Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC performance might stand to be improved by limiting DLC checks, but that’s not necessarily a silver bullet

Monster Hunter Wilds has been a rough ride on PC since its launch, with performance issues dogging players from the start. Capcom has been pushing patches to smooth out the experience, though those fixes have so far been uneven at best. Recently, users on Reddit dug into what might be causing some of the game’s sluggishness and pointed to its persistent, heavy-handed DLC verification process as a possible culprit. One modder took that theory and developed a patch to ease up on those checks, aiming to boost performance. Still, the general consensus is that while this tweak helps, it won’t single-handedly solve everything. The game’s optimization challenges run deeper than just the way it verifies extra content, suggesting there’s more work ahead before Monster Hunter Wilds truly runs as smoothly as it deserves on PC.
