Summary
- Monster Hunter Wilds has been going through hell on PC due to its massive performance issues.
- It’s not clear why the game is running so badly for most, but some think it’s due to a simple typo in the game’s code.
- Resolution is accidentally spelled as “Resoltuion”, which some have corrected and reported fixes from doing so.
Monster Hunter Wilds players have discovered a small typo in the game’s configuration settings and think that correcting it fixes a bunch of the game’s performance problems on PC.
When Capcom blessed us all with a free and early look at Monster Hunter Wilds through multiple open betas earlier this year, console players were mostly having the time of their lives. That wasn’t the case over on Steam, though, as the beta was riddled with performance and optimisation issues that Capcom promised would be fixed for the final release.

Cut to last week’s long-awaited launch and that’s not the case at all, as Monster Hunter players on PC are still having a ton of issues getting the game to run properly. Wilds might have reached over one million players on Steam during its launch day, but the “Mixed” reviews make it clear that it’s been a very rough few days for anyone playing on PC.
Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC Performance Issues Could Be Due To A Typo In The Code
The most likely reason for Monster Hunter Wilds having such bad performance issues is simply due to poor optimisation and the fact that it’s quite a detailed and demanding game. That being said, some players think that there’s another reason altogether, and it could be as simple as a single letter in the code being out of place.
Over on the Monster Hunter subreddit, one of the most popular posts comes from Redditor Zedaso, who shared a discovery made by BeepBoop on Steam. According to them, there’s a typo in the game’s configuration files, with the Resolution accidentally spelled as “Resoltuion” for some reason.
Such a small spelling mistake might not seem like a big deal, but players are reporting that fixing it and changing it back to “Resolution” causes the game’s performance to get much better. Across the Reddit thread, many claim that doing so has fixed many of Wilds’ performance issues, which is, pardon the pun, wild if true.
Right now, it’s not clear if the typo being fixed actually helps the game’s performance or if this is a classic case of placebo for players wanting it to be better, but there’s a decent amount of discussion on both sides. It likely isn’t the root cause for all of Monster Hunter Wilds’ issues, but it does seem to make some of them better.but there’s a decent amount of discussion on both sides
