When players were ready to embark on their next adventure in Monster Hunter Wilds, a pesky bug threw a wrench into the works. Capcom is scrambling to fix this game-breaking issue that is preventing many from progressing through the story. Talk about a frustrating twist right out of the gate!

Released recently, Monster Hunter Wilds hit the gaming scene with a bang, boasting over one million concurrent players on Steam during its launch night. However, excitement quickly turned to disappointment as reports of performance issues and optimization troubles flooded. Players had barely settled into their hunting gear before they encountered problems.

The latest hiccup involves an NPC who is crucial in advancing the story. In some cases, this character fails to appear where it should be, leaving players stuck and unable to continue past chapters 5-2. Take a breath for those who have made it that far; you’re safe for now. But for everyone else? Well, let’s say it’s time for some serious troubleshooting.

Capcom has acknowledged the situation and is investigating the root cause of this troublesome bug. In a statement on social media, they noted: “Hunters, we are currently investigating the following issue. There may be cases where an NPC does not appear, disabling story progression in Main Mission: Chapter 5-2 A World Turned Upside Down.” They’ve promised updates as soon as more information becomes available.

This isn’t Capcom’s only concern: they’ve fielded complaints regarding performance issues across PC platforms. It’s clear that while players are eager to dive into the expansive world of Monster Hunter Wilds, technical difficulties are putting a damper on their experience.

The team at ConsolePCGaming.com has reached out to Capcom for further clarification on these issues and will keep you updated with any new developments. Until then, if you’re brave enough to tackle this adventure, keep your eyes peeled for any patches that might roll out soon.

Despite these setbacks, critics have praised Monster Hunter Wilds. One review described it as “a victory lap for Capcom’s golden age,” highlighting how it builds upon its predecessor while offering plenty of fresh content. While bugs can be maddening, there’s still much to love about this title once things smooth out.
