Monster Hunter Wilds Developers to Address Optimization at CEDEC 2025 as New PC Stability Patch Is Announced
Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds continues to face widespread technical criticism on PC, yet the development team is preparing to present a talk on the game’s optimization later this month. According to the official schedule for CEDEC 2025, Japan’s largest annual conference for game developers, Monster Hunter Wilds programmers will delve into the engineering challenges they faced while developing the title—despite its ongoing performance issues.
Performance Claims Stir Ironic Reactions Amid Ongoing PC Problems
The CEDEC session, titled “Techniques for Maintaining Stable Operation While Preserving Game Concepts in Monster Hunter Wilds”, promises insight into how the team approached balancing performance with design goals. However, the announcement has already drawn skepticism from the community, as the PC version of the game continues to suffer from severe optimization issues—running reliably only on high-end hardware with technologies like DLSS, FSR, or frame generation enabled.
Since its February launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has faced consistent performance bottlenecks, with little improvement over multiple updates. Title Update 2, released just yesterday, aimed to reduce VRAM usage, but in turn introduced new stability issues, including game crashes across multiple system configurations.
New Patch Incoming to Address Crashes and Ranged Weapon Bugs
In response to the backlash from Title Update 2, Capcom has announced an upcoming patch version 1.020.01.00, which will specifically address:
Crashes and stability problems introduced in the latest update
A PC-specific issue causing unstable performance when equipping ranged weapons)
While these fixes are welcome, they still do not resolve deeper issues tied to poor CPU utilization, memory leaks, or frame pacing inconsistencies, which have plagued the game since launch. The hope remains that future updates—potentially informed by findings discussed at CEDEC—will address the root causes of Monster Hunter Wilds’ technical shortcomings.
