Since Monster Hunter Rise was released, it had a few errors that players kept encountering while playing the game. While the launch may have been ‘bumpy,’ to say the least, the errors are what you might expect from any game. Sure, some were individual to this game, but most of the time, players got the usual connection, compatibility, and other similar issues.
Among them, the most common one in Monster Hunter Rise was a connection error. Players kept getting “Communication Error Occurred” when getting into a lobby. Read on to find a way to fix it!
Communication Error Occurred – Monster Hunter Rise [Fix]
At this moment in time, it is still unknown whether this issue is an underlying problem with the game or an individual with its players. However, chances are that it is both.
The fixes we will cover are what you might expect for fixing connection-related issues.
NOTE: Try to launch the game and connect to a lobby in between trying each of the methods outlined below.
Switch to a Wired Connection
Switch to an ethernet cable if you’re trying to launch the game with a Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi connections are far less stable and slower on average than wired.
In any case, while it may seem like it might not make any difference, it does, no matter how close the connection’s origin is.
Reset Your Router
This does a couple of things. Other than clearing up everything, it resets many things, including your already-set settings, but still, it is worth giving it a shot.
However, if this cliché method doesn’t help, proceed with the next one on the list.
Forget Network & Set Nat Type B
Clear all of your network settings on your Nintendo Switch. This includes forgetting your current network and setting up a new one from scratch.
On top of that, other players have confirmed that having your connection at Nat Type B seems to be better and will mitigate this issue.
Other than that, other fixes include: resenting your Switch and reinstalling the game. Monster Hunter Rise is a great game, but these connection errors can sometimes be inconvenient. Nonetheless, we will follow this issue and cover it if there is a proper fix. Stay tuned.
