The launch of Monster Hunter World on PC feels terrible

[fraggerman]

TL;DR: Port is terrible because of Denuvo and connection issues. Capcom, how did you botch this? You had the same connection issues on Xbox...

Game keeps crashing, Multiplayer doesn't work at all and CPUs are getting fried because Denuvo runs them up to 100%, even my 7th gen i5.

To elaborate: My Game keeps crashing with cryptic errors which I assume are graphic issues if I ever tab out of the game which is inherently neccessary if you want to play online because joining a friends' session doesn't work if it set to private(?!). Exactly this works on PS4, why not here? Now we have to copy the session ID and send it to a friend but chat in the overlay is broken so I have to tab out to send it via the steam client then crash with some cryptic error screen.
While playing my CPU runs at 100% no matter what settings I use and I got a 7th gen i5, a 1060 and 8GB RAM. Every other AAA which doesn't use Denuvo runs with 60+ FPS at highest settings. MHW runs fine at 60 with some stuttering if a lot is going on at Medium but still fries my CPU, hindering me to use any other programs like Teamspeak, Browser etc.
When I finally get into a session with a friend I wait for his cutscenes, which is fine. I knew this would happen, because I played the PS4 version. BUT then when I am able to join I get "Failed to join quest" every damn time.
But the worst of all: My audio keeps cutting of for 1-2 seconds randomly. I blame Denuvo making some crappy calculations and killing some "unneccesary" workload to have more CPU. Because this does not only effect the game but also music playing in the background on my browser.

You took that much time to "optimize" the game for PC but as soon as you put Denuvo in it you just scam all the legitimate players over. Denuvo is known to drive CPUs into absolute disaster. Just remove it, it doesn't help anyone. The game just runs terrible now compared to other AAA titles which do not use Denuvo.

Addendum after the first few "comments": People read Denuvo in the TLDR and immediatly whiteknight, lol. MHW is a beautiful game. I bought the PS4 collectors edition and played several hundred hours already. Try reading the full post and try to understand all the problems I list, okay?

The port is was perfectly well made. Your issues are related to your hardware and drivers. Don't play modern games with a potato CPU. This game is modern, you need modern hardware.
You get a pass on the multiplayer. It's steams fault but it can't be denied.

"Capcom, I'm having hardware and driver problems! It's your fault! Once you get to my house to fix my computer, wipe my bum and get me a bottle!"

Potato CPU? Dude a i5-7300, Geforce 1060 and 8GB ram is way over their recommended hardware requirements. Get it right!

so far launch has been perfect. No issues for 300,000 people playing.

And reviews tell a whole other story. Half of the caring playerbase has issues.

the bulk of them reviews amount to nothing more then wha wha denuvo wha wha

Your computer couldn't last long if you kept playing that game.

A lot of the negative ones I read are rightfully involving network problems. Just a shame most of them won't be changed once the services are sorted out.
