Capcom May Be Able To Help Players Having Performance Issues In Monster Hunter Wilds

It’s clear that Monster Hunter Wilds has been a significant triumph for Capcom, yet not everyone playing it on PC is entirely enamored with the game.

Although Steam player numbers for Monster Hunter Rise have broken Capcom’s records, outperforming the peak player counts of games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077, this title currently has a mix of reviews from players, with about half (around 50%) giving it positive feedback.

Despite initial worries that the new Monster Hunter game might have a lower difficulty compared to its predecessors, it appears that other aspects of the game are causing more trouble for players.

There haven’t even been any significant server issues, despite the massive surge in players.

Many critical comments mainly focus on the poor performance and optimization issues of the game on PC platforms. Even gamers using hardware that meets or exceeds the game’s minimum requirements encounter low and inconsistent frame rates.

Despite the game running smoothly for players both in the beta phase and benchmark tests, some users have reported a significant decrease in performance when using the final version of the game. However, it’s important to note that the beta version itself was not flawless.

Capcom’s Suggestions For Players Experiencing Issues

On occasion where players have encountered issues, Capcom has addressed these concerns by posting potential solutions on their official Monster Hunter Status account, as well as providing guidance on their support website.

The solutions they propose vary from the common methods of troubleshooting performance issues, including lowering graphical settings, updating Windows and graphics drivers, and confirming that your system meets the minimum requirements, to less common remedies, like turning off compatibility mode for Steam and the game itself, running Steam as an administrator, logging into your computer with administrative privileges, and launching the game’s .exe file directly.

If every solution provided doesn’t work for you, Capcom recommends creating a new thread in the dedicated Troubleshooting and Problem Report section of the game’s official forum to seek further assistance.

Despite some PC performance problems, Monster Hunter Wilds has proven to be incredibly successful. In light of this success and a tradition in Japan, Palworld developer Pocketpair is granting their staff a day off to enjoy the game, mirroring similar practices from the past.
