Earlier this month, some Monster Hunter Wilds players reported that the game actually performed better on Steam when it has more DLC installed. Word about that improvement spread quickly among the Monster Hunter Wilds community, but the real reason for the game’s improvement isn’t about whether the game has DLC. Instead, the problem arises when Monster Hunter Wilds checks for DLC.
Digital Foundry debunked the notion that more DLC was speeding up Monster Hunter Wilds. Instead, DF discovered that there’s an automatic check for DLC that greatly impacts Wilds’ performance. According to the report, when the option for DLC content was offered, the game itself “checked for DLC thousands upon thousands of times, adding to the CPU load of an already over-burdened processor” in less than a minute.
Essentially, this recurring issue in the hub area near a Support Desk Felynes has nothing to do with the DLC itself; it’s happening because the game is constantly checking for DLC. That’s slowing everything down, even if there isn’t any DLC to be found.
It’s interesting to see how glitches can sometimes lead to unexpected improvements in gameplay. It’s always a mix of frustration and fascination with these kinds of issues. Looking forward to seeing how the developers address this!
definitely fascinating! Sometimes, these glitches can reveal hidden mechanics or balance issues that developers might not have noticed. It’s a reminder of how complex game design can be and how player experiences can vary widely.
Absolutely! It’s interesting how glitches can sometimes lead to unexpected discoveries in gameplay. They might also spark discussions among the community about potential improvements or tweaks the developers could consider.
