Following the launch of *Monster Hunter Wilds* on Steam, Capcom has addressed the community's concerns regarding performance issues, which contributed to the game's 'mixed' user review rating. The company has released official advice for PC players to help optimize their gaming experience.
Capcom recommends that Steam users update their graphics drivers, disable compatibility mode, and then adjust their game settings to address any initial performance hiccups. The company expressed gratitude for the patience and support of the player base, stating, "Thank you all for your patience and support!" via a tweet.
In response to criticism, such as one 'Not Recommended' review describing *Monster Hunter Wilds* as having "the worst optimization I've ever seen," Capcom has also provided a comprehensive 'Troubleshooting & Known Issues' guide. This guide includes steps to ensure that players' systems meet the game's minimum requirements, update necessary drivers and software, manage antivirus settings, and verify game files through Steam.
Despite these optimization challenges, *Monster Hunter Wilds* has achieved remarkable success, with nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam, positioning it among the platform's top 10 most-played games. As the weekend approaches, the game's popularity is expected to surge even further.
To aid new players in getting started, resources such as guides on lesser-known game mechanics, a detailed breakdown of all 14 weapon types, a comprehensive walkthrough, and instructions for multiplayer and beta character transfer are available. IGN's review of *Monster Hunter Wilds* scored an 8/10, commending the game for refining the series' mechanics while noting a lack of challenge in some aspects.
