by

Key Takeaways

  • The bug caused the game to crash when players checked the menus for appearance.
  • The patch fixes crashes related to ‘Equipment Appearance’ and ‘Palico Equipment Appearance’, disconnects when using Insect Glaive Focus Strike on Rey Dau, and incorrect investigation rewards for Lagiacrus or Seregios.
  • Remaining issues include incorrect Cosmetic DLC Pass text on PS5 and potential duplicate key binds for Underwater Controls on Steam.

Yesterday, Capcom introduced Update 2 for Monster Hunter Wilds, bringing in fresh monsters, adjustments to gameplay mechanics, and other features. However, this update unintentionally included a notable glitch that occurred when players accessed the menu for customization.

Capcom admitted there was a problem, and they believed it required a fix, which is exactly what we’re seeing with the Monster Hunter Rise update 1.020.020, currently available across all platforms.

Read on for the exact improvement made by the developers.

Monster Hunter Wilds Equipment Appearance Crashing Issues Resolved With Patch Ver. 1.020.01.00

Here’s what’s new per Capcom:

  • Fixed an issue that would cause the game to crash when selecting “Equipment Appearance” or “Palico Equipment Appearance” from the Appearance Menu in your tent.
  • – Fixed an issue where using an insect glaive Focus Strike on Rey Dau could cause you to disconnect from the network.
  • – Fixed an issue where the rewards from investigations that included Lagiacrus or Seregios would sometimes be less than intended.
  • Steam®

    – Fixed an issue where the frame rate could become unstable when having a ranged weapon equipped.

The other issues yet to be addressed, according to Capcom include:

  • The text for the Cosmetic DLC Pass is not displayed correctly in the Claim Content menu at the Support Desk. (PS5 only)
  • If adjustments have been made to the Keyboard Configuration settings before the update, keys assigned to Ascend and Descend for Underwater Controls may have duplicate control binds. (Steam only)
    *To avoid this issue, open the Keyboard Configuration settings and reassign the key that shares a control assignment with Ascend/Descend.

At the moment, there’s no news about when we might get an update to tackle those problems, but rest assured, we’ll share any new details with you as soon as they become available.
