Monster Hunter Wilds is hitting huge numbers on PC, and while there are major performance issues, some fans have seemingly spotted a surprising fix here's all we knowTech11:16, 03 Mar 2025PC performance is the real Monster, at least for now(Image: Capcom)Monster Hunter Wilds is out, with Capcom's latest action title setting franchise records on PC despite major performance woes on the platform.Even users with pretty capable PCs are having issues playing the game with a consistent frame-rate, while some textures look almost unfinished.Despite that, the game has been racking up more than a million hunters, and now one player among them has seemingly sussed out what could be causing the issues and, to the surprise of many, it could be down to a typo in the game's files.Here's what we know, and how it could fix your Monster Hunter Wilds experience.PC players have been left disappointed by Wilds so far(Image: Capcom)Over on Steam, one user spotted that there's a config file that had the word 'Resolution' misspelled as 'Resoltuion', and fixing it could lead to performance improvements.The user, known as BeepBoop, said "Fixing the misspelling gave me a performance boost from what I can tell," while also acknowledging that one line can be deleted.It could be a sort of 'Placebo effect', but BeepBoop says they saw a jump in frame rate while others have mentioned increases in FPS ranging from 10% to staggering jumps of 30 to 40 FPS.Some sadly reported that the tweak did nothing for their performance, and are likely hoping for a performance-related patch to roll out in the coming days.Once the issues are fixed, Wilds is a fantastic game(Image: Capcom)A typo may seem like a minor thing, but it's not the first time this has happened. Aliens: Colonial Marines, one of the biggest cautionary tales in gaming, launched with enemy AI completely broken until a modder spotted a typo years later, essentially fixing the Alien's AI behaviour with a spellcheck.Here's hoping Monster Hunter Wilds is fixed soon, because as we explained in our review, Wilds is a "fitting sequel to World that expands upon it in every way"."Monster Hunter Wilds is everything I couldve asked for in a sequel to Monster Hunter World. Ive finished the campaign, put dozens of hours into the post-game, and I still feel like theres so much more to see.""I cant wait to see what the community thinks, but I feel this could well be regarded as one of the best games of the year whether youre a Monster Hunter fan or a newcomer."Article continues belowIt's worth noting we reviewed it on a PS5 Pro.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
