Inspired by elegance, the Full Bloom Fest welcomes players with beautiful decorations sure to bedazzle even the most seasoned "fashion hunters". Here's what you've got to look forward to when the Full Bloom Fest is live for all Iceborne players from April 10th 00:00 UTC (April 9th 5pm PDT). This seasonal event will run through May 7th 23:59 UTC (May 7th 4:59 PDT).

• Luxurious armor sets based on the core theme of elegance and roses are up for grabs.
• Get more daily login bonus items, enjoy discounts at various vendors, and even order a delicious special meal platter limited to the event at the Seliana Gathering Hub.
• Complete special event quests to earn materials for forging special, limited-time weapons like the Whetfish Sabers (dual blades) and layered headgear based on the cute endemic Downy Crakes.
• Even the snowman you can build in quests is in the mood to celebrate and will take on a special floral appearance during the festival.
• In addition to all new event quests, we'll also be redistributing nearly all previously available event quests. So if you happen to miss out on that one piece of limited-time gear, fear not, we've got you covered!

Hope to see you there hunters, and remember, formalwear is encouraged. Happy hunting!

[Update]

We have been informed that a number of users are still experiencing issues after adding the game's folder and files to their anti-virus software's exception/exclusion list. After looking into these reports, we confirmed that the game executable may also be prevented from launching by tools that change the process priority for specified applications.

If you are using such a tool and are still unable to launch the game, we recommend trying to launch it without the tool.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and support.



[Original Notice]
We have confirmed some launching issues affecting some users after updating to Ver. 12.11.00 (released at 0:00 UTC Thursday, March 12) that may be attributed to certain anti-virus software preventing the game executable from launching due to a false-positive error.

If you're experiencing these issues, please see troubleshooting step #2, "Add the game's folder and files to your anti-virus program's exception / exclusion list", at the page below.
