Monster Hunter Wilds’ poor performance has been a major issue for players, but a surprising solution has emerged from the community. A random typo in the game’s configuration files appears to have fixed the problem for many users.
The game was overwhelmed by its massive player base, with over 1 million concurrent players jumping into the game in its first few days. However, this led to performance issues such as FPS dips, graphical bugs, and stuttering. Players took to Steam reviews to express their frustration and share potential fixes.
One user, BeepBoop, discovered that fixing a typo in the “Resolution” line of the game’s files improved their performance. Several other players reported similar results, with some seeing a boost of up to 20 frames per second (FPS). Another player saw their FPS improve from average 120fps to 140fps with frame generation enabled.
While the fix may not be reliable for everyone, as some players report no improvement, it’s clear that this solution has helped many. Capcom is still working on officially addressing the game’s optimization issues, but in the meantime, community-driven fixes like this one are helping to improve the player experience.
