Another modern PC game, another potential headache. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts stunning visuals, but sometimes beauty comes with its own set of technical challenges. If you're encountering issues launching Monster Hunter Wilds on your PC, here are a few troubleshooting steps to try.

Troubleshooting Monster Hunter Wilds Launch Issues on PC

If Monster Hunter Wilds refuses to start, even after launching from Steam, don't despair. Here are a couple of simple fixes worth trying:

Restart Steam: A surprisingly effective solution for many players is a simple restart of Steam. Completely close the application (end any background processes), then relaunch Steam and attempt to start the game. This might require a few attempts, so be patient.

Delete Crash Report Files: If restarting Steam doesn't work, navigate to the game's installation folder on your PC. Locate and delete the files CrashReport.exe and CrashReportDLL.dll. After deleting these files, try launching the game again.

Reinstall or Contact Support: If neither of the above solutions resolves the issue, a complete game reinstall might be necessary. Alternatively, consider contacting customer support for further assistance. The problem could stem from a system incompatibility, but a fresh installation often resolves many launch problems.

It's possible this is a widespread issue. If so, Capcom will likely release a patch to address the problem. In this case, patience is key while waiting for an official fix.

Hopefully, these steps will get you back to hunting monsters in no time! For more Monster Hunter Wilds tips and guides, including armor set lists, cooking recipes, and pre-hunt meal strategies, be sure to check out The Escapist.
