Monster Hunter Wilds: The Typo That Boosted Performance

Monster Hunter Wilds made a huge splash with its release, drawing in over a million players at once on Steam. But, PC gamers faced a lot of issues. The game had problems like crashes, low frame rates, and weird texture glitches. Even players with top-notch GPUs, like the RTX 4090, struggled with these problems. The game's performance issues were so bad that many players were frustrated. Some even reported that the game ran poorly on high-end setups. The game's rating on Steam reflected this, with thousands of users complaining about the poor performance. But here's where it gets interesting. A player found a typo in the game's configuration file. Instead of "Resolution, " it said "Resoltuion. " This small mistake might be causing some of the performance issues. After fixing the typo, some players saw a big jump in their frame rates. One player even reported a 30-40 FPS boost. The typo might not just affect frame rates, though. Some players noticed that textures loaded better and GPU usage became more stable after fixing it. One player even said their memory usage dropped, allowing them to keep high-texture settings without major pop-in issues. But not everyone saw an improvement. Some said it made no difference at all. It's still unclear exactly how much impact this typo has, but the community is actively testing it. Players also found that changing two additional settings in the config. ini file helped improve performance significantly. The settings were ParallelBuildProcessorCount and RenderWorkerThreadPriorityAboveNormal. After tweaking these settings, they noticed a big jump in FPS, bringing them closer to 60 FPS most of the time with DLSS set to Quality. Capcom, the game's developer, has been aware of PC performance issues and recently addressed the issues in a support thread on the official website. However, it hasn't specifically commented on the config typo. It's unclear whether this typo is something Capcom will patch or if it's just an odd coincidence that changing it improves performance for some players. But given the growing reports of FPS gains and texture improvements, it might be worth fixing manually for now. So, if you're struggling with performance in Monster Hunter Wilds, try checking your config file and correcting "Resoltuion" to "Resolution, " it just might help.
