Crashing ONLY when fighting Jhin Dahaad

[Tempuras]

Hey!
I have been enjoying the game so far, but when trying to fight Jhin Dahaad the game randomly crashes for some reason.

I have updated my drivers, cleared the shaders cache and disabled some settings but it keeps happening.

Does someone know for a solution for this? Or at least, if someone has the same problem


PS: This ONLY happens when fighting Jhin Dahaad, I have never experienced crashes other than in this fight.

My Specs, if needed:

RTX 4060
Ryzen 7 5700X 4.3Ghz
32 GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM
1TB NVMe SSD

Have you fought other monsters after Jin Dahaad without any issues or is he the latest one you've faced? My husband now has crashes immediately on startup but IIRC it started during the Jin Dahaad fight and then the crashes progressively happened sooner and sooner.

Start with making a savegame backup.

Then proceed here with tip #16

If the issue persists, share a DxDiag report

is it crashing at a certain point? my first thought would be a corrupt shader or something, since that fight is pretty unique. Could try deleting something small in your MHWilds install folder, then verifying integrity thru Steam. or, if your drivers need an update, do that. it reloads shaders when you open the game afterward. idk if there's a way to flush the shader cache, but it's weird that it's only crashing on that one hunt

edit: scratch that do what Angel said that's a lot more safe lol

You have not written anything wrong.

In fact, that section in the guide exists mainly because it is always the same:

- delete shader cache
- verify game files
- repair Steam Library
- delete Steam Download cache

Always the same troubleshooting first steps before checking if it is something else, like Media Player Code, considering the cutscene change, or savegame corruption.

I am just lazy to write the same thing down again and again and it is easier to point towards a guide which has some screenshots for easy understanding.

So basically the same you wrote too. Your comment is helpful without doubts.

Yes, the crashing has happened many times, so I just skipped the fight entirely after finishing it for the first time in the story (After like 5 crashes)

But now I wanted to see if, after the updates, it fixed the fight, but it still crashes at any point, it can be at the start/mid/end of the fight
