Monster Hunter Wilds Receives New Performance Fixes

Capcom deploys Monster Hunter Wilds Version 1.042.00.02 today. The update focuses on bug fixes and balancing rather than adding another major content drop. Most notably, Capcom says it is taking measures to address frame-rate drops reported in some environments after the previous 1.042.00.01 update.

Players need the newest version installed to continue using online multiplayer and downloadable content. Performance remains especially important for Monster Hunter Wilds because its large environments, detailed monsters and multiplayer battles can place significant demands on hardware.

Today's patch therefore targets stability and smoothness rather than headline-grabbing new monsters, but it could be one of the more immediately useful updates for active players. Read official patch notes on Capcom Monster Hunter and follow action updates on GameForceAsia.
