If you’re seeing a crash right now, it’s not just you, which means there’s nothing wrong with your PC.
Players Reporting Monster Hunter Wilds Crashing Issues After TU1 Install on PC
The screen above is what people are getting, and we can chime in that it’s happening to us as well. Players on the game’s Steam page are posting threads on how MH Wilds is crashing after launching the game with the TU1 patch installed, with some triggering the crash by item trading with NPC’s.
It’s gotten so bad that some are reporting they can’t even complete a hunt without the game crashing. Some reports on Reddit are claiming that teh game crashes 15 seconds upon booting the game, and others are getting stuck on a black screen. Another report has surfaced that claims the update has softlocked the entire game. Needless to say, there are a bunch of issues that has surfaced with the patch.
Monster Hunter Wilds Item Trading Crashing Issues Workaround After Title Update 1
Capcom has acknowledged the crashing problems when item trading, stating, “We have confirmed that the game crashes when you talk to Nata and select Sekka to trade items at the Village Intermediary.” The developers have a workaround, and it involves waiting.
“If this problem occurs, it can be resolved by waiting a certain amount of time or by resting at the BBQ Menu,” Capcom’s developers shared.
Some of the know issues after today’s Title Update 1 rollout include:
- An issue where players are unable to search for SOS Flare quests of a certain difficulty (★).
- Certain SOS Flare quests are shown as “?????,” preventing players from joining the quest.
- A cutscene is not added to the gallery even when players have proceeded through the story enough to unlock it.
- The text for the Cosmetic DLC Pass is not displayed correctly in the Claim Content menu at the Support Desk.
- Some display issues may occur when clearing widgets from the Hunter Profile.
*This issue will resolve by closing and going back into the “Edit Top Page Widgets” screen. - In the past Challenge and Free Challenge quest ranking results, some results may appear to be blank, and the weapon icons may be replaced with a question mark.
- Trading items with Sekka through Nata at the Village Intermediary menu will cause the game to crash.
*This issue will resolve after waiting a short while or by resting at the BBQ Menu.
