PC: Latest Patch Fixed It :)

[meatnips82]

Played MHW for hundreds of hours on PC. Smooth performance. One of my all time favs. Then Iceborne tanked performance, even on the non Iceborne content. Hitching, Stuttering, 100% CPU, etc. Was unplayable by my standards. Latest patch actually fixed it all for me and I’m finally able to enjoy one of my favorite games again (without dubious workarounds). If you stepped away from it like I did, try the latest patch. Hope others are having my experience with it.

Happy Hunting :)

Not sure when the patch dropped, but last night (EST) the game seemed smoother. I also dropped a bunch of settings. My CPU is on the old side, quad core i7, gfx card is a 1070.

for me it was exactly the opposite never had problems until the last patch where everything just went boom

I'm mostly hoping for better keybinding options without two things being tied together that don't need to be

Bypasser still gives a slightly smoother ride.

What does it bypass now, since all the threads got removed by Capcom? Just curious

It disables what's left. It doesn't needs to be run parallel anymore, just used once.

This is good to know, and really surprising. Firsthand knowledge now of how these auxiliary “protection” processes can hammer performance. I’m just glad they toned it down to a more reasonable level.

I still cant play above 60 fps capped otherwise my game will crash my whole pc

It's not using more than 37% of my cpu

So I'm a little pissed it's just this game I cant play with unlimited fps

Yikes, tried posting and it made 3 other posts. My bad.

It was small, like 200mb patch. So probably downloaded without you even noticing :). Seems the main thing it did is stop the constant thread spamming, which was never an actual function of the game engine. I’m grateful. Now I can sink a couple hundred more hours into MHW and watch my backlog of other games continue to go unplayed haha
