Capcom Experiences Shortage of Breaking Glasses for Monster Hunter Wilds, Plans to Enhance PC Performance This Winter with Comprehensive Strategy
Capcom's popular action-RPG, Monster Hunter Wilds, has been facing performance issues on PC since its launch earlier this year. The company has announced a significant winter update, Free Title Update 4, aimed at addressing these concerns.
The update will bring a multifaceted performance overhaul, targeting both CPU and GPU problems. It will be deployed in two stages: the first delivering the main optimization fixes, followed by additional measures to ensure stability and performance. Unlike previous patches, this update will have a lighter content load, featuring only one new monster and some tougher hunts, without new weapon changes or reward systems.
The performance issues in Monster Hunter Wilds have been noticeable after a few dozen hours of gameplay and have been a source of frustration for players. Capcom acknowledges the difficulty in reducing CPU load without worsening other performance aspects, due to the game’s architecture. The company advises players to adjust frame rate limits according to their hardware to manage CPU usage effectively.
Smaller optimization updates will be released in the weeks leading up to the winter update to gradually improve PC performance. Capcom is committed to listening to player feedback and improving the performance and stability of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC.
