PSA: For Those Who Experience Immediate Crashes on Launch and Can't Fix It No Matter What

[shobonikov]

Since the game's release, I have been experiencing a crash report immediately after launching Monster Hunter Wilds, and nothing I tried could fix it.
After over a week of trial and error, I finally found a workaround to get the game running, so I'm sharing it here.

Steps to Fix:

1.
Create a new Steam account.

2.
On the account that purchased Monster Hunter Wilds, set up a Steam Family and invite the new account.

3.
Log in to Steam using the newly created account and launch MHWilds via Family Sharing.

With these steps, I was able to successfully launch MHWilds on the new account. However, when switching back to my original account, the game still wouldn’t launch.
The exact cause remains unclear, but this suggests that there may be an error in the information stored on Steam or Capcom’s servers, potentially causing crashes on a per-account basis.

Hope this helps anyone facing the same issue!

Not for real. They are missing essential information in their explaination. What they experienced is most likely savegame corruption.

Your statement makes no sense. Why would you launch the game if you are not playing?
