Summary of fixes and bugs AMD graphics. (Crash, flickering and win8 compatibility mode)

[ShawnTrack]

Until now the MH Wilds PC community who have mid-low range AMD graphics cards, are working on solutions since AMD and CAPCOM do not have the courage to say anything about it. Those of us who have not asked for a refund have faith that Capcom or AMD will fix either the crash issue (AMD is responsible) or the texture flickering issue (Capcom is responsible).

Since Capcom is asking RX 7800 users to install a beta driver to not to crash.. I lost all my faith in Capcom (and more seeing what happened with Dragons Dogma 2 in terms of optimization and bugfix). After saying that all we can expect is to have an update that solves one of the 2 main problems in less than a month.

Below is all the information we have:

** MAIN PROBLEM **

AMD launched an optional update for Radeon™ RX 5X00 or superior, so if you have an older gpu you are lost as we and you will experience:

1º CRASH at start. If the shaders cache has to compile, it will do for like 3 minutes, then crash and has to start again.
2º If you start with compatibility mode it will compile but the rock and wood texture will be a random flickering mesh of textures (its funny because if you record the screen for a few seconds and pause on every second, you will see textures of carpets, chains, cloth, monsters. The not funny part is epileptic attacks exists).
3º Bargaining 4º Depression 5º Acceptance

DETAILS

The crash is done by un-handle command on amdxc64.dll (part of the amd driver), in fact the error code is C0000005 that seems to access a forbidden register at the memory.

The performance in low-medium is okay for my PC (RX580 2048SP 8GB vram, I5 4cores 3,2GHz, 16GB DDR3 Ram. I get 50fps in 1080) but this flickering make the title unplayable (by the headache you get)

The flickering stop as you are near the affected object. So I imagine this has to happen because of the render distance. In fact some properties in the graphics options are like disabled for me, like sand texture quality.

There are a lot of solution proposed, neither of them actually works. Below are described:
- Changing the dstorage.dll and dstoragecore.dll to the version 1.2.3 (this will make game to not start but in RTX4080 or superior it makes you get 10-20 more fps)
- Clear shaders cache in AMD Adrenaline and shaders cache in the game folder with compatibility mode win8 in steam.exe and MonsterHunterWilds.exe. Then remove the compatibility mode in both and start. Doesn't work.
- Fix the typos in the config.ini file. This doesn't work and the typo variables work at they are (If you do that as a programmer you're out in 100% of the jobs).
- Remove the crashReporter exe, dll and folder. Doesnt work and make the game close instead of crashing.
- Install linux in other partition and run the game there with the latest amd drivers for linux. Still Crash for graphic cards under RX 5000.
- Say to people to update graphics when the latest we can get (including betas is from 2024). Really your intentions are nice but we recieve that messages like 50 times per post.

These days were great for AMD for their market strategies and more, but in 3 years when no one buys AMD graphic cars they will ask, why people don't want amd graphic cards?

Good luck AMD users, all we can do is pray to ceadeus for an update.

For RX580 people, the rdn-id modded drivers don't help right now. They haven't been updated for a while.

Luckily, the Dev just announced an upcoming new update. We can hope that will help whenever it releases.

It will probably still take month, until then we have to look for a playable solution

I have done a few things that fixes the crash on my AMD rig.

- Install Adrenaline 25.2.1
- Set Resize Bar ON
- Set DDR5 to default profile, it’s 5200 for me
- Increase system paging to allow 32gb
- Run as administrator

Most important bit
- Restart game after 1 or 2 missions to unload memory garbage.

I monitored the virtual memory usage in HWINFO, it reaches 37gb total. Even though I have 32gb ram, it utilises half of it most of the time but it loads heavily into paging instead. It happens to me the game takes 17gb ram and 20gb paging.

My PC, AMD 8700, 7800XT, 32g ram
Run at 4k medium FSR performance without any crash for now

I have a quick question. I am running a Vega 56, so I am sadly in the same boat as the owners of a 580. Does anyone know if we will actually get new drivers? The most recent AMD drivers I were able to get are 24.9 and from comments I gathered that the latest fully released drivers are 24.12. This means I am already not getting the latest drivers. What if, even if 25.1 is fully released, we won't be able to install it?

[ShawnTrack]

try to install the 24.12
https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-24-12-1.html
Go to the text like:
AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.12.1 Driver Including Vega and Polaris Series Graphics Support for Windows® 10 & Windows® 11 64-bit

For your fortune, we are in the same technology (POLARIS) wich includes Vega and RX500

I just received and answered a Capcom mail that ask about the issue. The asked for a video too and I sent 2. One with compatibility and one without it (crashes)

I send this bug to Capcom support and am waiting on what they say.

Super cute, how could you lose faith in a company that doesnt give a ♥♥♥♥ for you and publicly showed that for years.

Well I had an excellent treat from Capcom even with Rise. I don't know what happened since the launch of Rise like the become the worst company as activision blizzard level

If they continue like this, the game's rating won't go up, bro.

Send bug report via AMD Bug Report tool as well about issue, not just reporting issue here, Radeon driver team may be able to fix it on their end, but chances are game devs have to fix it, because its usually multi threading related the flickering issue.

That's true amd did fix it for newer drivers. I will submit a report to them too.

I'm on an RX 7600 with the latest optional driver, and I've been having issues where the game will run fine for a while before it hangs for a bit before the driver times out and the game crashes. I really hope Capcom can fix this soon.
