AMD Graphics Cards: How to Fix Crashes on Game Start

[WingedAsarath]

If you're using an AMD graphics card, and Wilds is crashing when you hit Start Game, here's a solution that worked for me for both the Open Beta Test and the full release.

1- Open AMD Adrenaline.
2- In Adrenaline, change the preset for Monster Hunter Wilds to 'Quality' from the default.
3- Restart your PC.

I hope this helps hunters having the same issue I did!

I have had 0 crashes in my 6 hours thus far on an RX 7900 XTX, but glad you have a solution!

Glad you're enjoying it! I have a brand new 7900XT I got for Wilds, and whilst I've had a couple of crashes, I suspect that's down to other software running concurrently (Display Fusion is my current main suspect) rather than the game itself.

I'm just making this post because I discovered the above during the OBT, and noticed a few people encountering the crash. Thought I'd save them some grief by providing the info if they come searching the forums :)

Hi everybody,

I had an issue with flickering rocks and textures. At first, my game crashed during the shader compilation. After adjusting some compatibility mode settings, I was able to run the game all morning.

After some research, I found that the issue was caused by an outdated GPU driver. I have an AMD Radeon 6700 XT, and I found this update on the AMD website:

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.2.1 Optional Update
Highlights:
New Game Support:

Sid Meier's Civilization VII
Avowed
Monster Hunter Wilds
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
🔗 AMD Release Notes: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-2-1.html

I installed this update, rolled back all the changes I had made, and when I started the game, there were no more crashes and no more flickering rocks!

I hope this helps resolve your problem. On my side, it's working great!

I've been crashing on startup with my 7900 xt, I'm also glad he had a solution ._.

I suddenly started crashing at boot and maybe 1 minute after loading into the game, after about 11+ hours of gameplay. I'm also on an 7900XT, this change appears to have worked for me. Thank you!

If it crashes to desktop when launching mhw, delete the shader.cache file inside the game folder it might help
