Capcom has released a major update for Monster Hunter Wilds, which aims to tackle some of the game’s biggest issues. These issues include the game’s rather severe crashing problems and the poor optimisation that has been plaguing it since its launch.
It has been nearly two weeks since Monster Hunter Wilds’ explosive release, where it made a huge splash on Steam, hitting over 1.3 million concurrent players. Since then, the game has fallen to a still astonishing 932,298 24-hour peak.
Although the game has a huge player base, it has been suffering from numerous issues, which have led it to be stuck with 61% positive reviews on Steam despite the game’s extreme popularity.

Monster Hunter Wilds hotfix Ver.1.000.05.00 addresses several critical bugs, including the inability to unlock cooking features, repeated tutorial prompts at the Smithy, screen rendering and force quit issues, incorrect monster part drops, general crashes and abnormal monster behavior, and a progression-blocking NPC absence in a main mission.
