Following the launch of *Monster Hunter Wilds* on Steam, Capcom has addressed the community's concerns over the game's 'mixed' user review rating, largely due to performance issues. The Japanese game developer has issued official guidance for PC players to help resolve these problems. They recommend updating graphics drivers, disabling compatibility mode, and adjusting game settings to enhance performance. Capcom expressed their gratitude to players for their patience and support via a tweet.
One of the most critical reviews on Steam, labeled as 'most helpful,' highlighted severe optimization issues, stating, "*Monster Hunter Wilds* has the worst optimization I've ever seen." The reviewer expressed frustration over the game's high system demands, suggesting that waiting for a more stable release might be advisable despite acknowledging the game's potential. Another user echoed these sentiments, describing the game's performance as "absolutely atrocious" compared to its visual quality.
To assist players in overcoming these challenges, Capcom has released a comprehensive 'Troubleshooting & Known Issues' guide. This guide includes steps to ensure that your PC meets the game's minimum system requirements, updating video and graphics drivers, checking for Windows updates, and performing a clean installation of video drivers. Further, it suggests updating DirectX, adding the game to anti-virus exceptions, running Steam with administrator privileges, and verifying game files through Steam. Capcom also recommends disabling compatibility mode for both the game and Steam executables. If issues persist, players are directed to the Official Monster Hunter Wilds Troubleshooting & Issue Reporting Thread on the Steam community page for additional solutions.
Despite the performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has seen remarkable success, boasting nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam, which positions it among the top 10 most-played games on the platform. As the weekend approaches, the player base is expected to grow even further.
