In the realm of gaming, performance issues can often overshadow even the most anticipated releases. This has been the case for Capcom’s latest title, Monster Hunter Wilds, where players have expressed frustration over its performance on PC. However, a recent discovery by a dedicated player may shed light on a potential solution.
Uncovering the Performance Mystery
A Reddit user known as de_Tylmarande has taken it upon themselves to investigate the game’s performance woes. Their findings suggest that enabling all downloadable content (DLC) may significantly enhance the game’s performance. This revelation came after they logged into a friend’s account, which had all the cosmetic DLC purchased, and noticed a marked improvement in frame rates, particularly in bustling town areas.
In a detailed post, de_Tylmarande outlined their observations, noting that the only difference between their gaming experience and that of their friend was the ownership of the DLC. They released a video demonstrating the performance disparity, showcasing how frame rates surged when all DLC was activated. This led to the hypothesis that the game performs extensive checks to determine if players possess the DLC, which could be contributing to the lag.
While the notion that players might need to invest over 0 in DLC to achieve optimal performance is troubling, de_Tylmarande does not believe this was an intentional design by Capcom. Instead, they suspect it to be a bug within the game’s code that requires urgent attention. They have also hinted at the possibility of developing a mod to bypass these DLC checks if Capcom does not address the issue promptly.
As the community continues to rally around this discovery, the hope is that Capcom will take the necessary steps to rectify the underlying problems, allowing players to fully enjoy the immersive world of Monster Hunter Wilds without the hindrance of performance issues.
