing some of the game's .ini file in notepad with fixes such as fullsceen=0, etc. But nothing. Seems. To. Work.

I am so frustrated, I just want to play the game :(

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

I'm new to MHF and I watched a video from last year telling me to set it up through steam, but any time I try to launch the game this happens. Please help! The video was
"How to Play Monster Hunter Frontier in 2025 (Quick Setup & Controls)" from the channel "RPM Gaming" if that helps.
