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.

What I gain from everyone comment is this game run poorly = 60 fps

Didn't know 60 fps means run poorly

That 60fps in mid/high range rigs barely holding a stable 60 with upscaling.
O and changing graphics settings only gives about 5-10fps from highest to lowest.
For a game that looks like a last gen game.
A game that bottlenecks every CPU on the planet.
Which means lower resolution doesn't help much either because of the whole CPU thing.

the game dont have LoD everything u see is rendered in full polygons, they need to use geometry compression which support by AMD and NVIDIA but they are not.

Given how many people say they have a 5090 in these threads and say "just upgrade bro", I would surmise that every person in the entire country that has a 5090 are now in these MH threads, so like 50 people

I've seen one or two people show they actually own a 5090 in these forums and both of them with the 5090 was talking about how they were dropping into the 60s.

Like not even NVIDIA employees can get there hands on those cards.

I believe some people but the amount of people saying it is hilarious. I got clowned on for saying a 3080ti isn't that old compared to the compute grunt of every card except for the 4080/5080. Maybe in some games the 4070 ti super (Originally 4080 12 GB) and got told that I should upgrade to a paper launch

With magic touch from mighty duck my low spec pc can run the game smoothly at medium setting. 28 feb please come sooner.

wilds reminds me of 2077, except that the game would only have technical issues and not also game bugs, you are entitled to your feelings and choice, good luck

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.

I mean yes im using frame gen but i run the game absolutely smooth as butter with no ghosting or noticable imput lag at around 100fps+ on my 4070 ti super and 5700x3d. 1440p ultrawide. Ultra settings, quality upscaling.

With frame gen lol.

Not fooling anyone.

Fr bros complaining about FPS like its a competitive shooter. Its a co-op kids game about hunting monsters you dont need like 144fps+ avg to play it

For those of us with above requirement hardware who aren't hitting 60, this kind of elitism isn't helping us either. It's not helping the case.

lol the guy with top tier gaming hardware complains about elitism

Game lists high requirements and NORMAL FPS numbers. OP scream at high requirements and 'low' fps numbers. Makes sense it's on the steam forums.

60 fps is your target as listed, why are you expecting more? Sounds like 'just because'.

30fps without frame gen is "NORMAL FPS numbers" for a PS4 looking game on PC? That's what Capcom seems to think.

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

Did Capcom officially say the benchmark is representative of the final build?

Yes.

"This means that neither Open Beta Test 1 or 2 are representative of the experience you’ll have when the game launches, so please don’t base your optimisation / performance expectations on those. Instead, please download and give the Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark a spin and you’ll get a much more accurate and reliable insight into how your PC will run the game at launch."

hardware will allways be a (pretended) problem with games with
the choice of the wrong engine for a game
bad or not existing optimisation
adding cpu-&ram-hogging anti-tamper/copy protection
....

all "white knighting",
all trolling,
all (bought/paid) public relations
all (bought/paid) influencers
all defaming/bullying of critics
...
can not change that

if a game looks similar to or worse then even 7 year old (or even older) games on 9(+) years old hardware,
and even needs framegeneration and upscaling to get fhd 60fps
while said (in terms of visuals) competing older games on said older hardware have zero issues running fhd 60fps+
something is 100% wrong

if a game looks (by far) worse then (more or less) current games on (more or less) current hardware,
while needing framegeneration and upscaling to get fhd 60fps
while said current (competing) games do fhd 120fps+ on the same hardware without such "framefaking" and upscaling
something is 100%wrong

all "white knighting",
all trolling,
all (bought/paid) public relations
all (bought/paid) influencers
all defaming/bullying of critics
...
can not change that

can it run crysis?
can it run cities skylines 2?
can it run mh wilds?

ps using the latest rtx 5xxx series as a reference point might not be a smart idea
considering the minuscule performance gains compared to the rtx 4xxx series
where only the 5090 stand out a little(!)
but
all that mixed with (not really) pretty price premiums and power usage
nvidia managment and investors like that
reminds of what we had with new intel cpu generations,
until amd released the first gen ryzen
and
then for a lot of games and some applications even more intersting ryzen x3d cpu´s

Anyways, Intel Arcs have more VRAM for a smaller pricetag, i wont be buying any Nvidia card ever again.

Game was running at 100 - 130 FPS for me at 1440 p no upscaling and framegen off.

With framegen on I was over 200 FPS
