US EditionBelieve it or not, Monster Hunter Wilds may be running poorly on your PC if you own less DLC
- Recently, a Monster Hunter Wilds modder on Reddit published tests showing they fooled the game into thinking all DLC were installed, skipping a heavy routine and sent findings to Capcom.
- The game repeatedly performs DLC presence checks that add CPU load, so owning less DLC forces constant re-checking and worsens framerate, as in Monster Hunter Wilds, which offers cosmetic DLC costing 461.53 on Steam.
- In controlled tests the modder recorded 20 to 25 fps in player hubs with no DLC and over 80 fps using the DLCPresenceFix mod, reporting 'Performance went through the roof' and 'The game literally flies.'
