Capcom responds to Monster Hunter wilds PC performance issues

The game peaked at almost 1.4M and is at 1.3M as of right now. It will likely reach 1.4M later today, potentially 1.5M.

Broken games aren't stopping my guy. People buy anyway. Look at PC gamers who supposedly have higher standards. They're probably the largest group playing this game, yet arguably suffer the most from its dodgy quality. That ship has sailed.
Those issues are always overexaggerated.

Console games run and look like garbage by default and no one complains.

It'll be lucky to reach 1.4m looking at it's current trajectory.

Shame, a better port and it probably would have. Saturdays rarely peak higher than Sundays with big titles.

Yep. Everyone screaming to not buy day one or preorder are wasting their time. People will always do whatever they want with their money, they aren't going to listen.

It was at 1.308M when I wrote that post. It's now at 1.367M.
 
If I was Capcom I'd have added to the message: hey PC players, if you want to play decently current gen only AAA games, go buy a PS5 or a high end PC and retire your potato laptop.

Damn this PC gaming shit moves fast if a 3070 ti and 9800x3d is potato laptop tier now.

Keep tilting at the windmills bro, the 1.4 million of us aren't wrong

We're too busy having fun, you should try that sometime. That's what gaming is supposed to be about, having fun

50-60% are reporting a negative experience. By all means though, keep funneling money into their coffers without asking for better. This is why we're that low in the first place.

As if a game running well precluded it from being fun. Dumb post.

1.4 million CCU and around 66k reviews, you are hallucinating a world where 800k out of 1.4 million people playing at once are having a negative experience

Anyways I would rather be playing than replying to you so keep on tilting at the windmills

Yeah, so over 33K have posted a negative review. You think the majority with their 2060s are having a better experience? Lol.

Game runs like absolute trash and we have apologists like you typing dumbassery and defending a subpar experience. Comical.

I love the game, but I get tired of developers throwing out useless advice without being transparent what the actual issues are that effect everyone up to high-end hardware users.

This isn't even a PC-only issue, I'm seeing basic problems any QA tester would notice for the console versions that are fixed SKU, and my friend on PS5 is using the performance mode that forgets its supposed to stay at 60fps while being a blur-fest...the game just wasn't done.

Hope it gets fixed faster than Dragon's Dogma 2 took.

Plenty of people are having fun, most steam reviews are negative. Both can be true and mean something. I think there's a lot of people who don't want to encourage this, because no matter who you are, everyone has a line for when they will not find things acceptable anymore, and it will feel bad to pay $70 for a game you really want to play but know the performance/graphical quality compromises will prevent you from getting the best experience. Watching a movie in 4k with Vaseline smeared all over the screen can still be enjoyable, but let's not ignore the compromises.

Also who uses "Tilting at the windmills"? Did you just read some Don Quixote and decide you were going to use a saying no one uses just to sound smart. 😂 Kids these days.
 
I saw allot game streamers and even influencer playing the game for many hours even coop on PC and it looks good. Ps5 streamers are also stable and look good especially those on ps5 pro. I think majority of the pc issue has been fix. Or they are just using a very expensive and high end pc?
 
As a PC gamer, i am not surprised. And this is what PC gaming had been for decades. Bad PC ports is the norm for as long as I remember and that is why the recent Xbox attempt to astroturf a fake move to PC will not work. With consoles you get fixes quickly. On PC you can fix it yourself and that's mostly about it.

edit: And yes, you can have a "this works fine on MY PC" situation. The whole point is that the issue would vary due to multiple possible setups. You know, that is why it isn't a console. I learn to live with it, but Xbox gamers who are moving to PC probably didn't realize this change.

The reality is the vast majority of people are having good experiences. The game is reported to have already sold over 5-6 million across all platforms, and the people complaining are a tiny minority on the Internet compared to the total sales so far

People bitched endlessly about the state World launched in and it went on to sell 22 million and become Capcpom's best selling game of all time (so far). It should be interesting to see if and when Wilds will beat that number

If it sells more than World, does that make it a better game?

The vast majority of people are sheep and couldnt/wouldnt be able to tell a resolution or how many fps something is running at.

Its a technical shitshow no matter how you try to spin it.

Valid criticism I call it, not 'bitching'.

Issue with every single "but supporting PC with the same executable / porting to PC is easy just ticking a few checkboxes" thread where people pretended or refused to understand this point. PCs are not consoles and PC support is complex for a reason (not impossibly so but it still is).

If you have a powerfull hardware and you just want to bruteforce the game disable the texture pack, doing that got rid of all the choppiness and the game now run smooth as butter in 99% of the case, i can even use dlaa for the best possible iq.

Far from ideal, but the game look like absolute crap texture pack or not, so that is the right move.

It only change some textures in the armours, 90% of the textures are the same.
 
Big, if true.
The incompetence.
Already debunked, many people fixed it and noticed no difference at all.
 
9 times out of 10 I usually expect this outcome with Japanese developers. Not in any offensive way, it's just clear that they normally develop for consoles and/or portables in mind, first and foremost.

That is just the way it is, which is why I usually just buy their games on consoles if I am looking for a day 1 experience.
That's only if you don't have a pc able to bruteforce stuff because i can guarantee you, no japanese game is better played on a console compared to a powerfull pc, even broken stuff like wilds or dogma 2.

Lol 'it has 1 million ccu its a success' crowd. Good I say, let this game sell 20 million and funnel that money towards making Re 9 not look like ass.
 
Shitty response from Capcom but this comforts me even more to not go back to PC gaming. Just by thinking about buying a game and not be able to run it optimally it gives me shiver down to my spine (probably wrong use or grammar of this expression).

This is high textures and 8x texture filter (I have not installed the DLC Highest textures). This may be a bug but it's not pop in, the rocks never improved. Many areas in the oil well basin look like this for me. This game is a joke visually. I'm getting 40-70 FPS during gameplay, with dips / hitches as low as 20-30 FPS on asset load. Usually maintain 55-60ish which is playable.

For reference: I've got a 3070 Ti (Latest driver), Ryzen 7 9800x3D (Sufficiently cooled), x870 chipset, 64 GB DDR5 (6400 Mhz), 4TB Samsung 990 Pro, 1440p Monitor (165 Hz - G-sync). This is basically a 2 week old build and all top tier components except for the video card which I plan to upgrade when the nvidia cards stablize. The game is default settings mostly high, with a few medium settings, and FSR (Had also tried DLSS and was testing FSR out. Performance is about the same.)
It's a bug, i have textures on high and i never saw that.

Imagine thinking the quality of a game is based purely on the resolution or framerate and ignoring the gameplay loop and overall experience and then calling others sheep.

Games are games first, not benchmark software. I think those who have lost sight of that are the real sheep.

That's not even to excuse this or any other game's technical failings. Imagine thinking only the things you personally like/enjoy have value.

Yeah I heard this game is Mh ez mode and there are more walking talking sections 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
Yeah you need a PS5 Pro to fully enjoy this game I guess.
Seems fine on 60fps and 40fps. I haven't watched a tech video but each mode was fine for me. Played on a 1080p plasma, the Portal, and on an OLED Bravia.

I have a variety of complaints with other things but performance hasn't been an issue on PS5 for me.

The issue is that there were just about ~2 whole generations where your statement wasn't true (because that's how bad some Japanese PC ports used to be). The fact that you'd have to brute force it in the first place was the problem because console gamers back then would simply insert a disc and play, regardless of framerate.

I understand that this generation is different and better than previous ones, but there is still a bit of skepticism when it comes to their PC ports (especially on day 1). Obviously in a few months this whole thread might not matter as it will be patched out.

I think i was only playing on console during these 2 gens (i guess ps2, ps3 start of ps4 gens) because since i bought my first serious pc for gaming i have been able to play 99,99% of stuff better than console if i had much superior hardware (and i personally think it's pointless to play on pc without a much better hardware than a console but i don't wanna sound too elitist) so i didn't experienced much of that.
 
we all know pc gamers are like the short guys who are looking for fights because they want to prove themselves. from that footage i can tell that MH on console looks superior to the PC version and that makes them mad. while they're developing rsi while hunched over their $4000 computers that will be outdated in a year, i'll be playing on my PS5 in my comfy couch with graphics that still dominate.

joke, coypasta

It's going to be the Dragon's Dogma 2 script: Game will get patched eventually into an acceptable state, but consoles will be the ones getting to said acceptable state first, and they will be in a better state pound-for-pound when it's all said and done.

There are console things like shared ram pools, hardware decompression etc that PCs simply can't replicate easily and will have to compensate for missing by over-provisioning on key performance areas.

I think people have never given enough credit to the developers that make great looking and smooth console games that push boundaries and yet very solid PC ports too that have good support of the huge variety of HW and drivers and OS versions around.

That is wrongly, IMHO, considered normal and unappreciated and people forget why PC support is difficult and what the console advantage is (fixed HW and driver specs).
