Monster Hunter Wilds Patch Today (March 4): What’s in store

According to the X post, Monster Hunter Wilds Hotfix Patch Ver. 1.000.04.00 addresses the following issues:

  • During Main Mission: Chapter 5-2 “A World Turned Upside Down,” an NPC may not appear, preventing further progression.
  • The “Grill a Meal” and “Ingredient Center” features cannot be unlocked even after meeting the progress criteria.

You will need to close your game for the update to take place. Once the process is complete, you can restart the game and check the version number on the title screen.

The following currently known issues are being actively worked on by Capcom:

  • 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 or exhaust damages.

There’s no confirmed release date for when these issues will be fixed, but we expect to hear more from the devs over the coming days. For those interested, the following Monster Hunter Wilds issues have already been fixed (apart from the two addressed in today’s patch):

  • When heading to Azuz during Main Mission: Chapter 2-1 “Toward Fervent Fields,” players keep falling through the map.
  • The Monster Field Guide cannot be accessed.
  • At the Smithy, an issue may occur where tutorials are repeatedly shown, disabling certain options in the menu.
  • When guarding a monster’s attack with a lance using Power Guard under certain conditions, the weapon flashes red, but the effect is not activated.
  • When using a mantle, a Weapon Equipment Skill may mistakenly be activated.
  • Some effects may be displayed continuously when using certain skills, such as Peak Performance and Self-Improvement.
  • When successfully performing an Offset Attack with the Insect Glaive’s Descending Slash under certain conditions, the hunter freezes and becomes unresponsive to any controls.
  • Addressed issues that occurred under certain conditions with screen rendering and causing force quits.
