CapcomMonster Hunter Wilds players are being left stuck as one vital NPC hasn’t been respawning in a certain campaign mission.
Monster Hunter Wilds has had an impressive launch, managing to amass a player count of over one million concurrent right out of the gate on PC alone, quickly catapulting itself into one of the most played in Steam history.
That said, it’s no secret that the game isn’t without issues. Whether that’s related to performance or the ‘something went wrong’ error preventing the game from booting up, the experience isn’t always smooth for every single player.
Aside from all this, however, there’s now one devastating bug rearing its head. This issue is related to an NPC that essentially blocks players’ progress in the game if you’re unlucky.
Monster Hunter Wilds devs address progress-breaking NPC bug
CapcomIn Wilds, stories and monsters are introduced throughout a plethora of different main quests. The problem lies in the 5-2: A World Turned Upside Down (Hunter Rank 34) quest, in which an important NPC isn’t spawning where they should be.
As such, many players have reported that they’re unable to continue the quest, leaving them stuck. Devs have noticed this issue and have since posted an update on X.
“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 wrote.
Though no exact date or time has been shared yet, they’ve made it clear that they’re working to fix this and will provide further updates once they’re available.
So far, players have claimed they’ve tried several methods in an attempt to spawn the NPC, like reinstalling and verifying the game, but to no luck.
Aside from having this issue fixed, many have also begged devs to focus on the crashes as well as optimization issues. Overall, we’ll just have to be patient for the time being.
