Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds

View Stats:
Constant Full PC freezes/Crashes forcing hard reset.
Hullo folks. Been trundling my way through Wilds and now the constant crashing/freezing is really starting to impact my enjoyment of the game - froze out just as I got a tempered GM to low and nearly lobbed my controller haha.
Essentially The game boots and runs okay, I've noticed a lot of framerate issues but that could just be down to my rig being a bit old. Then after a bit, or sometimes 2 minutes after I've loaded into the gameworld, the game freezes - I can't alt-tab out or ctrl-alt-delete and am forced to do a hard reset. I have noticed that this seems to happen more often in the Ruins area you unlock towards the end of the campaign.
Tried every 'fix' under the sun at this point - drivers are all updated, files are verified, nothing is overclocked, the game has admin priveledges, and I'm playing on a wired Xbox SX controller.
I can't see anything in event viewer bar the kernel error the hard reset causes, and after running a DxDiag report nothing looks out of the ordinary (to my limited knowledge- can send the report if anyone is curious, just not sure how to without barging a whole load of text on here).
For reference, my rig is:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600
RAM: 32GB
Board: B450 Steel Legend

Sure. Looking though the notepad file that's generated most of it looks like gobbledygook to me admittedly, did spot this though:

I stumbled over this article:
https://m.winfuture.de/news/149992

It seems the last nvidia driver is so bad and unstable even other game developers requestbto roll back to an older version.
Rimuru Apr 1 @ 4:18pm 
I literally can't even get to the start menu of the game before it crashes. And I'm on the last "stable" driver from Nvidia that other game devs are recommending reverting back to. I've tried a full uninstall/reinstall, verifying the integrity of the files, adding in the reFramework mod, removing the ultra high textures DLC...nothing has worked for me. I played the game all the way through the story and got to level 40 HR, but each update they've put out has made the performance and stability worse, to the point where now I can't even launch it.

♥♥♥♥ tier optimization in this game.

No need to be "tech-savvy". I treat everyone assuming they know what they are doing - but if they need help, I give pointers.

Like this guide you can use to improve your system's performance
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3436896664
But first thing first, your DxDiag report shows you ran out of storage space. Move / delete files whatsoever, that you have at least 180 GB free space on C:, then use tip #2 + #7 + #16 from the guide. If you are lucky that it is and nothing more.

You can use this explaination as orientation regarding your current issues. Mind that the explaination was written for Baldur's Gate 3. Monster Hunter Wilds needs a larger pagefile, ideally 64 GB in your case. Put it on C: after you shoveled enough storage space free.

How does this improve my game performance?
This tip can be considered old. From a time when smaller RAM sizes were the norm. Nowadays gaming PCs have 32 GB of RAM and more as standard, which makes people wonder if a pagefile is still necessary or not. Long story short: it is. And in general, Windows can handle it very well on its own without any manual intervention. But this is true for modern PCs. Older PCs, or those considered to be at the lower end of the market, still benefit greatly from adjusting the size of virtual memory.

At the moment I am writing this, my physical RAM is 30% used, at 7.3 GB, and my pagefile - the virtual memory holder - is at 9581 MB, or 9.6 GB. And I am not running a game. In fact, just this browser in which I am typing this text right now. Why is this, and why is the pagefile important when your physical RAM is theoretically more than enough?

https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/2008096811121968851/6BC2D02D2B578E1A3D771E024480B854229B2321/

It looks even worse according to a special RAM tool...
Intelligent standby list cleaner can be downloaded for free here: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ISLCw


The answer lies in how your operating system manages RAM, both virtual and physical, and how it is allocated to all the applications you use. System requirements are kept as simple as "you need 8GB to run this game", with no details about virtual RAM. But if you only use your physical RAM, do you really have that much to start with?

Here are a few things that will also use RAM when you start the game (example):
  • Steam, and its functions like Steam Friends & Chat, Overlay, Cloud and Multiplayer Services
  • GeForce Experience, gaming overlay and graphics optimisation
  • Security application(s) to check your incoming and outgoing communications and what files the game might be creating
  • Third party controller software for input devices
  • Third party software for sound

And then you might also have (example):
  • Voice chat application
  • E-Mail application (running in background, but keeping giving you notifications)
  • Cloud Services on standby
  • Entertainment apps - I have heard people often have their music streaming app on
  • Several background services you do not even know they exist but are constantly active in the background from the start, like auto-update software for Java, browser, mainboard, graphics drivers, printer, network and so on

https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/2008096811121968863/F426403975A7D1BB3F6393D072B1C529FFA3B75C/

Tools such as Autoruns are immensely helpful in effortlessly identifying and managing your autorun applications. Autoruns can be downloaded for free here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns


Now you might ask: why does Windows not just put everything in physical RAM if you have a lot of RAM? This has to do with the fact that many applications by design need a stable source for their temporary files. Otherwise, they would not work properly because the physical RAM content would be in a constant state of flux and would need to be refreshed very often. "Out of Memory" issues and stuttering would be the common symptoms. In addition, applications tend to reserve physical RAM for their exclusive use, making the display of how much RAM is currently in use/available inaccurate to begin with.

Virtual memory is not just there to increase the total amount of memory available to your PC to meet the needs of each application. It is simply an integral part of what Windows needs to run properly. And if you use a lot of applications to begin with, you can quickly hit the limits. And sometimes, as mentioned above with overclocking, Windows' automatic management cannot keep up. For such cases, it is better to reserve a large amount in advance, as an extra buffer if you will.

Tech-savvy PC users may be able to deal with this in a way other than just increasing the virtual memory size. For example, by disabling autostart applications or using a Gaming Mode setup. But this guide will keep things simple, and I will also do my best to make this information as easy to understand as possible for every user. For you.

Extra tip to level up this tip
If you have a faster drive than the drive on which your operating system is installed, keep the virtual memory/pagefile for your operating system drive to at least 4 GB and allocate the 8 GB to your faster drive. The rule of thumb for the ideal size of your virtual memory would be 4 GB on OS drive (mostly C:) and 1.5x-2.0x the size of your actual RAM on your fastest drive.

Example
C: - Windows drive SSD = 4 GB virtual RAM
D: - Data drive => no virtual RAM
E: - Data drive => no virtual RAM
G: - Game drive NVMe SSD = minimum 8 GB virtual RAM


If you have 8 GB of physical RAM, the "good" amount of virtual RAM would be 12/16 GB.
If you have 16 GB of physical RAM, the "good" amount of virtual RAM would be 24/32 GB.

Note: Given the current standards, I personally think 20/24GB is a good upper limit. But I stick to the 1.5x-2.0x rule of thumb in this guide (for the future) because PCs and games are constantly evolving. Back then I thought 8 GB of RAM was more than enough forever, while 16 GB was supposed to be only necessary for video editing. Now 32 GB is standard.

For users who use 4k for gaming and video editing it makes even sense to increase the virtual memory drastically. 128 GB and more can become necessary.[/quote]
