On the dot, Capcom rolled out the much-anticipated Title Update 1 for Monster Hunter Wilds, a huge milestone for the game that has already sold over 10 million copies. Players have been buzzing with excitement about this update, not so much for bug fixes, but for the fresh content it promises.
Interestingly, while the new content is certainly the talk of the town, this update hasn’t come without a few quirks, including a particularly hilarious one involving the game’s cherished character, Nata.
In the game’s campaign, Nata plays a pivotal role and continues to be relevant as an NPC you’ll frequently interact with afterward. Each zone in the game boasts various NPCs for trading, but Nata has the unique ability to facilitate trades across all these NPCs from one convenient location, eliminating the need to trek around the map.
However, post-patch, an amusing mishap has surfaced where engaging with Nata can cause the game to crash. Capcom was quick to respond, confirming they’re aware of the issue. They mentioned that it specifically occurs when selecting Sekka from Nata’s trade options.
But what’s truly entertaining is their suggested workaround: players can either wait for a short period and attempt again or take a break by resting at the BBQ Menu. It’s a quirky solution for a quirky bug, but Capcom assures players this glitch will be resolved in future updates.
This isn’t the only hiccup players might encounter. With the recent patch, Capcom has updated its list of existing issues. Some players are unable to search for one-star SOS Flare quests, while others experience display glitches when clearing widgets from the Hunter Profile.
Also, a few less critical snags like a missing cutscene from the gallery and an incorrect text description for the Cosmetic DLC Pass have been pointed out. Despite these, downloading the patch remains crucial, especially if you want to continue multiplayer escapades or face off with the new beast, Mizutsune. Plus, exploring the Grand Hub area and taking on the formidable Arch-Tempered monsters adds even more thrills.
Oh, and if you haven’t already, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into the Event Quests, which offer exclusive rewards. Just remember to tread lightly around Nata for now and definitely keep an eye on our comprehensive Monster Hunter Wilds guide to stay updated.
