Earlier today, Capcom rolled out the latest major update forMonster Hunter Wilds, which brought the game to version 1.021. This added new Tempered monsters, balance changes, and more.
While the new content is something to get excited about for Monster Hunter fans, the patch also introduced a significant bug that causes players to crash.
If you’ve encountered the game crashing frequently after applying the update, you’re not alone.
Monster Hunter Wilds' Latest Update Causes Players To Crash After Fainting
Capcom has acknowledged this major issue and confirmed that a new patch is in development, which will be released as soon as it’s complete.
Players have reported issues whenever their character fainted and returned to camp during Fast Travel, which is something that happens like 90% of the time if you’re fighting against Tempered monsters and other endgame bosses.
Capcomnoted, “We have confirmed that the game may crash when you faint and return to camp during Fast Travel or a quest under certain conditions. Once the update is available, online sessions will be discontinued, and you will need to update to the latest version to continue playing online.”
There’s no timetable for when this new update will be released, but if you factor in console certification, there is a chance it could be pushed out in a day or two, unless Capcom decides to delay it for further testing.
This continues the game’s performance woes. While console gamers might not notice anything too severe, the same can’t be said for the PC version.Capcom has promised performance improvementsare on the way, though it’ll take a while before they’re applied.
In terms of content, the developers have delivered,with two more major updates planned for the year. Title Update 3 is due in September, while Title Update 4 is expected to be released sometime in the winter. Expect these to bring new monster challenges, armor and weapon sets, and of course, gameplay improvements.
