Monster Hunter Wilds' final patch before DLC brings Arch-tempered Arkveld and 10★ hunts

Patch 1.041 is Monster Hunter Wilds’ final update before the upcoming DLC, adding Arch-tempered Arkveld as a permanent event quest, 10★ permanent hunts for Arch-tempered Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, and Jin Dahaad, and a Monster Hunter Stories 3 collaboration; it also brings Melding Pot and Ingredient Center improvements, Timeworn Charms, more Pop-up Camps, Barrel Bowling tweaks, UI/QoL enhancements, and offline availability for many online-only event quests, along with general performance optimizations and a teaser of a large expansion later this year.

Monster Hunter Wilds PC: DLC Check Bug Causes CPU Strain

Monster Hunter Wilds PC: DLC Check Bug Causes CPU Strain

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix

New tests largely confirm that buying the full cosmetic DLC catalog for Monster Hunter Wilds provides only small, hardware-dependent framerate gains instead of the dramatic boosts initially reported. In controlled runs, RTX 4060 rose from about 66fps to 67fps around base camp, while RTX 5080 went from ~66fps to 73fps (plus small 0.1% lows improvements). Outside base camp, gains are minimal, and the author cautions that spending nearly £460 on cosmetics is not worth it. Capcom’s patch due Jan 27 will be another test, but the evidence so far suggests the DLC checks aren’t a silver bullet for performance.

Fresh Monster Hunter Wilds PC Patch Brings VRAM Tweaks Amid DLC Bug Mystery

Capcom confirmed a Steam-only PC patch for Monster Hunter Wilds (Ver.1.040.03.01) set to go live January 27 at 6 PM PT / January 28 2 AM GMT, adding graphics and CPU settings along with VRAM usage improvements. The update follows a bizarre DLC-related performance bug that tests on Reddit suggested DLC-present builds run significantly faster; Capcom has not yet linked this to the patch, though details were outlined in December and two more patches are planned for January and February 2026. Online sessions will remain active during the patch.

Modder Links DLC Checks to Monster Hunter Wilds PC Performance

Modder Links DLC Checks to Monster Hunter Wilds PC Performance

A Kotaku piece reports a viral theory that Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC stutter and low FPS may be caused by how the game checks for DLC; a Reddit user found dramatically better FPS on a friend’s DLC-enabled account, and a modder released a DLC-check bypass to test the theory; Capcom hasn’t confirmed the claim, though the game has dozens of DLC packs on Steam and patches have repeatedly added more DLC.

Background DLC Checks Drag Down Monster Hunter Wilds Performance on PC, Reddit Finds

Reddit user u/de_Tylmarande reports Monster Hunter Wilds PC runs worse due to a background DLC ownership check that adds CPU overhead; disabling the check with a mod reportedly boosts FPS from about 26 to 46 in a busy hub, with mid-range hardware most affected. Whether this is a bug or deliberate DRM is unclear, but Capcom has released performance patches without addressing this check; more optimizations are promised for 2026, and the mod may be released if Capcom doesn't fix the issue.

Monster Hunter Wilds Likely Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 Amid Leaks and Rumors

There are rumors and datamined hints suggesting that Capcom might be working on a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Monster Hunter Wilds, despite community skepticism about the game's current performance issues on PC and existing consoles. The community's reaction is largely skeptical and humorous, doubting the feasibility of a smooth port given the game's current technical challenges, but the potential use of NVIDIA DLSS on Switch 2 could improve performance. The game has also been updated to address difficulty issues, encouraging lapsed players to return.
