Monster Hunter Wilds PC: DLC Check Bug Causes CPU Strain
TL;DR Summary
Digital Foundry confirms that PC performance issues in Monster Hunter Wilds come from the game repeatedly checking for DLC in hub/base camp areas, which increases CPU load. Buying DLC doesn’t actually boost performance; the issue is a bug. A mod called Less DLC Checks blocks these checks and can improve FPS by roughly 11–26% depending on settings. Capcom should fix the bug, but there is a workaround, especially noticeable on hub areas and lower-end CPUs.
