As excited as PC players are to sink their teeth into the Monster Hunter Wilds<\/strong> Free Title Update 2 content, some of them just can\u2019t. Free Update 2 introduced new issues to Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 already poor performance, and many Japanese players believe the game\u2019s repeated crashes are caused by the game\u2019s anti-cheat system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monster Hunter Wilds uses a mix of the Denuvo Anti-Tamper system<\/a>, Capcom\u2019s proprietary anti-cheat, and community reporting to catch potential cheaters. Many were skeptical about Monster Hunter Wilds using Denuvo Anti-Tamper even before players started using questionable methods to obtain unrealistic times in Time-Based Competition Quests<\/a>. The security system is notorious for increasing CPU usage, lengthening load times, and lowering frame rates. Simultaneously running Monster Hunter Wilds, Denuvo Anti-Tamper, and Capcom\u2019s anti-cheat system puts a lot of stress on players\u2019 PCs, negatively impacting performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monster Hunter Wilds has suffered from these issues in the past, but they seem to have been compounded with Free Title Update 2. According to several Japanese players who tested their computers\u2019 performance with Monster Hunter Wilds running in the background, the game\u2019s anti-cheat systems now check every frame for potential violations<\/a>. This drastically increases the CPU load, which can potentially damage computers. Even if you decide to lower your settings to increase performance, the anti-cheat systems will still kick in between each frame \u2013 making your changes pointless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher-end PCs might be able to run the game, but they will still be impacted by poor performance. Those with mid-to-low range PCs, on the other hand, may experience unwanted sounds from their computers that indicate an overworked CPU<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 Time-Based Competition Quest leaderboards are still filled with cheaters, many players are hoping Capcom will do away with their anti-cheat<\/a> so that they can at least play the game without worrying about damaging their PCs. For now, it might be best to steer clear of the PC version<\/a> until Capcom issues the proper fixes. Monster Hunter Wilds is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
