Monster Hunter Wilds Finally Rolls Out Patch to Improve Optimization on PC
Will the reviews get back to normal?
Capcom
Monster Hunter Wilds is far from the worst game of 2025, but players definitely tried hard to drown it in negative reviews. Aside from its lack of content, the game is "guilty" of poor performance on PC, but after almost a year since its release, Capcom is finally fixing its optimization with a hefty patch.
Update 1.040.03.01 has already been launched and it introduces improved CPU/GPU processing specific to the Steam version.
Other major changes include:
- Added a CPU tab to the Options menu, allowing players to adjust settings related to CPU load.
- Added new categories to the graphics settings, along with new settings for existing options.
- Adjusted graphic presets and added a confirmation window to automatically update your settings on first launch after updating.
- Expanded the Volumetric Fog setting in the graphics options from two levels to five. The previous "High" setting has been renamed to "Highest," and "Low" to "High," with three new lower options – "Medium," "Low," and "Lowest" – now available.
- Fixed an issue where a warning dialogue incorrectly indicated that the AMD Radeon driver was outdated when using driver version 26.1.1 or later.
The patch will require about 2 GB of disk space and fresh GPU drivers: NVIDIA GeForce 581.57 or newer, or AMD Radeon 25.9.1 or 25.9.2.
Hopefully, this will improve Monster Hunter Wilds' reviews on Steam and, most importantly, players' enjoyment of the game.
