"Earlier this month, some Monster Hunter Wilds players reported that the game actually performed better on Steam when it has more DLC installed. Word about that improvement spread quickly among the Monster Hunter Wilds community, but the real reason for the game's improvement isn't about whether the game has DLC. Instead, the problem arises when Monster Hunter Wilds checks for DLC."
"Digital Foundry debunked the notion that more DLC was speeding up Monster Hunter Wilds. Instead, DF discovered that there's an automatic check for DLC that greatly impacts Wilds' performance. According to the report, when the option for DLC content was offered, the game itself "checked for DLC thousands upon thousands of times, adding to the CPU load of an already over-burdened processor" in less than a minute."
Players reported improved Steam performance when more DLC appeared installed, but the improvement stemmed from a technical check rather than DLC content. An automatic DLC check executes thousands of times in under a minute, repeatedly querying DLC presence and substantially increasing CPU load. The repeated checks occur especially in the hub area near a Support Desk Felynes and cause stuttering and slowdowns even when no DLC is present. Community-created mods that reduce DLC checks can alleviate the issue temporarily. Major PC problems remain unresolved, and a promised winter update targeting key issues has not yet fixed many problems.
