Monster Hunter Wilds Is Having Some Problems On PC, But Capcom Is Here To Help

by

Today marks the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, but some gamers using Steam are encountering difficulties. Fortunately, Capcom has offered solutions for troubleshooting issues like the game failing to load or cutscenes that won’t play.

You can read the detailed steps below.

To ensure a smooth gaming experience with Monster Hunter World, it’s important to check if your computer meets the minimum system requirements and that your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Also, make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed and add the game to your antivirus software’s exception list.

It’s recommended that players grant administrative privileges to Steam and perform a file verification check on Steam. If any files don’t pass the verification, they should not be replaced during the process. Disabling Compatibility Mode for the “MonsterHunterWilds.exe” program might offer some assistance as well.

The action-adventure game, Monster Hunter Wilds, is now playable on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. On its debut day, it has taken the lead in Steam’s rankings with more than 1.2 million simultaneous players, outperforming the previous records set by Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise, which had 330K and 230K concurrent players respectively at their launches.

In the TopMob’s review of Monster Hunter Wilds, we noted that it has some problems, but it continues to refine a successful blueprint by offering an engaging array of beasts to hunt.

Monster Hunter Wilds Steam Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Make sure you meet the minimum system requirements for the game.
  2. Update your Video/Graphics Drivers.
  3. Check for Windows Updates and ensure all of the latest programs are installed to your OS.
  4. If you still experience issues, try performing a clean installation of the video driver set.
  5. Update DirectX to the latest version.
    For details on how to update DirectX, please visit the Microsoft support page or Microsoft Download Center.
  6. Add the game’s folder and files to your anti-virus program’s exception / exclusion list.

Default Paths:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\MonsterHunterWilds

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\MonsterHunterWilds\MonsterHunterWilds.exe

  1. Add folder and files for Steam.exe to your anti-virus program’s exception / exclusion list.

Default Paths:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe

  1. Give administrator privileges to Steam.
    To run Steam.exe in administrator mode, right-click on the .exe file and select “Run as administrator.”
  2. If you still experience issues, try logging into your PC in administrator mode and then run the game’s execution file (MonsterHunterWilds.exe).
  3. Verify the game’s files on Steam.

To verify your game’s files, follow these steps:

  • Restart your computer and launch Steam.
  • From the “Library” section, right-click on the game, and select “Properties” from the menu.
  • Select the “Installed Files” tab and click the “Verify integrity of game files” button.
  • Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.

Note: Some local configuration files might not pass the verification check. These files aren’t meant to be overwritten during this process. Don’t worry about this message; it’s safe to disregard it. If any problematic files were found, Steam will automatically download and update them for you.

11. Disable Compatibility Mode for “MonsterHunterWilds.exe” if enabled.

  • Right click on “MonsterHunterWilds.exe” located in the following folder:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\MonsterHunterWilds
    • The above is the default location.
  • Go to Properties
  • Open Compatibility tab
  • Untick “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”

12. If the problem persists, could you try disabling Compatibility Mode for the “Steam.exe” file found in the specified folder below? Here’s how to do it:

– Locate the Steam.exe file in the specified folder.
– Right-click on the file and select ‘Properties’.
– Navigate to the ‘Compatibility’ tab.
– Uncheck the box that says ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for:’
– Click ‘Apply’ and then ‘OK’.

This should resolve any issues with Steam.exe not functioning properly due to Compatibility Mode.

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
