It is not a game problem. It is a PC problem people having.

I've not crashed once an I have Hunter Rank 270 or something, probably over 100 hours now.

played over 120h never crashed once. I know it doesnt help but it might not be the games fault and maybe your settings? Maybe your cpu overheats?

This forum, steam reviews, and the wider internet are filled with people complaining about the game crashing.

I believe Capcom has an FAQ with some "tips" you can try.

I would also recommend memtest86+ if you are running XMP or manually overclocked RAM.

The weird part for me is I wasn't crashing for a long time, but lately Wilds doesn't want to open properly. I'm not really sure what's happening since there's no error message.

[Modestwaif]

Yeah, I am HR 200+ and it just started crashing for me about 5 days ago.

[Modestwaif]

I was really just hoping someone may know why that is and maybe how to fix it. Its nice that you haven't crashed but that's not really what this form is about. Thanks.

You are asking for an "all-cure" where there is none. The game is not the issue. It is the PC. Personal Computer. That means it is always an individual thing. If you do not get that, visit a PC repair store for help.

nope it is the game, if it the pc then it would crash in many other cases, and no none of my games are crashing only this one. so wahtever they did, its pretty bad coded

If you have an nvidia 30xx or 40xx you may want to consider rolling your driver back.

It's crazy that people have the gall to straight up lie and claim that it's always a problem with the individual's computer when Wilds crashes.

I was largely crash free until 3 days ago. Game crashed a few times upon launch (before the main menu opens) twice that day. And after I started the game again it crashed in both cases when I opened the map as I was looking for crowns. So there was alot of area switching and map opening going on. It was no immediate crash, just happened after 10-20 minutes of exploring and map opening.

The only thing I noticed this far is that crashes seem to happen upon a scene switch (for me anyway): when the main menu opens, when I open the map (the moment it would switch to the map screen) and one time after I had a meal with an NPC, just before the screen would pop up that shows the bonuses you got.

I'd generally recommend to save semi regularly as you play - especially when you collected anything that's important enough for you (after a hunt the game saves anyway).

As we are getting an update end of the week, here's hoping that that tackles some of the crashes too!

Since MHW didn't have any recent Updates, and you're able to trace back the date to when crashes started happening, i suggest to check for any other Software updates which you went through on your machine.
No matter how irrelevant it is to the game, the smallest stuff can have huge effects.
I always suggest to only manually allow Software updates. That way you can easily trace back a possible issue and set a point to roll back to.

The game is most certainly the issue.

Your cringe gaslighting does not change the fact that the game has issues and needs plenty optimization to be done to reduce the many technical issues it has.

Yes, some people try to play it on their gramma's toasters and crash and burn. But this also happens to far too many legitimate setups too.

In my case it was an apparent stable RAM OC. After I disabled that and went with the 3600 Mhz my crashes stopped. The other thing I identified that worked it's to set 16 GB of virtual memory (I have 32 GB physical). The funny thing is that I'm able to play now with zero crashes even with my GPU overclock (142 on the core clock and 1313 on the memory clock) which is already OC'd from fabric. This game is weird
