Capcom Releases PC Troubleshooting Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds Amid Mixed Steam Reviews

Following the launch of *Monster Hunter Wilds* on Steam, Capcom has issued official guidance to address the game's 'mixed' user review rating, primarily due to performance concerns. The Japanese gaming giant recommends that players update their graphics drivers, disable compatibility mode, and fine-tune their game settings to optimize their experience. Capcom expressed gratitude for the community's patience and support via a tweet, emphasizing their commitment to resolving these issues.

One of the most critical reviews on Steam, marked as 'most helpful', highlighted severe optimization problems, stating, “*Monster Hunter Wilds* has the worst optimization I've ever seen.” The reviewer expressed frustration over the game's demanding nature, suggesting that while the game itself isn't bad, players might want to wait for a more stable release. Another review echoed these sentiments, criticizing the game's performance as “absolutely atrocious” in comparison to its visual quality, noting it ran worse than the beta version.

In response, Capcom has released a comprehensive 'Troubleshooting & Known Issues' guide to assist players in resolving these issues. The guide suggests several steps including ensuring your PC meets the game's minimum system requirements, updating video and graphics drivers, checking for Windows updates, performing a clean installation of video drivers, updating DirectX, and adding the game and Steam files to antivirus exceptions. Additionally, Capcom advises granting administrator privileges to Steam and the game's executable file, verifying the integrity of game files through Steam, and disabling compatibility mode for both the game and Steam executables.

Despite these performance hurdles, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has enjoyed a phenomenal start, boasting nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam and securing a spot in the platform's top 10 most-played games. As the weekend approaches, the player base is expected to grow even further.

For those eager to dive into *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there are resources available to enhance your journey. Guides on lesser-known tips, detailed walkthroughs, multiplayer instructions, and how to transfer your beta character are all accessible. IGN's review of the game scored it an 8/10, praising the game for refining the series' mechanics while noting a lack of significant challenge.
