Following the launch of *Monster Hunter Wilds* on Steam, which received a 'mixed' user review rating due to performance issues, Capcom has provided official advice for PC players. The Japanese gaming giant recommends that Steam users update their graphics drivers, disable compatibility mode, and adjust their in-game settings to address initial performance hiccups. Capcom expressed gratitude to the community, stating, "Thank you all for your patience and support!" via a tweet.
A particularly critical Steam review labeled as 'most helpful' criticized the game's optimization, claiming it to be "the worst I've ever seen." The reviewer acknowledged the increasing demands of new games but felt that the performance issues were "absurd" and "inexcusable," especially given similar problems faced by *Monster Hunter: World* at launch. They advised potential buyers to wait for a more stable version, despite recognizing that the game itself isn't bad.
Another negative review echoed these sentiments, calling the game's performance "absolutely atrocious" for its visual quality, even worse than the beta version.
In response, Capcom released a comprehensive 'Troubleshooting & Known Issues' guide to help Steam users resolve their issues. The guide suggests several steps including ensuring your system meets the minimum requirements, updating video/graphics drivers, checking for Windows updates, performing a clean installation of video drivers, updating DirectX, and adding game files to anti-virus exceptions. It also recommends running Steam with administrator privileges and verifying the integrity of game files through Steam. If issues persist, Capcom advises users to check the Official Monster Hunter Wilds Troubleshooting & Issue Reporting Thread on the Steam community page for additional steps.
Despite these challenges, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has enjoyed a phenomenal start, nearly reaching 1 million concurrent players on Steam and ranking among the top 10 most-played games of all time. As the weekend approaches, the game's popularity is expected to soar even higher.
To aid players in their journey through *Monster Hunter Wilds*, resources are available covering tips not explicitly mentioned in the game, a detailed guide to all 14 weapon types, an ongoing walkthrough, and instructions on multiplayer gameplay and transferring beta characters. IGN's review of the game scored it an 8/10, praising the improvements in the series but noting a lack of significant challenge in the gameplay.
