In response to player feedback, Capcom has released a critical update for Monster Hunter Wilds. The hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00, announced by Monster Hunter Status on Twitter (X) on March 4, 2025, is now available across all platforms. This update tackles several bugs, including issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking despite meeting the necessary criteria, problems with accessing the Monster Field Guide, and a severe game-breaking bug that halted story progression in Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down." Players are required to update the game to continue enjoying online play.
