Monster Hunter Wilds has gotten a new hot fix patch version 1.000.04.00 on all platforms with fixes for main story progression issues, Ingredient Center bugs, Grill a Meal issues, and more.

If you were playing the game while the update hit, you will have been disconnected and will need to update before you can play online again. While the last hot fix went live on PlayStation 5 before other platforms, this one has gone live on all platforms at the same time. So far, we've seen quite a few issues with progression, effects, skills, and more addressed following the game's launch on Friday. You can find the full patch notes via Capcom below.
