Capcom has addressed the issues raised by players regarding the performance of the PC edition of Monster Hunter Rise, a highly anticipated sequel to Monster Hunter World that gained popularity worldwide in 2018. Despite garnering mixed reviews on Steam due to optimization concerns, the game has consistently ranked high on Steam’s player count charts, amassing over one million concurrent players at its peak, placing it among the top six most played games of all time. Many gamers have voiced complaints about suboptimal performance in the PC version, but this hasn’t deterred its success.

Capcom responds to optimization complaints from Monster Hunter Wilds players on PC

Today marks the release of “Monster Hunter Wilds” on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. This is the latest installment in the long-running “Monster Hunter” series, which began with the original game in 2004. Previews leading up to today’s launch of “Wilds” have showcased a dynamic open world featuring stunningly realistic graphics. Given the excitement surrounding this game, it’s not surprising that many players are eager to jump in. However, it’s worth noting that not all PCs are equally capable, so some may encounter difficulties running such a large and new game. Interestingly, some players have reported experiencing issues even with high-end, modern systems when playing on Steam.

Fortunately, Capcom promptly addressed the situation. The Monster Hunter Status account posted advice on popular social media platforms regarding troubleshooting for Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam. They suggested updating your graphics driver, disabling compatibility mode, and then readjusting settings if you’re encountering any initial problems with the game. Additionally, they provided a link to a Monster Hunter Wilds support page that guides players on how to proceed if the game fails to run smoothly.

Since the game is brand new, it’s likely that the performance issues some players are encountering will be addressed with updates over the weekend. However, if you’re thinking about diving into the Steam version, it might be wise to hold off and see if anything improves first. If your computer can handle large, modern games like this one, you should be good. On the other hand, if you’re playing on a console, that could be the safest choice at the moment, given that Monster Hunter Rise supports crossplay, so you won’t miss out on gaming with friends across different platforms.
