Monster Hunter Wilds Is Finally Running Better On PC

by

Monster Hunter Wilds has faced significant problems since its release, largely due to poor performance on PC. Despite several attempts by Capcom to improve how the game runs, these efforts haven’t been successful, leading to negative feedback and a surge of negative reviews, most recently after the December Title Update 4.

Recently, a player discovered a surprising reason why the game struggles to run well on Steam: it repeatedly checks how much downloadable content you have. The more DLC you own, the smoother the game seems to run, and the player provided strong proof to support this idea.

Capcom has now seemingly confirmed the issues players were experiencing. A recent update on the game’s Steam page details improvements to how the game runs on Steam, specifically reducing the demand on your computer’s processor. This update was released today, and it appears to address the problems a modder recently discovered – and it’s working as expected.

Players are celebrating in the comments, saying this is the first time since the game launched that they’re getting a smooth 60 frames per second. Many are also reporting that the update has eliminated a lot of stuttering, allowing them to use high-resolution textures without any issues.
