Capcom Addresses Monster Hunter Wilds PC Performance Issues

Monster Hunter Wilds' Steam launch has been met with a "mixed" user review rating due to performance problems. In response, Capcom has offered official troubleshooting advice for PC players.

The company suggests several steps to improve performance: updating graphics drivers, disabling compatibility mode, and adjusting in-game settings. Capcom acknowledged player concerns via tweet, expressing gratitude for patience and support.

Negative Steam reviews highlight significant optimization issues, with some users describing the performance as "the worst [they've] ever seen," even worse than the beta. One user recommended waiting for a more stable release.

To assist players, Capcom released a comprehensive troubleshooting guide addressing various potential problems. The guide outlines the following steps:

Troubleshooting Steps:

Verify System Requirements: Ensure your PC meets the minimum specifications.
Update Drivers: Update your video/graphics drivers and Windows OS. Consider a clean driver installation if issues persist.
Update DirectX: Update to the latest version (refer to Microsoft support for instructions).
Antivirus Exceptions: Add the game's installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\MonsterHunterWilds and C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe) to your antivirus exclusion list.
Administrator Privileges: Run Steam and MonsterHunterWilds.exe as administrator.
Verify Game Files: Use Steam's "Verify integrity of game files" function (ignore warnings about local configuration files).
Disable Compatibility Mode: Disable compatibility mode for both MonsterHunterWilds.exe and Steam.exe if enabled.
Consult Steam Community: Check the official Monster Hunter Wilds troubleshooting thread on the Steam community page for additional solutions.

Despite these initial performance hurdles, Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved remarkable success, boasting nearly 1 million concurrent Steam players, placing it among Steam's top 10 most-played games ever.

For those seeking to enhance their gameplay experience, IGN's review (8/10) suggests the game offers enjoyable combat but lacks significant challenge.
