Monster Hunter Wilds is a massive game and as such, it can be quite demanding on computers, even those that meet the recommended specs. Capcom has put out a few tips to fix the PC performance of Monster Hunter Wilds, which is especially useful for those encountering launching issues, sound and cutscene problems, and even FPS hiccups.
Before diving into any PC performance tips for Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s important to note that this information can be general and may or may not solve your particular problem. Remember you can always issue a ticket via the Monster Hunter Wilds support page to get further help from Capcom.
The official Monster Hunter support page offers a few basic tips to help improve your performance:
To verify Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, right click the game and select Properties. Under the Installed Files tab, select Verify integrity of game files. This process will take a few minutes and if it finds any errors or missing files, it will redownload them.
Capcom also suggests disabling Compatibility Mode for Monster Hunter Wilds. Find where you installed Monster Hunter Wilds (Right-click the game, select Manage, and then Browse local files) and then right-click the game’s .exe file and go to Properties. Open the Compatibility tab and untick “Run this program in compatibility mode”. If this doesn’t work, do the same for the Steam.exe.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a resource-hungry beast and unless you have cutting edge hardware, your game is likely to struggle. A few people in the community have come up with some ways to eke out a few more frames and better performance by tweaking some of the graphical settings in-game.
One such set of recommendations comes from huy98vn who developed the Wilds REshade – Subtle Enhancements mod. In the posting on NexusMods, they have the following recommendations:
Using these settings myself, I could maintain a consistent frame rate and Monster Hunter Wilds still looked great. Obviously, you can change any of these however you please if something doesn’t quite look up to your standards – especially if you’d prefer to have the high resolution texture pack installed.
Those are some of the Monster Hunter Wilds PC performance fixes we’ve found across the internet. We’ll be sure to update this piece if we find other ways to get more frames.
