Amid 'Mixed' Steam User Review Rating, Capcom Issues Monster Hunter Wilds PC Troubleshooting Guide

Following the launch of *Monster Hunter Wilds* on Steam, Capcom has released official advice for PC players to address the game's 'mixed' user review rating due to performance issues. The Japanese game developer recommends that players update their graphics drivers, disable compatibility mode, and then fine-tune their game settings to improve gameplay experiences.

Capcom expressed gratitude for the community's patience and support in a tweet, stating, "Thank you all for your patience and support!"

A 'most helpful' Steam review marked as 'Not Recommended' pointed out severe optimization issues, with the reviewer stating, "*Monster Hunter Wilds* has the worst optimization I've ever seen." They expressed frustration over the game's demanding nature and the recurring issue of poor performance at launch, similar to what happened with *Monster Hunter: World*. While acknowledging the game's potential, the reviewer suggested waiting for a more stable release.

Echoing these sentiments, another negative review criticized the game's performance, noting it ran "even worse than the beta" despite the game's visuals.

In response, Capcom has provided a comprehensive 'Troubleshooting & Known Issues' guide to help players resolve these issues. The guide includes steps to ensure your PC meets the game's minimum system requirements, updating video/graphics drivers, checking for Windows updates, performing a clean installation of video drivers, updating DirectX, and adding the game and Steam files to your anti-virus program's exception list. Additionally, Capcom advises running Steam and the game with administrator privileges and verifying the integrity of game files through Steam.

Despite these performance hiccups, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has seen an impressive start, with nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam, placing it among the top 10 most-played games of all time on the platform. As the weekend approaches, the game's popularity is expected to surge even further.
