Summary
PC players are seemingly having a very tough time getting theMonster Hunter WildsOpen Beta to run smoothly, with reports of bugs, slowdown, framerate problems, and graphical issues galore.
ConsideringCall of Duty: Black Ops 6 just launched last weekandDragon Age: The Veilguard literally came out yesterday, you’d expect either of them to be topping theSteamcharts with ease. While both of those games are performing well, a new challenger popped out of nowhere and dominated the charts late last night -the open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds.
Long before Monster Hunter Wilds was even available to play on Steam, with25,000 players jumping in just to watch the title screen and wait for entry. Things got even more wild (teehee) when the beta actually kicked off, asWilds managed to draw in nearly half a million players after less than half a day. That’s great news, but it seems like a lot of those players are having a lot of problems.
Monster Hunter Wilds Is Causing Some Problems For Steam Players
While the general reception to Monster Hunter Wilds so far seems to be very positive, Steam players are having a lot of trouble actually getting it to run correctly. Over on the Monster Hunter subreddit, almost all of the most, with a lot of players running into the same issues.
That issue is a very freaky one, as it seems that both humans and monsters are being turned intopixel creatures that wouldn’t look out of place on the PS1. It’s not clear why this is happening, but some players are evenjoking they they’d need to get a refund or upgrade their PCbecause of how the game is running in its Open Beta state.
Beyond the graphical issues, some fans are also running into some performance issues and framerate drops.Redditor handerson15 shared a post calling the game’s issues “unacceptable"considering he’s got a 3060ti, which was joined by players in the comments with even more powerful setups saying they’re running into the same issues.
Of course, Wilds is currently in an Open Beta state so issues like these are to be expected, but it does seem like the game might just be a little too demanding for its own good right now.Capcom has even issued a statement acknowledging some of the known problems on PC, which at least shows that it’s aware of the problems.
