Monster Hunter Wilds: A Technical Disaster Capcom Refuses to Fix (And No, It Won’t Improve Much at Launch)

[xRiz]

My friends and I pre-ordered Monster Hunter Wilds, but after seeing how badly optimized it is, we decided to refund it.

Even with PCs that are well above the recommended specs, the game runs like crap—tons of FPS drops and graphical issues. A friend with an RX 7800 XT, i5 12400F, and 16GB RAM tried playing on ultra at 1080p, and the game barely hits 70 FPS, sometimes dropping to 51 FPS in open areas. That’s just ridiculous.

And don’t even get me started on the official system requirements. They expect a freaking RTX 2070 Super, RTX 4060, or RX 6700 XT just to get 60 FPS at 1080p on medium settings? That’s insane for a game that doesn’t even look that much better than World.

To make it worse, Capcom keeps pushing out the same beta without fixing anything major, even though the community has been screaming about the issues for weeks. And if you think the final release is going to magically fix everything… well, you clearly didn’t go through Dragon’s Dogma 2. I really hope I’m wrong, but at this rate, this game is heading straight for a "Mostly Negative" rating on Steam.

And the worst part? Capcom’s complete silence. If they actually cared about PC players, they would’ve addressed this on Reddit or here, reassuring us that the launch version won’t be a mess. But nope, all they’ve said is that it’ll be “better than the beta.” No kidding, but it couldn’t have been worse.

PD:

➡ It’s an optimization issue, not a hardware one. If the benchmark and beta are still performing poorly on mid-to-high-end systems, the game is poorly optimized. It’s not about "needing better hardware."

➡ Telling people to buy a 2K$ GPU is ridiculous. Not everyone can (or should) throw money at brute-forcing a broken game.

➡ Stop pretending hardware is the only answer. If people with similar setups get wildly different performance, the issue isn’t their PC—it’s the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds needs real optimization, not excuses. Saying "just upgrade" isn’t just wrong—it’s lazy and completely unhelpful.

Additionally, the official requirements state that to play at 1080p and 60 FPS on medium quality, a RTX 2070 Super, RTX 4060, or RX 6700 XT is needed, which is excessive. It's unacceptable that a €70 title offers such poor performance.

Those stats you posted are a bit off, not sure where you got them from but here are the official ones;

RECOMMENDED:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-10400 or Intel® Core™ i3-12100 or AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060 Super(VRAM 8GB) or　AMD Radeon™ RX 6600(VRAM 8GB)
Additional Notes: This game is expected to run at 1080p / 60 fps (with Frame Generation enabled) under the "Medium" graphics setting.

Keep in mind, to reach those 60fps you have to enable frame-generation - which makes it even worse.

Apart from that I agree with OP.

99% of the playerbase will have to play at 30fps.

Even with a RTX 5090 & 9800X3D the game drops into the mid 60s in some cases (native 4k).

The game runs really poor even on the best hardware you can buy.

The technical aspects of this game are a disaster.

Sighh. Beta is old build brother. Devs said on Twitter release going to be better

And if you believe crapcom then you're a lost cause anyway.

The best part is that it doesn't even look better than MH World. Just zero optimization lmao. Gaming is a lost cause.

Benchmark is still awful.

I have a 5090 and it runs fine for me. Maybe upgrade your relic of a PC?

Lemme guess, AI frames and upscaling?

Dude the benchmark is what the game will be at launch it's 1.0, minus what ever the day one patch will be.

Stop lying.

Like I said;
Even with a RTX 5090 & 9800X3D the game drops into the mid 60s in some cases (native 4k). That's without frame-generation.

The game runs really poor even on the best hardware you can buy.

You could argue "just play at 60fps or a lower resolution then" - sure, but that'll look like sh1t on a 4k/120Hz display.
Am I supposed to downgrade my display to a 1440p/60Hz one ?

If you're used to playing sub 60 fps at 1080p you may disagree with me though, more power to you - but stop pretending the game is running "fine" because IT IS NOT.

Do we really believe the guy has the mythic legendary 5090 lol.

He's either lying or he is using upscaling + frame-generation (& thinks using fake frames to get 120 fps is fine).

^ no one can disprove this claim. It's a fact.
If someone claims otherwise then go ahead & upload your footage/benchmark.
I'll be waiting.

You are making an argument in a place where people have an invested interest...
They gonna fish crap out of their colon to justify their favorite game running like ass and blame you for not spending thousands of dollars to upgrade... It is a waste of time arguing with the brain-dead.

On a Ryzen 5800x with Rx 6950 xt and 32 gb of ram it barely runs at 60 when you are not looking at a dune or a wall (High settings no modification)...
On top of that i am on linux and as other people tried the benchmark on both platforms on linux it runs on average 10% faster.
This game is a mess, and i feel bad for the devs since most likely crapcom forced them to use that garbage of an engine, UE5 runs better than this and that is sad.

Why are you acting like 60+ is bad?

You should ask: Does it drop BELOW?

1# Those are awful results for LITERALLY the best hardware you can currently buy.
2# If you got a 5090 & 9800X3D you most likely have a 4k/120+Hz display, & playing at 60 fps on a 120+Hz display looks awful.
3# A lot of people do not like playing at 60fps in general, especially if you're used to higher framerates.
