Monster Hunter Wilds Gets a New Update, What’s New?

Monster Hunter Wilds Update 1.020 Addresses Performance Issues, Introduces Traditional Questline

After launching five months ago, Monster Hunter Wilds has faced persistent player complaints regarding performance issues. This situation escalated to the point where some players targeted developers, prompting Capcom to issue a warning of legal action. In response, the game has received more frequent, focused updates aimed at resolving both long-standing performance problems and bugs introduced with Title Update 2, released on June 31, 2025. The game has now been updated to version 1.020.02.00. This regulation update introduces a more traditional questline, including the arrival of Seregios and Lagiacrus, and incorporates numerous fixes to improve overall stability and performance.

This update targets various critical areas to enhance the player experience. Specific improvements include: Quest Progression: Resolving issues that prevented players from progressing with Lagiacrus or Seregios quests. Quest Rotation System: Enhancing the performance of the quest rotation system for a smoother gaming experience. Gameplay Stability: Fixing various gameplay bugs, including those causing crashes and freezes during play. Audio Issues: Correcting missing sound effects or music. User Interface: Addressing display issues, such as incorrect quest information or item icons. Miscellaneous Fixes: Implementing other minor adjustments to improve overall game stability and performance.

This update resolves several specific issues impacting gameplay and progression: Nata Chat Progression: A black screen issue preventing game progress while chatting with Nata in Chapter 61: Links of the Chain has been fixed. This bug previously occurred when the Lagiacrus mission, “Pulsing Blue Currents,” was unable to be completed. To unlock this mission, players must finish the side quest “Forest Doshaguma.” Quest Availability: Instances where the Lagiacrus or Seregios missions might not be available for acceptance have been resolved. This includes fixes for temporary camps moving under specific conditions. Visual Glitch: An issue where Lagiacrus could appear swimming in the sky has been corrected. Multiplayer Combat: Fixed an issue where a player’s hunter might not respond to commands during multiplayer combat against Lagiacrus. Addressed a bug where support hunters could become stuck in the water during Lagiacrus battles. Weapon Functionality: Corrected an issue where the Voltohache sword’s blade sharpness would deplete too quickly. Resolved problems where some attacks using a Great Sword or Heavy Bowgun against Seregios might not register properly. Investigation History: Fixed a glitch that could cause the investigation history to vanish from Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds Update Addresses Bug with Monster Sizes and Secret Skill Colors

Monster Sizes: Addressed a bug that caused monster sizes in recorded quests to change before Title Update 2. This fix restores the correct monster sizes in investigation quests recorded prior to the update and does not affect quests recorded afterward. Secret Skill Color Settings: A glitch affecting Secret Skill color settings has been resolved. Previously, if players customized their Secret Skills before Update 2, those colors would reset to default upon customization. This bug fix restores the original Secret Skill colors from before Update 2, and any new color adjustments made post-issue will remain unchanged. This comprehensive update aims to significantly enhance the player experience by addressing critical bugs, improving stability, and ensuring smoother progression within Monster Hunter Wilds.
