Following the launch of *Monster Hunter Wilds* on Steam, Capcom has issued official advice to PC players facing performance issues, which contributed to the game's 'mixed' user review rating. The Japanese gaming giant recommends that players update their graphics drivers, disable compatibility mode, and adjust their game settings to optimize performance. Capcom expressed gratitude for the community's patience and support via a tweet.

One of the most helpful negative reviews on Steam highlighted severe optimization problems, stating that *Monster Hunter Wilds* has "the worst optimization I've ever seen." The reviewer acknowledged the increasing demands of new games but found the performance issues inexcusable, especially considering similar problems with *Monster Hunter: World* at launch. They suggested waiting for a more stable release before playing.

Another user echoed these sentiments, criticizing the game's "absolutely atrocious performance" despite its visual quality, noting it ran worse than the beta version.

In response, Capcom released a comprehensive 'Troubleshooting & Known Issues' guide to help players resolve these issues. The guide includes steps to ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements, update video/graphics drivers, check for Windows updates, perform a clean installation of video drivers, update DirectX, and add the game and Steam files to your anti-virus exception list. Additionally, Capcom advises granting administrator privileges to Steam, verifying game files through Steam, and disabling compatibility mode for both the game and Steam executables. If issues persist, players are directed to the Official Monster Hunter Wilds Troubleshooting & Issue Reporting Thread on the Steam community page for further assistance.

Despite these challenges, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has seen an impressive start, nearly reaching 1 million concurrent players on Steam, placing it in the top 10 most-played games of all time. As the weekend approaches, the player base is expected to grow even further.
