Capcom has released a new update for Monster Hunter Wilds, which mainly fixes for some frustrating bugs that made customizing equipment or collecting monster parts more frustrating. You can find the full patch notes below.
Monster Hunter Wilds launched on the last day of February and has already sold over 8 million copies, according to Capcom. While Monster Hunter Wilds is a great game overall, players did spot several issues that made the hunting process more frustrating. New content is on the way in Title Update 1 next month, but in the meantime Capcom has addressed a number of the issues in Monster Hunter Wilds Ver. 1.000.05.00.
That notably includes a glitch where cut-off monster parts would change into different monster parts and issues that would revert certain customization changes when using the Equipment Loadout menu. You can check out the full list of issues Capcom plans to resolve in Ver. 1.000.05.00 below. courtesy of the official support page for Monster Hunter Wilds.
Additionally, Capcom also confirmed some other issues with Monster Hunter Wilds that it recognizes are there but that won’t be resolved in the next patch. That includes the following:
- A network error occurs when firing an SOS flare right after a quest begins.
- Link Members are not prioritized over other players and may not appear in some places including Base Camps.
- Palico’s attacks with blunt weapons do not inflict stun and exhaust damages.
- Hunter Profile cannot be edited properly in some occasions.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
