Monster Hunter Wilds, initially celebrated for its successful launch, has faced significant backlash as it shows signs of aging poorly. The concerns predominantly stem from outstanding technical issues and optimizations that have fallen short, particularly on the PC version available on Steam. User reviews have markedly declined, shifting from generally positive to “Mixed,” and more recently, even spiraling into “Extremely negative.”
In response to this dissatisfaction, Capcom has recognized the need to rebuild its relationship with the player community. As a pivotal step, the game’s support team announced an upcoming patch, version 1.020.02.00, which aims to address numerous known bugs reported after the recent version 1.020.01.00. This patch is intended to rectify several persistent issues affecting both console and PC platforms.
Highlighted issues slated for resolution in the upcoming patch include:
– A critical black screen bug that occurs when engaging with the character Nata in Chapter 6-1, which halts game progression.
– Problems with reaccepting assignments for both the Lagiacrus and Seregios monsters.
– Bugs affecting the behavior and movement of the Lagiacrus, including experiencing levitation during gameplay and instances of unresponsiveness in multiplayer settings.
– Several gameplay mechanics issues, such as attack registrations with specific weapons and sharpness decreases when using the Charge Blade.
– Adjustments to elements within the game that may have been negatively impacted by prior patches, such as monster sizes and color settings in customization options.
By laying out a comprehensive plan to address these frustrating bugs, Capcom aims to restore player confidence and enthusiasm for Monster Hunter Wilds. With these updates, there’s hope that the community can rally once more around the game, leading to exciting hunts in the near future.
