Monster Hunter Outlanders FAQ: Device Requirements, Servers, Login and Lag Fixes
By MetaPatchAI Guides Team · Edited by Stephen Pierce
An evergreen starter FAQ for the mobile Monster Hunter game. It's based only on the official Hunting FAQ from Garena (the publisher) and the official app listings. MetaPatchAI didn't test anything.
Steps (before you start)
- Check your phone against the official specs:
- Minimum: iOS 15+, iPhone 8 Plus or newer, 3GB RAM / Android 9+, Snapdragon 835 or Dimensity 920 or better, 4GB RAM
- Recommended: iOS 17+, iPhone 13 Pro or newer, 6GB RAM / Android 12+, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Dimensity 9200 or better, 8GB RAM
- Pick your server carefully. The servers at launch are Korea, Asia Pacific, MidEast Africa and Latam. Server data can't be transferred, and you can't team up, send friend requests or squad up across regions. Make your character on the same server as your friends.
- Log in with an account you own. The launch options are Google, Apple, Facebook, Garena and Guest. The FAQ says the methods available may vary, so check the login screen.
- Lag or disconnects? Go to Settings, then Network Test, then switch networks or try again later.
- Phone overheating or draining battery? Lower the frame rate and graphics settings.
- Top-up not received? Check your App Store or Google Play purchase history, then log out and back in. If it's still missing, contact Settings, then Customer Service with your account, amount, time, payment method and order number.
