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

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.

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.

NVIDIA GeForce NOW Expands with New Games and Features

The Outer Worlds 2, powered by Unreal Engine 5, supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing on PC. Benchmarks on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 reveal that Ray Tracing improves visuals but causes significant performance drops and noisy shadows, making it less recommended. DLSS 4, especially with Frame Gen, helps achieve playable frame rates at 4K, with the best performance using DLSS 4 Performance Mode. Overall, DLSS 4 offers good visual quality and performance, while Ray Tracing's drawbacks suggest disabling it for smoother gameplay.
