Monster Hunter Wilds PC players claim that fixing a random typo in the game’s files actually helps its poor performance issues

by

In the computer version of Monster Hunter Wilds, there have been widespread issues with performance. However, players have stumbled upon an unusual solution hidden within the game’s data files.

In its debut this week, Monster Hunter Wilds attracted an extraordinary number of players, with over a million simultaneously engaging in Capcom’s latest blockbuster within the initial days. This figure nearly quadrupled the record set by Monster Hunter World and surpassed other heavyweights like Elden Ring. However, for many players, the experience was marred by drops in frame rate, graphical glitches, and stuttering, leading some to criticize the game on platforms like Steam, using negative reviews as an additional weapon of choice. In essence, PC gamers essentially turned their 15th tool into a platform for voicing their concerns about Monster Hunter Wilds.

Now, players are proactively seeking homemade solutions to address the current issues with the game, as Capcom continues working on improving its optimization problems officially.

According to Steam user BeepBoop, correcting an apparent typo in the game’s configuration files appears to significantly improve performance. They pointed out the misspelling of “Resolution” (“Resoltuion” in the files) in a line concerning texture streaming. “Correcting the spelling seems to have improved my performance, based on what I can tell,” they said.

It seems that not only them but also many others on the forum have reported an improvement in their frame rates after adjusting the type settings. One commenter even stated, “This actually boosted my FPS by about 20 points!” Before making this change, they had never reached three-digit FPS, but now they’re consistently at 110 and it appears to be quite stable, particularly in the hub.

As a gamer, I stumbled upon a tip that some Redditors found beneficial – the typo-fix solution. Some reported noticeable improvements in their frame rates, with one claiming they jumped from an average 120fps to a smoother 140fps while utilizing frame generation. Another player added that they experienced improvement even without frame generation. However, it’s important to note that this fix isn’t a guaranteed solution for everyone. Many gamers mention that the fix seems to have no effect on their games, and some suggest that the perceived benefits might be due to the placebo effect.
