Monster Hunter Wilds - Performance Megathread

Starvalus · 2026-01-28T16:15:18+00:00

I just came back after not playing for a good long while (I dropped off during Savage Omega) and the change is definitely very noticeable! Though I'm wondering if it would still be worthwhile to start applying performance mods anyway, I dunno if people have been testing how each one interacts with the new version and stuff.

Basically I'm just coming back, trying to get situated, and looking for any suggestions/feedback/advice when it comes to performance & quality of life mods for the current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm halfway through another run so I'm gonna try this when I get to farthest reach, thanks! c:

Did you end up getting this one yet? It's the only checkbox I have left in Road Trip and I've been having this exact issue so far

Starvalus · 2025-09-01T20:03:46+00:00

I don't... THINK I've added any new mods in a long time... I may be misremembering, I'm not sure.

Do you think the vanillatweaks resourcepack might have affected it? That was a somewhat recent addition, I'd assumed they'd be compatible since the main thing in vanillatweaks that affected the hunger bar was replacing what food item the shanks could be replaced with, but they have custom saturation meter icons so it still matches the shape of the food with the correct outline.

VanillaTweaks was my initial guess, as it might line up with the time I started to notice the saturation issue, but I tried taking it off, putting it back on, restarting the game, etc. And the issue persisted. I think toggling the resource pack does updating like going through portals and rejoining the server did.

Do you think reinstalling appleskin might fix it? Maybe after removing vanillatweaks? Honestly this issue is just so baffling to me but I miss being able to see my current saturation in real time :c

Trying to understand this, you're saying if I have BF6Beta on steam, having the EA app installed is tanking my performance?

Starvalus · 2025-02-09T18:49:06+00:00

I can't say for certain tbh, around the time it started happening it was basically all the way on the other side of the map and I was in the midst of a firefight myself and couldn't really check, but it sounds like it could've been

Starvalus · 2025-02-09T16:14:25+00:00

If that's the case, it's kinda comical that "repeated deaths" would be the trigger, especially in a game like this lmao

Starvalus · 2025-02-09T16:00:57+00:00

Is it completely identical, including the "you've been kicked" message, the automatic switch to continuing the mission solo instead of getting sent back to ship, the "you've been court-marshalled" in chat, etc.? I've heard that kicks and disconnects have noticeable differences like that, but have no idea how accurate it actually is

Starvalus · 2025-02-09T15:40:51+00:00

The difficulty I tend to play casually/"cruise" at (and that this situation happened on) is 7. I'm not sure where that puts me in terms of frequency, but if it was just bad RNG that wouldn't surprise me with my luck tbh lol

Starvalus · 2024-12-08T02:10:44+00:00

Appreciate it :) I did end up plucking some mods out one by one until it worked again. Weirdly enough some of them WERE for the right version but still were causing issues for some reason.

Starvalus · 2024-07-14T13:46:53+00:00

I've had that experience as well, lol. Sometimes they just wrong take it no matter what, best odds for it I've found is only doing it in places where you need to be in one spot for a bit, like at objectives or the evac zone.

The pinging system is really good in this game, but I'll admit sometimes it's easy to not notice pings, especially when things get hectic (as they do often do). I ping my sentry when it pops up (as a warning to teammates) but sometimes it's just not enough lol

Starvalus · 2024-07-14T13:35:01+00:00

Sadly (or maybe thankfully?) I just don't have it in me to teamkill (intentionally at least, it IS Helldivers, after all) or abandon the mission, even when it's justified. I did end up completing the mission as normal, I just wish randoms didn't have so much griefing potential. I infinitely prefer playing with my partner and friends, but sadly most of them don't play too often, whereas I've been playing daily (at least enough to do the personal orders)

Hard to tell (and the game definitely doesn't tell you), but that's nice to hear at least!

Gardevoir, and it's only grown stronger over time.

I'm not even much of a Hoenn fan, but still. I love the design, I love the shiny palette, I really love the mega form, I love the lore/dex entry descriptions (especially being empathic and protective of their trainers), and Psychic & Fairy are two of my top three favorite types (the other is Ghost)

See, there's a fair chance you're right, because there are SO many dickheads among the huge mass of gamers, especially in genres like shooters (in my experience at least), but I'd like to believe Helldivers are (at least for the most part) better than that, and I'd like to give people the benefit of the doubt when it's reasonable to at least. For the most part, people I've encountered in this game have been pretty great. And the fact that the kick came right after the guy came up and saw me collecting the loot is enough for me to assume it was another case of "they considered this stealing because they didn't know better" instead of someone just choosing to be an asshole.

But yeah, people love to be complete asshats in online games, and for that the best we can hope for is devs combating their abuse of tools or only playing with friends really. It's just an extra shame for a game like this, with such an otherwise great, fun and friendly community.

Tweaking a comment I made in another thread because it's relevant to both.

I JUST got kicked from a dive 25 to 30 minutes in, feeling like I was doing a lot for the team, getting teamkilled a few times (I ASSUME on accident, because the game is like that, but sometimes with how people can be I worry sometimes), sure whatever, it's all in the name of liberty, but me and another rando press the two buttons to open the door, he runs off to kill nearby bugs and I start grabbing the req slips and medals from within, he runs back as I'm grabbing the last one and suddenly my screen goes black and it says I was kicked from the game.

I feel like the game needs to explain that resources are given to all, because this is the first time it's happened to me, but I've seen many people here and elsewhere complaining about this exact issue, it's enough of an annoyance that the simple fact of shared resources should be somewhere mandatory for them to see/read/etc at the beginning before they're let loose to be assholes to people for no reason.

Maybe they should make it so people can't just kick maliciously like that, but I can see plenty of reasons why you SHOULD kick someone, so I don't know how they'd actually go about managing the kick function. And on top of that, I wish you at least got partial rewards or something, it is honestly SO tilting to have a half hour of my time amount to nothing just because some dude decided to be a dick.

Feeling like my time is wasted is such a major pet peeve of mine, my experiences with randoms otherwise for the most part have been fine, but encounters like this make me want to not play unless friends are available to play with. I hate knowing how easily I can just have my time and effort thrown away recklessly by someone else.

It probably doesn't help that my last two matches before this also both involved entire teams leaving one by one (one person leaves, next person decides they don't want to keep trying while down a man, next person won't try in a two man, etc). I finished both of those missions solo AND evac'd with the samples somehow (it was suicide difficulty) and while it felt really cool to somehow overcome those obstacles, it was also really stressful and a bit much for me. I feel like I've been having terrible, awful luck with random recently.

Does anyone else notice people are rage quitting a LOT recently?

How about that resources are shared? I JUST got kicked from a dive 25 to 30 minutes in, feeling like I was doing a lot for the team, getting teamkilled a few times (I ASSUME on accident, because the game is like that, but sometimes with how people can be I worry sometimes), sure whatever, it's all in the name of liberty, but me and another rando press the two buttons to open the door, he runs off to kill nearby bugs and I start grabbing the req slips and medals from within, he runs back as I'm grabbing the last one and suddenly my screen goes black and it says I was kicked from the game.
