Amid ‘Mixed’ Steam User Review Rating, Capcom Issues Monster Hunter Wilds PC Troubleshooting Guide – IGN
Capcom has issued official advice for PC via Steam players of Monster Hunter Wilds after the game launched to a ‘mixed’ user review rating due to performance issues.The Japanese games company said Steam users should try updating their graphics driver, turning off compatibility mode, and then readjust their settings if they’re experiencing any initial issues.“Thank you all for your patience and support!” Capcom said in a tweet.One of the ‘Not Recommended’ Steam reviews flagged as ‘most helpful’ says Monster Hunter Wilds “has the worst optimisation I’ve ever seen.”“I understand that new games are becoming more demanding and people are expected to upgrade, but this is absurd,” they said. “I’m aware this isn’t the first instance of new games having poor performance on launch, because the same thing happened with World, but it feels inexcusable at this point.“I am by no means saying the game is bad, but in its current state, you should probably consider waiting for a more stable release.”Another negative review also focused on the game’s optimization, saying: “Absolutely atrocious performance for how the game looks. Runs even worse than the beta.”In a bid to help Steam users improve matters, Capcom published a ‘Troubleshooting & Known Issues’ guide with potential solutions. Capcom asked PC players to follow the steps below “to rule out problems with your PC, Steam, or the game’s files.”When the game does not run properly, please try the steps below.Despite these performance problems, Monster Hunter Wilds is off to an incredible start, with nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam alone.
