"performance on PC has been notoriously bad Monster Hunter Wilds ' going back to launch, and nobody is quite sure why. One new theory suggests part of the problem could be related to all of the game's DLC add-ons and how it checks for them. It sounds wild, but video footage has made it one of the most convincing possibilities yet."
"Yesterday, user u/de_Tylmarande published a rather lengthy post on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit titled " MH Wilds - Bad performance mystery (Solved?) " As they explain, they discovered the issue by mere chance after playing Monster Hunter Wilds through a friend's Steam account. They immediately noticed that, even though they were using the same machine, Monster Hunter Wilds' FPS was dramatically better when playing the game through their friend's account than on their own."
"After some testing, u/de_Tylmarande came to a bizarre conclusion: the only difference was that their friend had bought all of Monster Hunter Wilds' downloadable content on Steam. As they explained, "on the account with no DLC I get heavy and stable FPS drops down to like 20-25 in hubs, while on the account with all DLC bought it's 80+ FPS.""
Monster Hunter Wilds has experienced poor PC performance since launch with unexplained FPS issues. Testing showed the same hardware reached much higher FPS when the Steam account owned all DLC versus an account without DLC. A custom mod that bypasses DLC checks reproduced the improved performance, implicating DLC verification as a potential cause. The mod creator claims prior success fixing a Capcom PC game's FPS and says that fix was implemented. Player reports indicate performance often worsens with each update, and new updates frequently coincide with additional DLC releases.
