How to fix Monster Hunter Now ‘location permissions not set’ error

by

When playing Monster Hunter Now, you may experience the following error message:

Location Permissions Not Set

In order to play this game, access to location permissions must be allowed on your device.

To see how you can potentially fix this issue for the Monster Hunter mobile spin-off, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential fix, you should check that you have the correct Location setting set for the game.

On iOS, you need to set Location to either “Always” or “While Using the App” for Monster Hunter Now.

On Android, the Location Permission needs to be set to either “Allow all the time” or “Allow only while using the app.”

2. If your Location settings are correct, then you can try closing any other opened or background-running apps on your smartphone.

3. Phones use Bluetooth, GPS and/or Wi-Fi to determine your general location. So, if there is some sort of wireless interference, then you may not be able to play Monster Hunter Now.

In this case, you can try moving into a different area to see if you can get better wireless signals.

4. Restarting your phone may also help as doing so will reset the wireless connections that are used to determine your location.

5. You can also try deleting and then re-installing Monster Hunter Now.

How to make sprinting less clunky in Assassin’s Creed Mirage

by

In order to sprint in Assassin’s Creed Mirage when playing with a controller, you need to press L3 on the DualShock 4/DualSense or press down on the left stick on the Xbox One/Xbox Series gamepad.

If you find that this method is too clunky and/or awkward, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can make running feel more natural.

1. If you haven’t done so already, open the Options menu

2. Next, you need to head over to the Controls tab.

If you are playing the game with a controller, you are able to change tabs in Mirage by using the L1 and R1 buttons on a PlayStation pad or LB and RB buttons on an Xbox tab.

3. Select the Customize Control options in the Controls tab.

4. We recommend changing the sprint button to R2 or RT. By doing so, you will be able to sprint without using the L3 button or pressing down on the left analog stick of the Xbox controller.

Alternatively, if you have a DualSense Edge or Xbox Elite Controller, then you can assign one of the back buttons to L3 or pressing down on the left analog stick.

Either way, sprinting in Assassin’s Creed Mirage should feel less clunky as you no longer have to press the left analog button to activate it.

How to fix Assassin’s Creed Mirage HDR and brightness issues on consoles

by

You may notice that Assassin’s Creed Mirage may look too dark in some areas, too bright in others or appears to be generally washed out. To see how you can fix the HDR and brightness issues with this PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X open-world title, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. If you are playing the game in HDR, then you could try toggling the automatic HDR feature if you enabled it on your console.

To do so on the PS5, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > HDR.

On Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, head over to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video modes.

If you have Auto HDR enabled previously, then you can try turning off this feature or vice versa to see if doing so fixes the brightness issues in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

2. If you have Dynamic Tone Mapping, HGiG or another similar setting on your TV that will convert the picture into HDR, then you can try toggling it on and off as well.

3. You can also try adjusting the brightness and contrast levels on your TV or monitor. We also suggest increasing the black levels on the screen’s settings menu if possible if the game appears to be too dark to see.

4 Moreover, you should make sure that the HDR output is properly calibrated on your console.

On the PS4, you need to go to Settings> Sound and Screen > Video Output Settings > Adjust HDR.

For the PS5, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR.

On Xbox, you need to select Settings > General > TV & display options > Calibrate HDR for games.

5. If the HDR still does not look quite right, then you can use the in-game brightness output settings. You can find the following adjustable options from the Screen tab in the Options menu:

  • Brightness
  • Contrast
  • Maximum Luminous
  • Exposure

Play around with these settings until the brightness appears to be just right. You may need to re-adjust these when moving from a dark environment to a bright environment or vice versa.

6. You should also make sure that you have the latest patch downloaded for Mirage as a new update may improve the lighting in the game without you having to make any additional adjustments.
