First Monster Hunter Wilds updates fix a progress-blocking bug, but not the dodgy PC performance

Capcom's biggest Monster Hunter motorboat gets a Mixed Steam reaction

Monster Hunter Wilds has been racking up the skulls, attracting good implicit a cardinal simultaneous Steam players this play contempt a mixed subordinate reaction, with peculiar scorn reserved for its method performance.

Now begins the process of patching the behemoth to code immoderate player-reported problems with definite quests. Patching is benignant of similar slaughtering a Monster successful reverse: sewing connected horns and tails alternatively than chopping them off, re-embowelling the shackled signifier of the carnal truthful that it tin gallop crossed the plains, monstrous and free.

Capcom's archetypal hotfix - now unrecorded connected Steam - isn't really astir the Monsters, caput you. It gets escaped of an contented with the Smithy whereby "weapon upgrading tutorials are repeatedly shown, disabling definite options successful the menu." They've besides gone aft a method bungle whereby "the 'Grill a Meal' and 'Ingredient Center' features can't beryllium unlocked, adjacent though the advancement criteria is met by the player."

There's already different hotfix update coming down the tube for problems with the Ingredient Center and Grill a Meal. This 2nd update besides tackles a much terrible bug whereby a important NPC wouldn't look during the ngo "A World Turned Upside Down", blocking your progress. It launches connected March 4th astatine 12am PST and 8am GMT.

Capcom are alert of further reports that players can't implicit the main ngo quest "Omens", successful which you "investigate the regions and rise your Hunter Rank", if they've already reached the Hunter Rank cap. This appears to beryllium much of an in-game miscommunication, however: adjacent if you person reached the cap, you'll inactive beryllium capable to decorativeness this quest by collecting HR points done optional quests oregon broadside missions. "We apologise that the ngo statement was not broad connected this occasion," Capcom comment.

I fishy galore of you speechmaking this are much funny successful tune-ups for the frame-rate. In our Monster Hunter Wilds PC settings and show guide, James called the crippled a "graphics paper torture device" that, amongst different things, tries to usage framework procreation arsenic a crutch. "Wilds is conscionable unusually demanding successful a wide sense, sometimes granting a fewer moments of smoothness successful a choky cave oregon confined structure yet collapsing to a astir fractional that show level erstwhile you get retired into the wide unfastened world," helium wrote.

Capcom's launch-day troubleshooting guide leaves overmuch to beryllium desired, suggesting that players update their graphics drivers and effort moving the happening successful head mode. Perhaps you should experimentation with turning your PC connected and disconnected arsenic well, oregon throwing a towel implicit it. Meanwhile, Capcom are taking the piss arsenic ever with their DLC.
