Monster Hunter Wilds gets a PC patch which Capcom says will fix the recently reported DLC performance bug

Capcom released a patch for the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds to address performance concerns, particularly around the Support Desk area in the Base Camp or Grand Hub, where performance drops were noted when players had unclaimed content. The patch aims to resolve an unintended bug related to CPU load increases due to claimed content status checks. An upcoming update is scheduled for February 18 to further enhance stability and performance across all platforms. The latest patch includes improvements to CPU/GPU processing, adjustments to texture streaming and VRAM usage, a new CPU settings tab, expanded graphics options, and various bug fixes. The patch requires approximately 2.0 GB of space, with a total of about 31 GB needed for the High-Resolution Texture Pack. Players are advised to update their video drivers for optimal performance.

Valve Loses Attempt To Throw Out $900m Class Action Lawsuit

A judge has ruled against Valve's attempt to dismiss a class action lawsuit regarding allegations of overcharging and anti-competitive practices, allowing the case, initiated by lawyer Vicki Shotbolt on behalf of 14 million UK Steam users, to proceed. The lawsuit claims Valve's policies violate UK laws on anti-competitive pricing and unfair trading conditions, particularly regarding its restrictions on pricing and additional content sales on competing platforms. Valve's objections to the lawsuit were dismissed by the Competition Appeal Tribunal, which found that the proposed class definition had been adequately revised. The lawsuit seeks £656 million in restitution for UK users.

Valves faces $900 million lawsuit, accused of abusing its dominance in PC gaming to over-charge for games and DLC, as UK court says the case can continue

The UK Competition Appeal Tribunal has allowed a lawsuit against Valve, alleging that the company has used its market dominance to charge inflated prices for games and downloadable content (DLC). The lawsuit, set for 2024, seeks £656 million in damages, claiming that up to 14 million UK gamers may have overpaid between £22 and £44 since June 5, 2018. Vicki Shotbolt, an advocate for children's digital rights, is the proposed class representative for the case, which is part of her campaign "Steam You Owe Us." A judgment on January 26 confirmed the case can proceed to trial, but it does not indicate the merits of the claims. The tribunal's decision suggests there may be grounds to explore allegations of unfair pricing practices by Valve. Additionally, a UK court has ruled that in-game gold can be classified as "property," making it subject to theft laws.

UK activist hits Valve with a $903 million lawsuit — claims Steam is abusing its market dominance and forcing UK consumers to pay too much for Steam games

Vicki Shotbolt has initiated a lawsuit against Valve, seeking £656 million for alleged abuse of market dominance related to its Steam platform. The lawsuit claims that Valve restricts game sales on Steam, preventing developers from using alternative distribution channels, and enforces anti-steering provisions that limit in-game purchases to those who buy the base game through Steam. Shotbolt also argues that Valve's commission structure, which typically retains a 30% cut of revenue, is excessively high compared to the value provided. Valve's commission rates decrease for higher sales volumes, but the standard 30% aligns with industry norms, while the Epic Games Store charges a lower rate of 12%. Despite the lawsuit, Valve's Steam platform remains highly profitable, generating significant revenue per employee.

The Latest Monster Hunter Wilds PC perf drama explained

A Reddit post by user de_Tylmarande claimed that purchasing downloadable content (DLC) could improve frame rates in the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds. Testing revealed that the performance issues were due to a bug related to the game's frequent checks for DLC presence, particularly in specific hub areas. Using a mod called "Less DLC Checks," which integrates with the RE Framework modding tool, players observed significant performance improvements: 11.4% at maximum settings, 20% at high settings, and 25.6% at low settings when DLC checks were blocked. The performance hit primarily occurs near a Support Desk felyne, indicating the availability of DLC. Capcom has not officially addressed the issue, and while the narrative about DLC enhancing performance was debunked, it raises concerns about the company's quality assurance processes.
